ACCOUNTANTS GET
HIGHEST PAY NOW

The conservative Journal Of Ac-
countancy" said editOrially two
months ago:
AS a matter of fact. the account
ing profession is probably the best
paid in the world. -. II there
be a profession in which the average
compensation is higher, it is not
known to us.
"A few years ago IT would have
been a difficult matter to find in
the United States a dozen accountants
whose total net income from the
practice of their profession would
average $4,000 per annum. Today
we believe there is a score of men
whose net incomes range from $780,
600 per annum upward.
Big Need for Accountants.
Taking into consideration all the
factors which we have mentioned
and also the prevailing salaries for
qualified accountants in accounting
offices, il appears that the public ac-
coUntant pTactiCing on his own ac-
count or in the employ of another ac-
countant earns an annual income
somewhat in excess of SO, 200
There is need for accountants.
There is ample compensation for ac-
countants. There is no prospect that
the supply VIII ONtEldhe the uGHduu
within the lifetime Of even the young
est of US.
In public accounting. in cost ac-
counting and in Government account
ing there are fields THAI have been
made publicly known. other at
tractive fields not so we'll known per-
haps are accounting positions in mer-
camille fields, IN teaching, in ef-
ficienCy work.
So when orders are given Find me
an accountant" the task is not always
easy.
Splendid Opportunity.
This, however. means a splendid
opportunity for the young man who
Will give himself "A thorough account
ing training. Bookkeepers and office
men who have devoted spare time to
accounting study have in numerous
