DOUBLE ENTRY.

From single entry bookkeeping to double
entry is n very big stride Indeed. Asmuch
as single entry booking Is superior To the
notched sticks of the Zulu, SO much SUI
perior Is double entry to itself. AT the same
time there Is nothing very difficult To
learn in the system and n thoughtful per-
son may soon master the elementary rules
of the science.
Double entry bookkeeping Is SO called
because all tho entries in the Cash Book,
journal Sales Book, Bills Receivable
ana Bills Payable are posted twice In
the Ledger.
The entries are first posted to the debit
or credit of their respective accounts and
then again posted To some other account
The entries first posted To the debit side
of the ledger are posted the second time
To the credit side; and those posted to the
credit side are the second time posted TO
the debit side.
This exempliiies the principle OF the
double entry bookkeeping, which Is that
under this system for every credit there
must DO credit and vice versa
Improving this system of double entry
the following purposes VIII be served
To prove the correctness of the ledger
posting, the second posting being a
check on the first.
To show the amount of merchandise
bought or sold during the year or any
other period.
10 SHOW tDe ITOlO lbHS vi tHo saiipus
departments of the business.
To keep separate accounts for operating
expeDses also property and various
kinds of assets belonging TO the capitai
of the business.
Double entry is chiefly used by whole
sale merchantile and manufacturing con-
Germs whose transactions are large.
The question which usually puzzles the
beginner is whether items have TO DO
placed to the debit or credit account
Calm reflection will usually enable any
one to determine this for themselves, and
it is one of tho points upon which some
thinking will necessarily have 10 be done
Some of the more intricate points in this
connection will develop In future articles
Ii is not intended i'm the nrst few les
sons to proceed beyond the limits of
elementary bookkeeping.
By easy Rradations the more difficult
phases will bo subsequently reached, and
tho studenC viii assimilate the iIforma-
tiun with far less effort.
This practical method of pursuing the
subject Will be Appreciated by ali who
sincerely desire 10 become accomplished
bookkeepers, and thus acquire n profess
sion at n trifling cost which may enable
them To- secure "a rcmunerative and re-
sponsible position.
