Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Accountancy and Business Management, Vol. 1
This book is intended for use in commercial courses in all types Of schools teaching business subjects to beginners. It will prove to be effective and entirely satisfactory both in the private school and in the high school because Of the recogni tion which is more and more being given to the greater efficiency of the class method of teaching. Its material and teaching plan are adapted to the require ments of all students taking up the subject for the first time, regardless Of whether it is their purpose to become bookkeepers, to engage in business for themselves, or to pursue advanced courses in accounting and business administration leading to professional degrees. It emphasizes principles and requires what the author believes to be the minimum amount of practice work necessary to provide the training which the student must secure to make him vocationally efficient in his knowledge of the subject, no matter whether he may desire to follow the. Occupation of bookkeeper, business manager, or accountant.
Unless the principle is conceded that the minimum aim of the bookkeeping course is to qualify young people to start a business career, there can be no justification whatever for teaching utilitarian subjects, and the remarkable growth and development of commercial courses in public and private schools, which has been. The outstanding feature Of educational progress in recent years, must be pronounced a serious blunder. In face Of the insistent and ever-increasing demand for education which fits for commerce and industry, and the esteem in which such practical education is held by educators and the general public, such a conclusion cannot be maintained successfully.
