Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of English in Commercial Courses Whatever may be the relative value of composition and literature in the final analysis, there is no doubt that the immediate needs of the commercial pupil demand the most thorough attention to composition. At the outset the teacher should keep in mind that English is English. Business English is nothing but talking and writing in good English about business problems. What is ungrammatical or incorrect for other purposes is like wise ungrammatical or incorrect for business. The great difference between the English of a college preparatory or general course and that of a commercial course lies in the content, which in the latter is drawn almost entirely from the enterprises and operations which are associated with business. Furthermore, emphasis should be laid upon English as a means rather than as an end in itself. The practical, rather than the artistic, is the goal.
