Various courses give general or specialized training in business education to those who desire business or clerical positions, or employ- ment in the fields of selling and bookkeeping. New calculating machines were added to the equipment of the commercial department this year so that it became possible to offer specialized train- ing in machine bookkeeping and calculation. Sales- manship, retail selling, and advertising are offered to those students who are interested in the selling field. A. L. Fry received his M.S. degree from the Uni- versity of Illinois last summer, and l. E. Krueger went to the University of Iowa to earn his M.A. STENOGRAPHY The majority oi Proviso's graduates go directly from the PAGEANT OF YOUTH to the world of busi- ness. The stenographic department offers shorthand, typing, and office practice to fit these students to meet the increasing demands of modern industry. This year the course in office practice was put on a project basis and offered for a full year instead of only one semester. The purchase of new office equipment led to training not previously attempted. Six transcribers, four dictaphones and two edi- phones give training in transcription, which is often prepared on the new dictating machine. Other new equipment obtained by the steno- graphic department this year includes: a ditto ma- chine, which increases the possibilities of duplicat- ing materialp a mimeoscope, and a filing cabinet, which teaches the use of all filing systems.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS The bench, printing, and auto mechanics shops of the industrial arts department are now adequately equipped to meet the needs of Proviso. Further growth in this department will be in the addition of other types of work rather than in the building up of the present shops. Electrical and metal-working shops are already being talked of. A blue-print machine obtained at the end of last year has been of great value to the school. Some of the drawing classes made maps of the shrubbery and landscaping of the grounds, and supplied blue- prints to the maintenance department. Blue-prints of the fieldhouse were prepared on the machine, and other work for the main office. To cut down automobile accidents and deaths due to them, the nation must increase the number of carefully trained drivers to take the place of drivers who learn by the trial-and-error method. Proviso offers a course in driver training, to develop good driving habits in the pupil. This course is carried on in a dual control car, with extra clutch and brake pedals located so that the instructor is always able to stop the car. After learning the general make-up of a car, the rules-of- road courtesy, and the proper signals, the class divides into groups of four for actual driving experi- ence. Twice a week each student drives for fifteen minutes and observes the other beginners for the remainder of an hour. At the end of the semester he has had eight hours of actual practice and twenty-four hours of observation, and is well on the way to becoming a good driver. lohn Compagno joined the faculty of Proviso this year to teach driver training.

HOME ECONOMICS A subject of growing interest in the home eco- nomics classes is the study of consumer goods, which deals with problems of intelligent buying and consumption. In the sewing courses the students learn to judge ready-to-wear garments, as well as fabrics of various quality. Cosmetics, hosiery, shoes, and leather goods are also judged for their value. In the foods classes, the study is carried into the grades of meats, canned goods, milk, and eggs. Learning to tell the freshness of fruit and vegetables is another important part of the course. The foods classes gave several luncheons for principals of suburban schools, and one for the school board during the year. Students of home management study labor-saving devices, electrical appliances, and household fur' nishings. The number of boys enrolled in the home subjects is rapidly increasing, and it is possible that there may be a special boys' cooking class next year. CLERICAL STAFF S Behind the scenes of the PAGEANT are the cleri- cal staffs of the main office and the business office. These staffs keep things running smoothly in the PAGEANT OF YOUTH by performing many imporf tant duties. The main office is the place where the daily and special bulletins are typed, the telephone switch- board is operated, materials are secured, and records of grades and credits are kept. In the business office, supplies and equipment are ordered, payrolls are prepared, and textbooks are rented or sold to the students. This office also keeps record: of the school board meetings. Miss Evelyn Kroeger joined the staff of the main office during the year, taking the place of Miss Eayora lunget as a typist. Miss Violet Kmet was added to the business office staff, and Miss Char lotte Kuehl replaced Miss Pauline Wagner in the boys' counselor office. Miss Mary Ellen Sherbert has done part-time Work.
