Excerpt from The Teaching of English in Commercial Courses Whatever may be the relative value of composition and literature in the final analysis, there is no doubt that the immediate needs of the commercial pupil demand the most thorough attention to composition. At the outset the teacher should keep in mind that English is English. Business English is nothing but talking and writing in good English about business problems. What is ungrammatical or incorrect for other purposes is like wise ungrammatical or incorrect for business. The great difference between the English of a college preparatory or general course and that of a commercial course lies in the content, which in the latter is drawn almost entirely from the enterprises and operations which are associated with business. Furthermore, emphasis should be laid upon English as a means rather than as an end in itself. The practical, rather than the artistic, is the goal.

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.

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.
