British Admiralty
Reports Sub Raid
On Italian Fleet
Six-Inch-Gun Cruiser
Hit, Announcement Of
Sea Attack Implies
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. IA torpedo
raid by a British submarine on an
italian naval squadron in the Medi-
terranean was reported yesterday by
the Admiralty, and 1t implied that
6-inch gun cruiser had been hit.
A communique acknowledged,
however, that the Italians explo-
sive counterattack-the menace of
depth bombs, gunfre and aerial
bloWs-prevented observation of the
result.
Sinking of four merchant vessels
and damaging of a conveyed liner
and 4,000-ton italian tanker were
chalked up as definite victories of
British underwater seamen over an
unspecifled period in give-and-take
warfare between the African and
European coasts.
Sighted August "a.
The Italian naval squadron made
up of three 6-inch gun cruisers, six
destroyers and flying boats, was said
to have been sighted at sea on the
afternoon of Sunday, August "a.
An attack was made on the
6-inch gun cruisers" the Admiralty
said The severe counter attack
which followed prevented the COM
manding officer of the submarine
from observing the result of the
explosion which followed the firing
Of his torpedoes."
From this reference to a single
explosion, naval experts inferred
that only one of the 1-ton missiles
had struck its objective.
A large oil-bearing schooner, an
other large schooner deep in the
water with a full cargo, a 4.000-ton
supply ship and "a heavily laden
vessel of some 1000 tons escorted by
trawlers" were listed as sunk by the
British in attacks with torpedoes
and shells.

average of from four to five errors.
In the advanced tipping class
these students are usually planning
to use their tipping in a commercial
way and therefore the course covers
not only maximum speed in produc-
ing letters but also such things as
legal papers and other business
documents so that the student who
does not 60 on to business college
will still have working knowledge
OF various business practices that
they may be asked to perform.
In the shorthand classes this
year there are only eight girls. Each
of these girls is combining the
course with office work for other
teachers in the building. In this
way many of them are gaining
practical experience in how to fol-
low instructions and to exert their
own initiative in preparing them
selves to be better secretaries The
class work consists of taking die
tation from various types of ma
terial so that they may gain speed
and accuracy in transcribing.
The beginning shorthand students
are learning the fundamentals of
how to write shorthand, combined
with different phases of business
living so that those who do not care
to go to business college to gain
more training may have an under
standing of different commercial
aspects.
It is rather interesting to note
that there are no boys in either
of the shorthand classes in the
Kenewick High. However, it would
be a good course for many of the
boys to take who plan to go to
college or. plan to enter an office.
Many times when they are looking
for a job one of the qualifications
is shorthand and a man who can
take shorthand well is always in
demand even more than a girl.
Bookkeeping is another course
which is very popular. In teach
ing bookkeeping one must cover
the whole problem of keeping set
of books.
These books are only in theory
C1lOuSI1, UCCduSc each SlGudC1O1l OF
each business house has it's own
system. The wisest thing that
the teacher can do is to teach
the student the theory behind the
system. At the present time the
class has started on a set which
deals with a business concern and
the student is bookkeeper for two
months transactions. These trans
actions cover writing checks, de-
posting money in the bank, paying
salaries, buying and selling mer-
chanise, and as nearly as possible
reproduces the actual bookkeeping
transactions that most busiesses
do. In bookkeeping it is hardly
expected that the student will go
out and take care of books after
one year of training, however this
is possible and the student has the
skill and ability.
The outside activities of the COM
mercial department cover tipping
and mimeographing the school
paper, making programs, posters,
tipping tests for teachers and many
other things.

COMMERCIAL DEPT.

Interest in Commercial subjects
has greatly increased during the
past few years because Of nation
wide interest in training students
in high school for jobs after grad
uation rather than preparing them
for college.
In this high school the COM
mercial classes are filled and there
is quite a demand for commercial
training.
There are fifty-seven students in
the first year tipping class of whom
twenty-seven are boys. Most of
these students will probably never
use tipping in a commercial way,
therefore tipping one classes strive
to learn how to correctly use type
writer's and to write with as great
accuracy as possible. However,
there are some students who will
be going from high school into
jobs in this community and neigh
boring ones. These students must
also learn to type with speed and
accuracy as well. To study not only
all types of business letters but
also legal papers, manuscripts, tele-
grams, etc, that they might use in
practical experience. The minimum
speed at which a student can pass
at the end of the, year is Is words
minute, the maximum speed is
II words. However, some of the
students are already writing at
