Mr. May Mr. Fricker COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The commercial department aims to fulfill three obligations to the students of any school. Business houses are demanding that the schools supply them with competent clerks, stenographers, and salespeople. tOur regular commercial courses prepare for this first group.l A large percentage of our population must, of necessity, know the fundamentals of busi- ness. More people year after year are making investments, keeping checking accounts, build- ing, and buying property. For this second group these fundamentals may be learned in junior business training, bookkeeping, business arithmetic, commercial law, and salesmanship. Most commercial subjects also offer the same Mr, Barr Mr. Engen Mr. Aplin Miss Helmer Miss Snow Miss Noltner development of character traits which is found in other courses. Accuracy and reasoning ability are certainly improved by taking busi- ness arithmetic and bookkeeping. Love for reading and research may be developed in our geography and salesmanship classes. In this third group of students we have many hundreds who elect commercial courses to sup- plement their regularly required subjects. Many take one or two years of typewriting in their junior or senior years. Others take short- hand and typewriting, which they will use later in college and business. Most colleges and universities give credit for two years of bookkeeping, two years of short- hand and typing, one year of geography, and one half unit each of commercial law and sales- manship. It is therefore possible to offer at least four units in this department for college entrance. Mr. Weidman Mr. Carlson
