STENOGRAPHY.

MISS MEADER.

This department is intended to prepare students for the work of amanuenses. The business world no longer has use for the stenographer who half knows his work, but is demanding accurate and intelligent workers. Appreciating this fact, much stress is placed upon a thorough knowledge of the principles governing the system of stenography in use. With the principles half learned, no student can be a successful stenographer.

The typewriting room is well equipped with machines to accommodate ninety students daily. The standard machines, Remington and Smith-Premier, are used. Touch typewriting is given the prominence it justly merits.
