mercial Dept. OF High School.

commercial department is shown In
the following manner
The paper which has been used and
then cast to one side is now used for
practice work before trying TO obtain
perfect copy. II the paper has been
written on both sides and at both
ends, the ends are cut off and either
three-fourths or one-half of the paper
Is thus used for the perfect copy.
Students are not requested to write
many perfect copies as it has been
proved that the pupil becomes nerv-
Gus when the paper Is almost com
pleted, and the result is an error OF
two at the close. Therefore, one or
two errors is permissible.
II is obvious then that nervousness,
errors, and the constant mental strain
is eliminated. The method of having
neat papers, rather than the perfect
accuracy, we believe comes in prac-
tice) is preferred, as tho motto at the
present time in the Commercial de-
partment is Conservation.
