Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in Book-Keeping by Single and Double Entry: With an Exercise in Business Practice for Use in All Schools in Which the Commercial Branches Are Taught; Especially Designed for Use in District and Graded Schools and for Evening Classes in Business Colleges This book was written in response to numerous requests which the publishers received from teachers in district and graded schools for a text-book on book-keeping, especially adapted to such schools, and constructed on the plan of their Complete Book-keeping. The features of the Complete Book-keeping which have commended that work so strongly to teachers, and which have probably contributed most largely to its extraordinary popularity and introduction, are the minute explanations of every step to be taken by the pupil; the system of illustrative examples employed, enabling the pupil to perform the work himself, thus cultivating self-reliance; the careful and systematic grading of the exer cises; and the script plates with which the sets are illustrated. All of the features described above have been incorporated in this work, and it is believed that the pupils for whom the book is designed will have no difficulty in securing, from the exercises given, complete knowledge of the principles of book-keeping, as well as important aid in the direction of obtaining a good hand-writing, and that practically independent of the teacher. The set on Business Practice will, it is believed, add greatly to the value of the work, and meet the demand for that kind of instruction in the classes for which the book is designed.
