porating committee, composed of

The program Thursday evening
was not only thoroughly enjoyable,
but intensely instructive. The first
speaker was c. l. Michael, principal
of the commercial department of the
Phoenix high school. who gave a brief
history of the department since 1908
when he took charge as the only
teacher and with an equipment of
eight typewriters, TO the present
time when the department has eight
teachers and leo machines in opera
ton. To prove progress. he cited the
record: In 1911 five students typed
Al words a minute for five minutes,
with one off for errors; in 1919,
Tommy Woodman made 81 words a
minute, taking off 10 for errors, and
the entire class averaged ~ words
a minute. Mr.. Michael rather star
tied his audience when he said that
if every typist in Arizona would add
one word a minute to his speed, 1t
would mean over 100000 to the state.
