Students Geared The primary goal of the Business Department is to prepare students for entry level occupations in the busi- ness world and, also, to provide students with a basic business background for further training in secretarial and or other business areas. Bookkeeping I gives the student the basic theory and understanding of accounting. Typing I gives the student the opportunity to learn the basic fundamentals of typewriting. Typing II provides an opportunity for students to apply the basic knowledge gained in Typing I to advanced typing problems. The girls in Office Practice concen- trate on producing mailable copies of all their work. Also, a large amount of ditto typing is done for teachers. General Business covers many areas of basic business principles that are important to all students. Areas taught are: basic fundamentals of banking, buying var- ious types of insurance, computing interest on loans and notes. Business Law was available to South Adams students for the first time this year. The primary goal was to give students an insight into the basic fundamentals of business law.
