They explained that this could be done through example, loyalty to the school, and other good works.

Greater Love for the Faith From morning until evening the office Sisters diligently performed all the clerical duties necessary for the smooth running of the Academy. Among these duties were the answering of the tele- phone and doorbell and the typ- ing of numerous forms and re- ports. By means of their friendly aid the office was frequently transformed into an efficient and bustling information bureau. Training the girls to support themselves through a mastery of office practices was the aim of the commercial teachers. A basic knowledge of typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and calculating was given to the girls. To offer them the experience of working in an office, the teachers often set up mock office conditions. Giving a demonstration on the new switchboard that has become part of the office equipment is Sister Mary Rebecca as Sister Mary Brigid, Sister Mary Bernice, and Sister Mary Ernestine watch. The business teachers: Sister Mary Agnes Clare, Sister Mary Thaddeus, and Sister Albert Marie listen attentively as Sister Mary Lourdette points out a new technique in the comptometry manual.
