B0ok heeplng-The teacher must use
his discretion. There is much valuable
information in "Crittenden, J." and others
but l hope some practical accountant
will give us book avoiding the inter
vening books between those of origina
entry and the Ledger-they are factor
les for waste of time and production Of
error. Even in a commission business
the closing of each sale in the account
sales book should be posted at once tt
the Ledger, to credit of the various ac.
counts there named, including all char.
ges accounts, commission accounts, sc.
to balance the accounts, previously
posted to debit of the purchasing par
ties from the sale book. Thus may the
system be simplifed, and the distin
guished ability of some book keepers, t
puzzle juries by scientific entries,' bt
dispensed with. A mere memoranda
of transaction, necessarily exhibits thu
proper account, debit and credit, tt
which it should be placed in Ledger
without any intervening book.
