Book Kecping-Thc teacher must use
his discretion. There is much valuable
information in "Crittenden," and others,
but | hope some practical accountant
will give us book avoiding the inter-
yening books between those of original
entry and the Lcdgcr-thcy are factor
les for waste of time and production Of
error. Even in commission businessy
the closing of each sale in the "account
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 simpli6ed, and the distin-
guished ability of some book keepers, to
puzzle juries by scientific entries, be
dispensed with. A mere memoranda
| Of transaction, necessarily exhibits the
lproper account, debit, and credit, to
which it should be placed in Ledger,
| without any intervening book.
