This course is designed to give a fundamental working knowledge of bookkeeping
methods and practice that will fit students for positions as bookkeepers or commercial
teachers in secondary or private schools. Furthermore, the knowledge gained
through this course will ever be a great asset in both private and business life, whatever
the student's calling.

Students will master the principles of accounts, will learn to journalize, post and
take a trial balance. They will be taught to open and keep a purchase book, sales
book and cash book. The preparation of balance sheets, profit and loss statements,
and the methods of closing the ledger will be thoroughly explained. Text: To be
announced.

Commerce 306. Shorthand.—Both Terms. 2:30; Jefferson Hall. Fee
$5.00. Mr. Webb.

This course is offered to meet the wishes of those who have had little or no experience
in the study of shorthand. The Manual of Gregg Shorthand from Lesson 1
to Lesson 10 is covered. Lectures thoroughly explain the principles of the system
and their application in actual work. Emphasis is placed upon the importance of
complete mastery of the fundamentals contained in these lessons, and, therefore,
much drill on the text-book exercises and well-selected supplementary material is
given.

Commerce 307. Shorthand.—Both Terms. 10:30; Jefferson Hall.
Fee $5.00. Mr. Webb.

This course begins with Lesson 11 and finishes the Gregg Shorthand Manual. It
logically follows the introductory course of ten lessons given the first term. In addition
to the routine study of principles, the student is sufficiently advanced to take
considerable dictation and thus gain skill and facility in writing. After completing
this course the student will be able to do the necessary practice for speed without
the aid of an instructor, if it should be impossible to continue the work in school.

Commerce 308. Touch Typewriting.—Both Terms. Hours to be arranged.
Peabody Hall. Mr. Loveland.

Both beginning and advanced students may be accommodated in this class.

Beginning students master the scientific "touch system" of operating the machine.
Accuracy rather than speed is emphasized. Special exercises in centering, simple
tabulation, making carbon copies, addressing and card writing are given.

Advanced students are given speed exercises, difficult tabulating, report writing,
transcription, legal form writing, setting up statements and other work of advanced
character.

This course should be of interest to those desiring to prepare as typists, secretaries
and commercial teachers. Text: To be announced.

Commerce 309. Commercial Mathematics.—First Term. 9:30; Peabody
Hall. Fee $5.00. Mr. Loveland.

A course in the mathematics of business. Aliquot parts, bills, short methods, percentage,
interest, discount, partial payments, equation of accounts, cash balances, etc.

This course is particularly recommended in combination with Commerce 305,
