THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT AMAZES HIM. WILLIAM SHEAFFER LAURA BOLYARD LUCY DE WOLFE IVA DUDEN Camera-man Peppy Tiny Harney HOWARD JORDAN BEATRICE LEISK RAYMOND MARY SHIELDS Man of Ayfair: Virtuoso NEUBAUER Worker Handsome I poke my head through the double doors of room 210 and End Mr. Shaeffer still teaching here. When I look around the room, all I see is some sort of machines sitting on the desks. I immediately begin to Wonder what these are. When told that these machines arecalled comptometers and are used for adding, multiplying, divid- ing and just everything, I am shocked and begin to wonder why math teachers are needed any more when all this work can be done on a machine. I then start searching for all the commercial rooms and Hnd girls and boys busily and rapidly pounding out Words on other machines. This one is the typewriter. Scurrying from room to room I find girls taking dictation, students doing bookkeeping, and learning sales- manship. I have never seen so many Working at one time. I do declare this com- mercial department is growing and spreading like a mushroom. 28
