Business Education Department Offers Valuable Courses in Everyday Life Valuable courses in everyday life and in earning a living are offered in the busi- ness education department. Typing is a timesaving skill that nearly everyone needs. In addition i iis vocational and personal values, the study of bookkeeping makes an individual aware of the problems of the American way of life. Skill in shorthand will open the door of opportunity to many graduates. A knowledge of office machines, filing, business arithmetic, business English and letter writing increases the potential value of a graduate in the business world. To attain these goals, the business edu- cation department offers two-year courses in typing, bookkeeping and shorthand, and a one-year course in office practice. Typing is open to all students; bookkeeping to sophomores, juniors and seniors: shorthand to juniors and seniors, and office practice to seniors only. If one wishes to be vocationally profic- ient in typing, shorthand or bookkeeping, it is highly recommended that these sub- jects be studied for two years. For personal use, one year is usually sufficient, and will Eulfill any necessary experience after grad- uation. Mr. James Griggs helps Bev Birge with the Bank Posting Machine while Deedie Reynolds.
