The newness of the subject has precluded an adequate definition of essentials, or the selection of materials and the working out of methods of instruction. The English of the academic course, and English as a preparation for college entrance, are well established; readings have been standardized in the traditional fields, and teachers are confused by the wealth of material from which to choose. Commercial classes, on the contrary, still suffer from lack of agreement as to what business English means, and how the ends of instruction in this subject can best be realized. Up to this time English training for commercial classes has been of two kinds: the first, familiarly called "business English," includes spelling, commercial correspondence, advertising, and the preparation of business documents; the second is a general training in English not dissimilar to that given to other students. It is not necessary to stress the point that commercial classes should be taught to spell correctly the words commonly used in business, and to write business letters, advertisements, and other commercial documents; but thus far, there has been no recognition of the importance of English readings especially designed for these classes, and no material for such readings has been offered. It would therefore appear that there is a place for a collection of standard selections especially adapted to the needs of commercial students. It will be generally agreed, no doubt, that interest is a prime requisite for the fullest pleasure or assured success in any subject of study, and especially so in literary study.
