Book heeping-The teacher must use

entry and the Ledger-they are factor
les for waste of time and production of
error. Even in commission business,
the closing of each sale in the "account
sales book should be posted at once TO
the Ledger, to credit of the various ac
counts there named, including all char
ges accounts, commission accounts, &C.,
to balance the accounts, previously
posted to debit Of the purchasing par
ties from the sale books Thus may the
system be simplifed, and the distin-
guishcd ability Of some book keepers, TO
puzzle juries by "scientific entries,' be
dispensed with A mere memoranda
Of transaction, necessarily exhibits the
proper account, debit and credit, to
which it should be placed in Ledger,
without any intervening book.
