hired men and women to figure how much it costs to run his business or office and to tell how much his in come is yearly.-Frances Siervogel
 A stenogfapher is often called upon to do some figuring in an office. Think of the stenographer who is always making mistakes. This would delay the business man, for if she were always making mistakes he would be afraid to trust her and would have to look over the accounts himself before they were given out for fear of some mistakes.-Lucille Scott.
 I think that rapid calculation is a very great help to any person who expects to go out in the business world to do work in offices that re- quire accuracy in figures. You can also learn many new ways and short cuts. Work of this kind is to be done by the shortest methods possible. When you take this work do not work for speed at first, but for neat ness and accuracy, then as you go along speed will come gradually Ida Mae Brandenburg.
 Commercial arithmetic has its con- nection with the outside world as any elNAAGeh4 ShhJtCN A4dSb anu is probably of greater use than many of them. Without the knowl- edge of how to use figures one is at a great disadvantage when with some one who knows how.-Joe Heard.
 The arithmetic that am taking is going to help me in the future when I am in business. I will be able to use my head instead of the adding machine. If I am able to think can take a position some time and know that l am right.-Clarence l Gleim.
 ADVANCED TIPPING DEPT.
 By Gertrude Jay | By Our Friends We Must Be Known
 The above is true in advanced typ | ing. In nearly all subjects a stud | ent may make a grade, drop the sub | ject and go out into the world with | out showing how much or how lit tie he knows about it. This is not | true of typing for his living may de- pend upon how much he knows and shows he knows. It is our object, therefore, to prepare the young peo- ! pie to do the best work that it is possible for them to do. Seventy-fi | per cent, the passing grade, will not do in the business world.
