COMMERCIAL COURSES

Note.—These courses are not free to any teacher. A fee of $5 for
any one course will be charged, or $10 for any two or more courses.

Commerce 205. Bookkeeping.—8:30 C. H. 4. Fee $5.00. Mr. Webb.

This course is outlined to give the student a working knowledge
of the principles and methods of bookkeeping in as short a time as
is consistent with thoroughness. A modern text will be used as a
basis, supplemented by lectures on important points. Inasmuch as
the instruction is partly on the individual plan, those who have had
some of the subject and desire to pursue the work further will be
given due attention.

Commerce 206. Shorthand.—2:30; C. H. 4. Fee $5.00. Mr. Webb.

it has been found by experience to possess the three fundamentals—simplicity,
legibility and speed possibilities. Those who
finish this course should be able, with additional speed practice on
their part, to do office work.

Commerce 207. Typewriting.—Hours to be arranged. C. H. 4.
Fee $5.00. Mr. Webb.
