Nr Seville Typewriting Class The Commercial Department of Seville High School began with the organization of classes in Com- mercial Geography, Commercial Arithmetric and Bookkeeping in the fall of 1921 but was broadened by the purchase of eight Royal typewriters, in September 1922, and the introduction of Typewriting and Shorthand in the curriculum thus making the commercial cycle complete. It has been our aim to make the work of the commercial department of such a character that pupils are not drawn into it because it is “soft” but only after they have carefully decided, as a result ofi thoughtful deliberation, that they want to make a life work of business. Our plan of permitting students to take commercial work is this : (1) Any student may elect the commercial work but upon so doing must complete the course if capable. (2) Others may elect if the departments are not full. (3) Seniors, who have the time and opportunity, may take typewriting as a sideline but will receive no credit. In the last year the department has added two new Underwood typewriters and an Edison-Dick mimeograph and mimeoscope from which we print our own programs, announcements and advertising matter for the various social functions and local business concerns. Each of the 43 students now enrolled in the Commercial Department has an opportunity of learning how to use the mimeoscope and mimeograiph. Seville Commercial Class
