Excerpt from Bookkeeping and Accounting Practise
There is opportunity for advancement awaiting you in a knowledge of bookkeeping and accountancy. This book will give you that knowledge and it will give it to you in the shortest time and with the least effort consistent with thorough training. There is no mystery about bookkeeping as this text presents it. At the same time, do not make the mistake of thinking that it is to be picked up in a few hours and without real application. The most important thing I can say to you is - See It Through. If you will faithfully work out every transaction in the book according to the directions given, there is absolutely no reason why you should not secure an adequate grasp of the subject.
You will notice almost as soon as you begin to study the text that there are three steps by which every new kind of transaction is presented. It is first explained so that you can understand the history and meaning of it; it is then illustrated to show you how it looks; thirdly, it is applied; that is, you are instructed to produce results like the illustration out of the material which is furnished.
Not the least interesting feature of the book is the large number of illustrations, charts, forms, and photographs. One of the most satisfactory methods of learning is through pictures, and these illustrations (there are 138 of them, in addition to two inserts) you will find extremely helpful.
You can make your study of bookkeeping more valuable by keeping a record of your own personal business. Let me urge you to secure a small blank book and to write in it just what money you have received and what you have spent each day, and to continue this practice as long as you live. You may not see just now, but you will some day, that this is one of the best ways in which to begin to save.
Next, arrange to open a savings account at a bank and deposit something in it regularly.
