In the various processes of this course
the student will make out business pa
pers, such as notes, drafts, checks. certi-
fed checks, certificates of deposit, de-
posit tickets, mortgages, leases, con-
tracts, protest notices, notorial acknowl-

At stated intervals durirg this course,
the student will have work in actnai
business practice, there being several
''sets" of bookkeeping in this line OF
work. These introduce the student to
the Office work of the retailer, wholesaler,
iobber and banker. Many people get the
idea that the books of bank must OF {
necessity be very difficult to keep sccur-
ately and that there INSET be. vast
amount of labor connected Herewith.
This, however, is not true. 1n fact the
books OF a banking house are simpler.
more systematic, and yet less laborious
than those of any other business. The
/ student uses in his banking work. in this
school, the most modern, up-to'date
bank books, such as are found in the
heat banks of our cities. When stu
dent has completed this course of work
he is ready and capable to keep the
books, accurately, of any business house
in America, and that means the world.
While pursuing this, as well az the
other two courses. the student devotes
. one hour each day to systematic training
in rapid business writing. There may
be found in the Office of the Principal,
/, several hundred specimens of the stu
dents penmanship taken last year,
!, large Der cent OF which are simply tine.
. This work is supplemented at frequent
intervals by discussions and reviews in
the science of accounts and laws OF busi-
ness. 1t is the purpose of Prinelpal Ha-
