Commercial Education In Public Secondary Schools Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Commercial Education in Public Secondary Schools This book deals with some important contemporary problems of commercial education in secondary schools, considered from the point of View of the investi gator, teacher, and administrative officer, and aims at con structive proposais based on the actual needs of business as it is. These constructive proposals are the outcome of a critical examination of contemporary commercial education in secondary schools, together with certain investigations in the field of business in several cities in the United States, and of earlier studies by the author of commercial education in Europe. The volume also contains, in Chapter VI, Mr. Thompson's report on commercial education in the high schools of the city of New York, constituting a part of my report submitted to the Committee on School Inquiry of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in 1912. Although, as Mr. Thompson says in his Preface, there is considerable literature on commercial education, it is also true that there is much uncertainty and not a little actual misconception concerning the aims, scope, and methods of education for commercial life in the minds of business men and teachers alike - confusion and misconceptions that in terfere with the formulation of just aims, and prevent profitable endeavor in preparing our young people for busi ness careers.

Excerpt from Commercial Education in Secondary Schools At the present time, public secondary commercial education, in response to public desire, is rapidly adjusting its work to meet the changing needs of our social and economic Systems.

It is the purpose of this book to analyze such questions as the foregoing, to define commercial education, and to establish fundamental principles by which further progress should be guided.

Excerpt from The Commercial Program of Studies for High Schools Throughout the entire civilized world records and correspondence are coexistent with commercial transactions and are used in various ways other than commercial. In fact, the time has arrived when instruction in keeping simple accounts, the general principles of business and the use of the typewriter should be a part of the education of every boy and girl, and comparatively few there are who enter commercial life who, at some point in their career, will not find shorthand useful in their progress, if not, indeed, all their lives. The use of these subjects is universal; instruction in them should be equally universal. Place of Subjects in Curriculum Four Year - High School General Subjects The place of general subjects in the commercial program of studies will be determined by their place in other programs of the school. General Commercial Subjects In some schools commercial geography is given in the second year and in others in the first year. It is the writer's opinion that this subject should be broken up into two courses, giving elementary economic geography in the first year and transportation and markets in the second year. A large amount of laboratory work should be given in these courses. Commercial arithmetic is usually given in the first or second year. It is well also to give some advance commercial arithmetic and review in the senior year. Commercial law may be given profitably either in the junior or senior year, likewise business organization and administration, and credits and collections. However, it is preferable to have commercial law precede and credits and collections. Technical Commercial Subjects Typewriting may be offered as early as the seventh year, and at least one year of it should be required of all commercial students. If its is begun in the seventh year, more than one year of typewriting should be required. In the secretarial course typewriting should be taken each year that shorthand is studied. The year in which shorthand is introduced will depend upon the purposes to be served and local conditions. In some schools it is begun in the ninth year, in other tenth, and in still others in the eleventh year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
