BUSINESS Business Education plays a very essential role in preparing young people for the growing demands of the business world. In contributing towards a better understanding of this everyday business world, our commercial department provides varied pro- grams OT typing, stenograpny, secretarial practice, bookkeeping, general business, and business law. There are three main classifications available for students enrolled in the business curriculum: stenographic, clerical, and general business. In order to be classified as stenographic, the student must successfully complete the program which includes two years of shorthand. Typing I, ll, and Ill, bookkeeping IV and business law are required for classification in the clerical pro- gram.

Instruction for grade seven includes world his- tory and geography. ln eighth grade American history up to the Reconstruction and geography is taught by qualified teachers. Civics and Pennsylvania history are taken for a semester each in grade nine. ln the sophomore year, world cultures and commercial geography are presented. American history from the Recon- struction is required of all pupils in the eleventh grade. Students in the senior year receive problems of democracy and economics for half a semester each. This department has effectively developed the students' critical thinking through twelve years of study. Knowledge in all world affairs is broadened and pupils learn to work independent- ly. The most important objective is developing an appreciation for mutual understanding and co- operation among the people of the world. New
