The lack of knowledge displayed by stenographers of many commercial terms in common use was referred to at a meeting of the Hamilton Technical School Board of Managers recently. A member mentioned that the average girl after passing through a commercial school seemed strangely, unfamiliar with many technical commercial terms when taking down specifications in shorthand. The question was asked whether it would not be possible to make pupils familiar with commercial terms. Tt was stated tb~t text hooVs containing these terms would be procured for use in the school.
