The commercial students are con-
tinuing to strive for speed and
accuracy in tipping. The set goal
is to gain two words per week.
in order to have the average
tipping speed for first-year stu
dents.
We have had the experience of
learning to type such designs as:
butterflies. birds. leaves, teapots,
camels, reindeer, the bust of
George Washington and to design
Mickey Mouse. To gain rhythm
and control, we type by the mu-
steal records designed for tipping
students.
In the shorthand class, we are
just beginning to learn to write.
The first semester was devoted
to building vocabulary and learn
ing to read.
Two of the divisions of the 9th
grade, t9-l and go have COM
pleted semester OF tipping. Most
of the students were averaging

and % Democrats.
Senate leaders predict swift
approval of the compromise bill
there.
The recommital motionyoffered
by Representative Cooper. Of
Tennessee, top-ranking Demo-
crat on the Ways and Means
Committee, would have in
structed House conferees to
agree with Senate's original pro-
vision dealing with taxation Of

have allowed tax exemption on
the first $50 Of income which
stockholders receive from divi-
dends.
The Senate House conferees
recommended the $50 exemption
and also would permit taxpayers

naming dividends.
