Excerpt from The English of Commerce

It is by no means to be implied that the order of presentation is the only order of study. In general, the first four chapters belong in the early terms of a business course, chapters five, six, seven, and eight in the later terms. Though the process of education is as yet neither an exact science nor a finished art, it has nevertheless pro gressed sufficiently to make the rigid prescription of certain subject matter for certain terms or years a very dangerous procedure. Age and aptitude of pupils and aim and arrangement of courses would make hard and fast rules in this matter undesirable, were they possible. The teaching point is the compass. Chapters in the book and sections in the chapters must be selected as and when needed. While the development has been kept continuous from beginning to end, the division of subject matter is everywhere sufficiently detached to render adjustment to varying classroom needs easy and natural.
