EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF
BOOKKEEPING - SHORTHAND
(Continued from Page 1)
Usually, the commercial student
leaves school with the idea or hope
of plunging immediately into some
field of business, yet, too often
overlooks the fact that he must
“start from th-e bottom and climb
to the top” in his race for success.
The old adage, “The survival oif
the fittest” easily applies here, for
only those who fill the require
ments successfully are the ones
who enjoy unrivaled employment
in times of depression. The prime
requisites for such success are:
Initiative and Thorough Training.
Without one, the other is of no
value, but with successful applica
tion of both. Morality, Efficiency,
Emotional Control, Personality,
and Appreciation are attained.
Strong will-power and steady

application are necessary to ac
quire either requisite. Activity
and practical experience in any
subject are the elements conducive
to its successful mastery. Book
keeping and stenography in their
very nature supply these elements
which are sonjetimes strikingly
lacking in many other subjects.
In the first place, each presents
an attainable goal. The student
feels that in a given time, he will
know how to keep books or will
be able to take dictation. This is
quite different from ordinary
academic subjects. The desire to
“earn a living” is so keen, and the
span of the coimmercial world so
great that this attitude becomes
sufficiently anibibious and aggres
sive to carry him throughout the
course. In stenography the stu
dent is trained in speed and ac
curacy, and failure on either part
is progressively revealed so as to
act as a check and spur indicating
success or failure. The stenog
rapher must develop effective
drills so that dictation is taken
with precision in an accurately
automatic manner. The dictation
must be transcribed with neatness,
in correct spelling, punctuation,
and paragraphing.
In the same manner bookkeeping
gives the student the feeling of
handling money which must be
counted and accounted for with
absolute precision. There is some
thing at stake. It is not like work
ing an example in algebra in the
course of a lesson. It is being on
the job.
In business training there is no
waste of time in trying to learn
much of what you already know,
or to master what you cannot
learn, it is sound, practical doc
trine. Each student may progress
and take on additional tasks in
accordance with his individual
capacity for progresisve mastery
of Accuracy, Speed, and Skill.
The training assimilated from
commercial subjects has unlimited
personal and social values, and
leads to splendid mental habits
and successful mastery of various
other subjects. Young people
must learn haw to live in and help
manage a relative world where
facts change and relationships are
moving forward. A commercial
course helps the students to later
live lives that are personally satis
fying and socially useful.
Therefore, bookkeeping and
stenography along with the other
allied subjects constitute a most
valuable training before or at the
early stages of their education.

MISS BROWN MADE
DEAN OF WOMEN
IMiss Clara M. Brown, professor

gone to her home in Murfreesboro

She has not been well since her
illness in the fall and for that rea
son thought it best to return home
for a while.

en by the Alathenian Literary So
ciety.
At eight o’clock the guests were
directed to the North Hall by the
musio furnished by Selma Davis
at the paino and Jesse Odom,
saxaphone. Everyone joined and
sang the Alathenian songs to bring
out the “Old/’ Society spirit.
After this several interesting
games and contests were enjoyed.
Miss Jay White, president of the
society, was awarded a prize for
guessing the correct number of
peanuts enclosed in a small bot
tle.
But the best thing of -all, money
Someone suggested that everyone
should go to the circus. “The cir
cus? Where?”
The guests were then led to the
college gym where they iwere giv
en free tickets to go through the
circus.
Here were many sights of inter
est. The fattest woman in the
world, fortune telling, the largest
spider, the Honolula monster, that
which you never saw before and
will never see again, the world’s
biggest fight, and many other
sights which are not present at
every circus.
