Book Keeping-The teacher mustuse
his discretion. There is much valuable
information in "Crittcnden," and others,
but l hope some practical accountant
will give us a book avoiding the inter-
vening books between those Of original
entry and the Lcdger--thcy are factor
les for waste of time and production Of
error. Even in commission business,
the closing of each sale in the "accoupt
sales book should be posted at once to
the Ledger, to credit Of the various 40
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 book Thus may the
system be simplifed, and the distin-
guished ability Of some book keepers, to
puzzle, juries by "scientifc 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.
