BUSINESS EDUCATION PREPARES The story of the metamorphosis from a ‘“‘hunt and pecker’’ to an accomplished typist is a tale of strug- gling, of exasperation, and hopefully of final success. Potential secretaries and the college-bound hover over typewriters in an attempt to master their dexter- ity for future needs. A similar story might be recounted in the shorthand classes. Students earnestly strive to instill into their brains the proper directions for uncooperative fingers manipulating uncooperative pencils to manufacture seemingly legible symbols. Business machines offer students the opportunity to practice for future vocations. All other courses in the business education program prepare and qualify stu- dents for future employment or some phase of their personal life. SONNA K. HOWE University of Idaho B.A., M.S.

COMBINATION EFFECTS TRANSITION Combined English-Social Studies classes on the freshman level effect a smooth transition from the single classroom system of elementary school to the more complex situation existing in our high schools. The social studies curriculum covers the cultures of western Europe, Asia, and Africa from historical to contemporary times. The English course offers seg- ments on study skills, composition, grammar and a unit on Homer’s Odyssey. The combination of English and social studies has not only accomplished its aim of aiding the individual adjustment of freshman students, but has proved to be a most effective way of acquainting students with the interdependence of the two subjects.
