Eleven of these are Royals, five ore L. C. Smiths, and two are Underwoods. First yerr tyring students are expected to bo i typing at an average speed of 35 words a minute by the end of the year. Some second year students h ve reached speeds of over 65 words per minute, although the average is expected to be about 55 wordy per minute by the end of the year. Shorthand students are taking new dictation at srcec.s from 60 to 80 words per minute. The Bookkeeping class is completing the year by keeping a c unlete columnar set of books for a-filling station. The Commercial Department has exprned into its new quarters, the first two rooms on the north end of the sec .r.c flo'-r. The possibility of adding additional courses to meet the demand for Commercial work is being considered. An even more successful record is expected for next year.
