BOOKKEEPING.
Objective teaching Is the moving
principle of modern education the stu

tory experience; zoology by dissection
and study In menageries and collec-
tions; surgery in performing operations
in hospitals; painting and sculpture, by
work and study in art galleries; geome-
try and applied mathematics, by indnc-
tive demonstrations. Our Actual Busi-
ness Training applies this objective and
demorstrative method to the bookkeep-
er's art, and its prominent superiority
to the old deductive text book method,
has supplied the advocates Of the New
Education" with new snd effective
argument.
