Why this poor fellow didn't have to advertise for a secretaryg all he had to do was call the commercial department of New Bern High School. Sixty words per minute for five min- utes is the minimum requirement of the short- hand course. Then, of course, those words must be transcribed in mailable form. In the typewriting class the students de- velop practical ability in the use of the type- writer. They learn machine adjustments so that they are able to type letters, address en- velopes, center tabulations, fill in business and legal forms correctly and rapidly. The bookkeeping classes are taught the principles of debit and credit, and how to record the daily business transaction of a sole proprietorship or a partnership. ':.

They know, too, that they are fortunate to be allowed to work with their hands. This department, instigated at New Bern High four years ago in order to give boys and girls here an opportunity to develop technical skills, offers basic training in auto mechanics, metal craft, radio, and electricity, and advanced work in wood craft.
