Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Commerce To the tools of the teacher in economics Mr. Clow now adds this book on Commerce. It must be tested, like every new tool, by actual use. That it has not been constructed Without some careful experiment ing is shown by What the author says of its trial in the school With Which he is connected and thus it rests already on a considerable experience. But it is also constructed on sound principles. Two funda mental principles of teaching - that the pupil shall first observe and understand the things With Which he is brought in contact by familiar experience, and shall proceed thence to the study of things unfamil iar; and that he shall be trained to'observe, to do, and to think for himself - these Mr. C10w has had steadily in mind. Hence his book is not so much a text-book as a manual of directions, an aid and a guide for teachers and pupils. As such it assumes that the instruction Will be given by a capable teacher, well trained in this particular branch of knowledge; and it calls for careful watching and judicious guidance of pupils. Rightly used, it may be expected to prove stimulating and profitable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
