Question book of book-keeping containing all the questions and problems in the subject given at th first fifteen New York examinantions for state certificates with full answers, solutions, and entries

The twenty-one numbers already published of the Dime Series of Question Books have led to inquiries for similar books in many other subjects, but especially in Book-Keeping. It seems to be widely felt that its general principles and methods should be known to pupils in our common schools without the formality of a Commercial Course, and that a little manual like this may give to a well-grounded arithmetic class just about the instruction and familiarity with forms required for practical purposes. There is also a special demand for such a book to aid teachers in preparing for examinations for licenses, the higher grades of which now call for questions in this branch. To ensure completeness, all the questions in bookkeeping given at the first fifteen New York examinations for State Certificates have been inserted and fully answered. A comparison with the Civil Service examinations of the United States and of New York State shows that all important points are here sufficiently treated to cover any questions likely to be given. The Key is on pages 72, 78. In regard to forms of entries book keepers are not agreed, but those here given correspond with what seems to be the most usual practice. The principles are of course the same in all, but each book keeper may follow bis own notions as to details. The forms here given would be anywhere accepted as correct, and usually, I believe, as the best. I have consulted all the leading works on the subject, but have not followed any one of them closely enough to make special acknowledgment necessary. Language : en
