KNOW YOUR BUSINESS DEPARTMENT ls it worthwhile ? Of what does it consist? Who takes it? These are some of the questions to be answered in the following article. First let us see what courses are offered and to what students. The commer- cial course starts in the sophomore year and continues through high school. Be- ginning and advanced typing are offered. It will be useful in everyday life, in letter writing, both social and business correspondenceg in writing papers in school and themes in collegeg in making our contracts and legal docurnents. In short it can be used wherever writing is needed. Then there is always the opportunity open for earning one's bread and butter with such a tool. lt is excellent training in accuracy, in neatness, in concentration, and in arranging material on the page in an artistic, well-balanced manner. In the second year we learn to write the various kinds of letter forms, such as the block style, indented style, and inverted paragraph style. We learn to write such legal papers as leases, deeds, proxies, contracts and agreements of various kinds, and other manuscripts such as min- utes of meetings, annual reports, resolutions, inventories and many others, At the same tirne we keep up our norrnal increase i.n speed and accuracy. Another subject in our department is bookkeeping. This is not designed merely for those students who expect to enter the business world as bookkeepers or office workers. Each student is given training in the fundamental principles of business that are needed by every member of society regardless of his vocation. Some of the practical business procedures in the course are keeping a check book, personal cash records, records for lodges or social organizations, proper checking of in- voices and bills, and a knowledge of the purpose of the principal business papers. By keeping an accurate record of our expenditures, we can more easily make them fit our income and arrange for the accumulation of savings. What we learn about the interpretation of financial statements should enable us to invest our savings in business ventures with a more intelligent knowledge. Many excellent positions are open to those who wish to go further into the subject of bookkeeping and ac- counting. With the advent of the sales tax, the income tax, etc. in our state and national governments, an increasing amount of bookkeeping and clerical help is needed. In addition to this, the Social Security Act requires firms to keep accurate and complete records. For this work, training in bookkeeping is a valuable asset, The efficiency of the shipping clerk, the stock clerk, the salesman, and the stenog- rapher will be greatly increased if they can keep accurate and systematic records of business transactions. Shorthand is another of our favorite subjects. Success in it depends largely upon the interest, It is the highest form of writing, which is itself the greatest invention of man. We are proud to be able to record the language in graceful lines and curves. Skill in the use of shorthand is a possession that has been coveted by the wisest of men and women, for it is not only a practical instrurnent in com- mercial work, but a much-prized and valuable accomplishment and a means of mental culture. The outcomes we strive to attain are to encourage the develop- ment of a comprehensive vocabulary of understanding, teach an efficient handling of pen, notebook, letters, carbon paper, etc., help students to acquire a usable, practical knowledge of the fundarnentals of English and business usage that can be applied instantly to transcription, develop correct posture and health habits, en- courage good personal qualities and a love for stenography, cultivate office stand- ards in conduct and workmanship. This is one of the highest paid office jobs. It can also be used for personal use in taking notes in the classroom, etc. 30
