, ,Q r , wx.-- ,,,-x , f , X In N xx T' Y SE A , if 3 ft , V Commerce and Accounting The Department of Commerce ancl Accounting was organizerl three years ago with a total class enrollment of about one hnnrlrecl, representing classes in stenog- raphy, typewriting and elementary accounting, with one instructor in charge. The clepartnient grew rapidly: ancl the spirit in which the stuclents took hzilrl ol' the work ancl the interest that soon cleveloperl are nianifestecl by the fact that now the total class enrollment is over two huntlrerlancl fifty pursuing courses in Principles of Accounting, .fXcconnting Theory ancl Practice, Aclvancecl accounting, llusiness Law, llusiness Organization anrl Management, Salesmanship, Court Reporting, Scientific Management, Stenography ancl Typewriting. Three in- structors are now in charge of the work of the clepartment. Next year the fourth year of the work will be given. The present crowclecl conclitions, which have been a great obstacle to the proper execution of the work, will be still more keenly felt when more classes and aclclecl equipment have to be proviclecl for. New courses, such as Creclits ancl Collections, Commercial ancl lnrlustrial tieorgraphy, llusiness Organization ancl Management, .-Xutliting anrl Systematizing, Arlvancecl .Xccounting Problems, Insurance ancl Cost .tXceounting, will be arlclecl to the curriculum. An inclication ofthe enthusiasm anrl spirit of eo-operation shown hy the stutlents is the hearty support given the organization of the L'onnnercial Club, which, as the name implies, has for its purpose the promotion of interest in aclvancefl busi- ness subjects, the encouragement of high scholarship among its inentbers as well as the general growth ancl clevelopment of the whole tlepartnient. The club has petitionecl for a chapter of the national connnercial fraternity Alpha Kappa l'si. The work of the clepartnient is not' intenrleil to give preparation merely for the office stenographer or bookkeeper, but to ol't'er that thorough, broacl, funtlznnental training in business principles antl proceclure, organization- :incl management so essential to the business manager, the treasurer, corporation secretary, professional accountant, auditor, eretlit man, atlvertiser ancl others engagecl in executive ancl aclininistrative alffairs. The rleparttnent cloes not intencl to compete with the see- ontlary schools, as so many think, but utilizes the seeonclary school training as a basis upon which to builcl the superstructure of specialization. The opportunity for tnen ancl women well preparerl in aclvaneecl business prin- ciples ancl practice is beco-ming greater every clay, Never before has the rlemantl been so keen for expert efficient 'help as now, ancl the rapicl expansion of business only means a beginning of the great opportunities that await those who are thoroughly prepared. l'np.:u 'I'wvnt,r-six
