Z who betakes himself to the healing art without a previous
knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology, and the Surveyor who
attempts to compute areas and determine boundaries without
a. knowledge of Trigonometry, are on a par with the merely
practical book-keeper. A rational art of book-keeping must be
based upon a knowledge of the principles which make book-

Phonography and Type-writing are included in this Depart-

liberative bodies, in recording evidence given in court, and in
the correspondence of business firms, is one of the most marked
characteristics ofthe day, The eifectiveness of Phonography
has been largely increased by the type writer, which greatly
lessens the labor of transcribing the short-hand notes of the re-
porter. For these indispensable auxilaries aof good commercial
education, this Department is prepared to provide every facility
. required.
The numerous demands for Telegraph Operators has ren-
dered it necessary that Telegraphy should be added to this de-
partment, and accordingly it has been well equipped with all
modern telegraph instruments of the best make. The students
are drilled in handling telegraph business, both railroad and
commercial. We have all the standard forms in use on all the
best railroads, and the students’ daily practice is such as to
familiarize them with all the duties of a telegraph operator or
agent. A ‘ .
This Department is also provided with a main line ofnearly
two miles in length, over which considerable practical work is
I done. This Department has every facility necessary for giving
, a thorough and practical training.
