Description
Excerpt from Meaning and Practice of Commercial Education
In dealing with the problems which the book presents we must begin where we are. Gradual and rational changes in our higher and secondary education and in the education supplementary to elementary education, this is not revolutionary, - and this is the suggestion of the book. It has sometimes been charged against the author that he aims to commercialize the whole school program. If this is understood as set forth in the fol lowing pages, he accepts the charge.
Commercialism has been much bandied about, and not a little misunderstood. Commercial methods are obvious in the work of some who decry commercialism; on the other hand, many business men are altruistic in the best sense. The kind of education urged in this book, it is believed, will teach men the meaning of business and raise commerce above narrow commercialism. Commerce we must have.
