COMMERCIAL DE PARTMENT INTERESTS NTEREST in commercial subjects has increased greatly in the last year. The growth of the interest was noticed decidedly in the bookkeeping and typing classes. The bookkeeping classes had to be divided into three sections, and it was also necessary to employ three teachers instead of two to teach bookkeeping. The students of the classes learned to operate the adding and calculating ma- chines to help keep their books straight. Every .typewriter was occupied in each typing period. The only possible chance for a last year's student to use a typewriter was for him to know when another student was absent and use his. In the typing courses it was also urged that the students learn how to set up and take down the multigraph machine, and to cut stencils and run them through the mimeograph machine. Experience in the business world was given Stenog. II girls during Easter vacation week through the courtesy of the Soroptimist Club and the merchants. Each girl was assigned to a store or firm to learn the manner in which the busi- ness was conducted. Those who took salesmanship found the subject of great help. The two year commercial course is divided into two classes, accounting and secretarial. In the accounting course only one year of typing is offered, and in the secretarial course only one year of bookeeping is offered. The remainder of the subjects taken in both courses are much the same. Those interested in taking a two-year commercial course are offered the following subjects to choose from: English I and II, typing I and II, book- l-.eeping I and II. citizenship, business economics, commercial law, salesmanship, commercial arithmetic, stenography I and II, and elements of business. The two-year commercial graduates for 1931 are: Helen Cordoza, Ada Chadwell, Adele Dennig, Gilberta De Wald, Emma Enemoto, Ruby Gann, Bessie Gugale, Takiki Ikeda, Katherine Marinovich, Grace Matiasevich, Mabel Souza, Florence Speegle, Anna Stetta, Hisako Sugai, Fusako Tanaka, Zella Mae Winter, and Lucille Zar, ADVANTAGES OF FOUR-YEAR COURSE While the two-year commercials no doubt receive a great deal of good out of their two years' enrollment in that course, being able in most cases to secure positions in the business activities of the town: yet they would be very much better prepared to participate in business had they enrolled for four years. The reason for this should be obvious. With the short course they enter at once into the rather exacting studies of business methods and procedure, while in the regu- lar four-years' course, these subjects are deferred until the third and fourth years of the high school course, thus giving the pupils an advantage of taking up these business problems after two years of broadening and maturing the mind. Another reason for taking the four-year course is that the completion of the two-year course almost invariably finds the pupil still within the compul- sory educational limit thereby necessitating his attendance in school for a con- siderable period of time. Merchants, as a rule, do not like to employ help that is subject to the part-time educational laws, and so generally pass them up in favor of someone who is past sixteen years of age. A still further objection is that employers feel that a boy or girl under sixteen is too young to take care of the responsibility demanded by business and so refrain from employing them. It should be remembered that as the years go by business becomes more specialized and exacting in its demands, to meet competition and to provide high-class service. For that reason the more training the pupil is able to secure the better will he be able to do his share of work in the business world. --HELEN JAMES, Senior. I 9 9 0 3 . I W Page Twenty-three
