To suit the condition that exist in the schoolroom and to permit flexibility, the work is divided into four sets, each of which is separate and distinct. While it is necessary to complete the four sets in order that the student may have a thoro knowledge of the subject, yet he may discontinue at the end of any one set with his knowledge being complete as far as he has advanced. The first set teaches the student the fundamental principles of bookkeeping and accounting. The second set teaches the student the principles of partnership bookkeeping, the advantages of special rul- ing in the cash book, the carbon copy sales book, etc. The third set teaches the principles of corporation bookkeeping and the special accounts required in a cor- poration set of books. The fourth set teaches the principles of cost account- ing. as practically applied in modern business, a subject that has never before been presented to the student of bookkeeping and accounting. The transactions are so arranged that the student de- votes practically all his time to the cost feature, which enables him to obtain a thoro understanding of the prin- ciples in a reasonably short time. The student who has worked out these sets need not hesitate to accept a posi- tion in any office.
