V. Advanced Courses in X Business Administration While many graduates of our Preparatory Commercial Course have suc- ceeded in business, it is our belief that these same men would have attained greater success, would have been promoted more rapidly and would have re- ceived larger compensations for their work if they had devoted more time to preparation for their special lines of work. Consequently, in 1930 we start- ed our work in Advanced Business Administration. At the outset, we required a high school diploma for admission to these courses. After two years we changed this plan to permit the admission to these courses of pupils of good ability who had completed three years of high school work. 0ur Advanced Business work divides itself into two main divisions, in one of which the emphasis is kept on Accounting and Finance, while in the other the purpose is to prepare the pupil for general business administration and the courses therefore emphasize Selling and Sales Management, Adver- tising, Banking and Credit, Business Law, etc. The outline of these courses of study will be found on page 35. These courses are designed for those of our own graduates and the graduates of public high schools who desire a thorough preparation for the requirements of business but who prefer to secure this without having to put in the four years required in the Schools of Commerce of state and other uni- versities. Cur course in Accounting is intended to prepare graduates for work as accountants and auditors. It is well known that this type of work brings auditors and accountants in touch with promising business opportunities into which many go from their work as accountants. Thus their training in school leads to employment that makes them self-sustaining and this in turn leads into more lucrative business connections. The training in Advertising, Salesmanship and general Business Admin- istration is designed for those to whom the attention to accuracy and detail essential in an accountant would be irksome but who want to connect them- selves with the promotive side of business. During the first half-year of our course, Accounting is required of all advanced business students. During this period, it is possible to determine into which of the two major divisions of training each pupil should go for his further work. Page F arty-Eight
