Excerpt from English for Business, as Applied in Commercial, Technical, and Other Secondary Schools This composition text is designed to meet the needs of all high schools that aim to prepare pupils for the business of life. In using the title English for Business, the author wishes to suggest breadth rather than limitation of purpose. About eighty-five per cent of the pupils in our high schools never go to college but, upon graduation, engage in some business or professional pursuit. This is especially true of boys. Another large group of pupils, in both classical and vocational high schools, find it necessary to work in stores, offices, and shops in free time in order to support themselves while attending school. Because of these facts, the author has aimed to create a book which will supply both of these groups with the practical training necessary for such immediate life purposes. The ultimate aim of every high school course in English composition is to train pupils to speak and write with clearness, accuracy, and directness upon subjects of interest which are within their grasp. With this conviction in mind, the author has included in this text such exercises as are suited to the knowledge and experience of pupils of the high school age. Many of these exercises have been suggested by pupils as a result of their activities in business or technical occupations.

Excerpt from English in Business: For Students in Commercial and General Secondary Schools This book is for boys and girls who are going out into active life rather than for those who go on to college. It will meet the needs of those commercial high schools that train ex elusively for a business career. It will also meet the needs of the general high schools with commercial departments or elective courses in business, for it contains the fundamentals of good writing for any purpose whatever. It should prove useful in all those continuation and corporation schools that give training to boys and girls who have gone to work before securing a high school diploma. 'in short, it is designed to meet the needs of all secondary schools that pursue the larger aims of business education. Business men are no longer content with boys and girls who have been prepared merely as stenographers and bookkeepers. Commercial courses, to be sure, endeavor to train young people to do one thing, or a few related things, with skill and accuracy. But they also endeavor to furnish wide knowledge of the whole business field, so that the pupil may pass easily from his first position into those business activities which his or her peculiar abilities will make most congenial.

Excerpt from Business English This work grew out of teaching English to college men who were beginning their studies in Engineering. It seemed for various reasons desirable to give such students - along with their work in pure literature and technical English - some in struction in English as adapted to buying and selling, advertis ing and correspondence. There seemed however to be no text-book quite available for such a purpose. A purely elementary text-book, ignoring all high-school English and some of the grammar-school instruo tion, would not do. Nor could the need be supplied by some more advanced book devoted to the principles of correspond ence. What was needed was a book which took into considera tion the best standards and scholarship of college teaching, and applied the established principles of composition to the special problems of business, with due reference to the vocabularies of commerce and commercial law. From this point of view, then, the text of the book was writ ten. When finished, much of it was seen to be Within the grasp of younger students. It was then determined to simplify the text a little further, and to construct exercises which would make the book serviceable in the third and fourth year of tech nical and commercial high schools, in the first year of technical colleges, in business colleges, and in correspondence work. The manner in which this adjustment has been made may be seen at a glance in the exercises under Argument (p.
