STENOGRAPHY - COMMERCE The stenographic studio coaches its patrons in secretarial, steno- graphic, and typing roles, and turns the camera on concrete examples of accuracy, speed, and efficiency. Novices in the commercial studio learn how to balance budgets without juggling accountsg how to sell everything from toothbrushes to A. T. and T. stocky how to advertise said products, and what laws govern the rise and fall of market values. The commercial department photographs a new project on the eco- nomics set. In an effort to elucidate the study of investments, the classes of I. W. Soderberg create an organization which they call Co-operative Investments, Inc. The stockholders are the pupils, and a board of directors and officers is elected. The purchasing committee secures two shares of Chicago Corporation common stock, and so gets first-hand experience in high finance. Those with special aptitudes compete with each other, with teams from other schools, and with their own previous records, in an effort to perfect themselves in typing, stenography, or bookkeeping. Awards are bestowed on those who attain certain superior standards. Out- standing prospects acquire minor roles in office training and practice, and may even work up to small character roles in personal type- writing groups or in bookkeeping. Seeing their names in the head- lines is a great incentive to these novices. Nineteen full-time directors are employed in these studios. O. R. Wessels is head of the stenographic group, and E. W. Brooks prepares the plot for the commercial films. D. D. Adair, M. M. Finstad, A. L. Fry, C. E. Fisk, Iohn Krueger, and Arthur Krause did graduate work at sundry universities last summer.

M., Columbia University SCIENCE More than two thousand novices are enrolled in the second largest department on Proviso's lotfscience. General science lays a founda- tion for later work in botany, ZOOIOQY, Chemistry, and physics. Rehearsals are usually held in the laboratories, where beginners learn the technique employed in peering through a microscope, pre! paring slides at which to peer, and experimenting in many fascinating fields. Test tubes by the hundred, bunsen burners by the score, and rows of bottles exuding questionable aromas when opened, are part of the atmosphere Aspiring biologists dissect frogs, learn to identify birds, emphasize the need for conservation, and build bird-houses. Plants and flowers adorn the conservatory throughout the year. Annual poster contests between the botanists and the zoologists afford friendly rivalry. Voluntary groups of scientists meet after working hours: Freshman Science, Senior Science, Camera, and Radio clubs. Fifteen directors, headed by vq G. Catlin and I. W. Moelk, guide the enthusiasms of the young. Mr, Moelk set a goal for others to aim at, when he broke into print last Iune in the School of Science and Mathematics magaf zine. Alden Greene, already famous for his tricks with liquid air, soared to new heights in the regard of all when it was discovered he was one of four explorers who made a 3UUUfrnile trip up the Nile river several years ago, and knew Martin Iohnson. I. W. Hinds, E. W. Kochenderfer, H. P. McConnell, and H. F. Iohnson did graduate work in various institutions last summer, and Adrian Bullington received his M. S. degree in bacteriology. Miss Winnafred Shepard sailed on the Queen Mary to Europe, where she toured the continent. I7

The boys in the manual arts department are the apprentice technicians on Proviso's lot. They are trained in their lines by eleven directors, the chairman of whom is Carl H. Bergstrom. Technical work in the studios includes building of small pieces of furniture, wood turning, graphic computations, and lettering. The printing classes have a shop in which a great part of the company's work is done, including printing of posters and programs. L. S. Bracewell, of the auto mechanics classes, is the instructor of a new non-credit course added to the Proviso shooting schedule this year, which is known as the drivers' training course. Last summer, M. B. Goodwin and C. H. Bergstrom received their masters' degrees. The coaches on the home economics set try to teach systematic home-making by actual experience. Designing and furnishing minia- ture rooms is one project this year, and a style show, in which the girls model garments they have made, has become an annual event. The five groups of junior and senior Home Economics clubs are a continuation of the advice received on the set, and furnish further opportunities for the girls after school hours. The chairman of the studio is Miss Fae Duvall. Miss Louise Porch and Miss Duvall attended Columbia university last summer, and Miss Lola Pickles received her A. M. degree. Miss Marie Oliver served as a dietician in a Michigan camp. I9
