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. As a result, the public secondary schools are setting Standards that are to dominate secondary commercial instruction. Recognition of the fact that commercial education has a definite place in the public vocational program has resulted in many questions concerning the definition of the field for which commercial education should train, concerning the efficiency of current facilities for commercial education, and concerning the range, methods of organization and presentation of commercial work offered.
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.
I am greatly indebted to the late Frank V. Thompson (Superintendent of Schools, Boston) for his inspiration and help in the preparation of certain parts of the work, I want to thank Dean Henry W. Holmes, Professor David Sneddcn, and Mr. Vierling Kersey for their criticisms. Mr. F. G. Nichols, State Supervisor of Commercial Education, Pennsylvania, has not only been quoted freely but has given helpful suggestions. My greatest indebtedness is to my wife who has aided in many ways in the preparation of the book.
