The
building of a usable skill in typewriting and shorthand is
the primary aim of these courses. Skill is not merely the
ability to type or write so many words a minute, but the
ability to type or write material at an appropriate rate and
with acceptable accuracy. The student is thus challenged to
learn as a whole being and not as a one-sided
specialist. From the expression on
Larry Law's face, he must have made a mistake. Richard
Whirley, Karen Johnson and Ralph Walden seem to be a little
happier. Every person should have a basic
understanding of record keeping and personal budgeting. Business Law, a course presenting a thorough study of
case histories, is very valuable to anyone planning to enter
the fields of law or commerce.

Science is for Freshmen, an introduction to the biological

activities. We can't play a game well unless we know the
rules. Physics, which is basic to all science, is
the foundation course for any student contemplating a career
in any science or related field. Nurses, doctors, technicians, and chemists get their
start in chemistry.
