THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON. TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 1, 1928 f " WISH! Oil iPPBEBTICESIlIP Commercial Dept. seniors, 1 at SHS to Spend Half Day in Offices Monday morning saw t,be open ing of the annual PPrnt,cesh,Prment work of seniors In the commercial ,1" department of the Salem high - - school, announces Merritt Darts, i head of the department. Which means that, continuing ' until the end of the school year, 5 commercial seniors will spend half f of each day working In a number of the local business offices and - the other half In the class room. It has become a custom of the department to tend forth its sen ; lors that they might gain some actual experience before gradna- - firm davs arrive and they are thrown entirely upon their own re sources in the business world. The young stenographers and bookkeepers work the half day without monetary stimulus. No charge is made for their services. the experience gained being ac counted sufficient reward, says Mr. Davis. vv-The arrangement, which . has been, approved by the leading bnsi- , ness and professional men of the city, has a two-fold purpose: to as sUt the business men tn choosing an office assistant, and to provide practical experience for the stu- - dent. It Is the practice of a number - - of local firms to add one or more n ' of the graduating students to their staffs each spring, among which business houses are the United States National bank, Ladd ft Bash bank, Pa turn's book store and the Morris Optical company. Any Salem business man who would like to have a part time stenographer, bookkeeper or sales person, either In the forenoon or afternoon, should get in touch with Mr. Davis at the high school and arrangement will be made for him to call and select one of the senior apprentices. ' , Mr. Davis frequently hears ex pressions of commendation for his plan, as this time of year is op portune for the students to give considerable assistance to their temporary employers. There will be approximately 65 graduates in the commercial cour- ' ses this year, just tiwec as many . students as were enrolled in the . entire department when Mr. Davis took charge 17 years ago, he te . marked. Now 45 per cent of the high school enrollment is taking 4 courses in the commercial depart 4 .tnent and the course has grown so .: that it keeps nine teachers (one more thajnast year) bust full time to cover the work. The loca? department is rated by Mr. Walker, president of Behnke-Walker business college of Portland as the strongest high school. department ln the north west. Another Indication of the thoroughness of instruction may be seen la the fact that the com mercial department of Oregon state college rates the work done here as equal to junior college work. The course is so complete, that , unless students wish to specialize in particular branch of commerce ' they go into the business ranks right from high school. That the high school commercial graduates -ire successful is attested In a re , cent list of former students com piled by Mr. Davis and his assist ants. It is but a partial list, show ing what students who have grad uated within the last 10 years are doing. With but three exceptions the students on the partial list stepped into jobs with no prepara tion beyond the local courses. The list, to which Mr. Davis points with pride, contains the following: ; T Graduates employed in state house: Leolvn Barnett, Viola Mor iarty.
