Thirty students are studying typewritingg ten, shorthand, and sixteen, bookkeeping: eight boys are studying general business. The aim of the department is two-fold: First, to give to those students who expect to go to college a knowledge of shorthand and type- writing, sufficient for their needs while in college. Second, to give stu- dents who do not expect to go to college as thorough a knowledge of business as our equipment will permit.
