Piedmont High School Lawndale, N« C. cation, when a course of equal value can be obtained in the high school, with the added advantage of the literary course for those who are deficient in this branch. Compare our rates of tuition and board with those of the leading business colleges and you will find ours to be just about half the amount they charge. All students of the Busi¬ ness Department have access to the school library, and are required to join one of the literary societies. In the Bookkeeping Department we teach the famous Budget System of Bookkeeping. This system of book¬ keeping is taught in the leading business colleges of the South. The course consists of instruction in Bookkeep¬ ing and Office Practice, Commercial Arithmetic, Com¬ mercial Law, Business Correspondence and Punctuation, Spelling and Penmanship. We use Gregg Shorthand and Rational Typewriting- in the Shorthand and Typewriting Department. The course consists of instruction in Shorthand, Typewriting, Business Correspondence and Punctuation, Spelling and Penmanship. Gregg Shorthand is by far the easiest to learn, easiest to write and easiest to read of any system of shorthand now in use. In the Fifth International Shorthand Speed Contest, held at Washington, March 26, 1910, writers of Gregg Shorthand won first, second and third places. Mr. Fred H. Gurtler, winner of first place, exceeded the best previous record by 23 words per minute. The winner of second place, Mr. Charles L. Swem, a boy of seventeen, established a world’s record for one of his age and ex¬ perience. The winner of third place, Miss Salome L. Tarr, a girl of seventeen, established a world’s record for accuracy, her notes being 99.4 per cent, perfect. The cost of books, stationery, etc., for the bookkeep¬ ing course is $9.00; for the shorthand and typewriting course $5.00.
