Book Description

Excerpt from Business Practice Up to Date: With a Commercial Map of the United States In the preparation of a book of this kind the experience of a business man must unite with the skill of the trained educator. The pedagogical skill is the more important, but the professional teacher who takes his "experience" at second hand nearly always gets things out of proportion. Unimportant matters are given as much attention as important matters; antiquated usages arc included with current usages. The perspective is wrong. The author of this book is not only a business man daily engaged in business practice, but he is recognized as an authority in the business world. At the same time the fact that his text on correspondence is one of the most widely used in the schools proves that he understands the needs of class instruction. In this book will be found the best current business practice. seen in the true perspective of actual business, unhampered by traditional errors, yet from the point of view of the beginner. The teaching system, perfected by the aid of several experienced and successful commercial teachers, including Mr. D. D. Mueller of the Mueller School, Cincinnati, and Stephen Dwan of the Seattle High School, one of the most practical educators in the United States, will be found in a separate exercise book, supplied free to schools. This includes all the necessary letterheads, blank forms, etc., with explicit directions for preparing exercises. Mr. Cody's previous book. "How to Do Business by Letter." of which over a hundred thousand copies have been sold, was largely perfected for teaching purposes by the aid of Mr. Dwan. To Mr. II. A. Grammes of Grammes & Sons, Allentown. Pa., the author is indebted for many valuable suggestions from the point of view of the active business man.
