New Department \ In Bolivia High\ Seniors And Post-Graduates Will Have Opportunity , To Take Commercial , Course This Year The commercial department . which has been organized at Bolivia high school has already enrolled twenty pupils from the senior class and post-graduates. These students have an hour each ' day in the commercial class where j they are learning to use the touch system of typewriting and the fundamentals of shorthand. When these two subjects are learned so I that each student can do thirtyfive words a minute in typewriting and from eighty to one hun- f dred-twenty words in shorthand, 1 the class will take up secretarial ' practice, in which they will have dictation and transcription and 1 1 learn something of office manage- 1 ment which can be applicable in the average business office. The commercial course was in- t troduccd into the Bolivia high 2 school curriculum this year, but f it is hoped that it can be enlarged to meet the standards of ; the larger high schools within a few years. The department is under the direction of Miss Mary , Ellen Gibbs, who has had business ( training in Greensboro senior high f school and at Guilford College. , A class composed of the mem- | bers of the Bolivia school faculty j who wish to learn the touch sys- j tern of typewriting will begin in the near future. j The fees for the course are ten \ dollars each semester. t ME I 1 News paper In Southport, N.
