Practical Book-Keeping, Containing Thorough Instruction in Journalizing, Posting, and Closing …

In presenting this work to the public, our only apology is the public demand for a, work on Double Entry Book-K eeping, so simplified that it can be taught by any teacher competent to teach a common school. There is no good reason why Book-K eeping should not be taught in our common schools, as one of the most important and useful branches of education. As a mathematical drill for the student, it is equal to Algebra orG eometry, and as for its utility, no education is complete without it. All the works on Book-K eeping heretofore published, fail to impart to the student a knowledge of Journalizing. Journalizing is the Alphabet of A ccounts, and must be thoroughly learned before satisfactory progress can be made in this science. There is an increasing demand on the part of the public, to have Double Entry Book-K eeping taught as one of the principal branches in our common schools. The attempts made heretofore have not been rewarded with satisfactory results, owing to the want of a text book that would teach the first principles. The author has made this work as progressive as possible, and the language used in giving rules for Journalizing, Posting, and Closing, is as plain and simple as theE nglish language will permit. The practical forms for Wholesaling andR etailing are given, and it is believed that when the student understands those, he could adopt others, as occasion requires. Single Entry is not introduced, for the reason that if the student understands Double Entry, he knows all aboutS ingle Entry.
