Book Description
Excerpt from Essentials of Business English In the preparation of this text, the authors have made no attempt at originality, except as to the manner of pre senting the subject. They have kept uppermost in mind the Object to be attained - the ability on the part of the student to use correct English. With this end in view, the material has been selected from various sources, and so modified and arranged as to produce this result with the least expenditure of time on the part of the student, and a minimum of work on the part of the teacher. No attempt has been made to produce an exhaustive treatise for the few, but rather a book of essentials for the many; nor has any effort been made to speculate upon the technical phases of the subject. The student's need is not theory and comment, but rather the rules and principles, with their proper application. I t is utterly useless to learn rules unless one learns to apply them.

Book Description
Excerpt from Business English This work grew out of teaching English to college men who were beginning their studies in Engineering. It seemed for various reasons desirable to give such students - along with their work in pure literature and technical English - some in struction in English as adapted to buying and selling, advertis ing and correspondence. There seemed however to be no text-book quite available for such a purpose. A purely elementary text-book, ignoring all high-school English and some of the grammar-school instruo tion, would not do. Nor could the need be supplied by some more advanced book devoted to the principles of correspond ence. What was needed was a book which took into considera tion the best standards and scholarship of college teaching, and applied the established principles of composition to the special problems of business, with due reference to the vocabularies of commerce and commercial law. From this point of view, then, the text of the book was writ ten. When finished, much of it was seen to be Within the grasp of younger students. It was then determined to simplify the text a little further, and to construct exercises which would make the book serviceable in the third and fourth year of tech nical and commercial high schools, in the first year of technical colleges, in business colleges, and in correspondence work. The manner in which this adjustment has been made may be seen at a glance in the exercises under Argument (p.

Book Description
Excerpt from Business English Its Principles and Practice Part I also presents the important elements of good English. Grammar and punctuation are treated not as a system of rules, but as a structural part of composi tion. This method has been adopted not only because the business man is not interested in grammar and punctuation except as they are applied, but also because experience has shown that students obtain a better working mastery of good sentence structure and diction when it is taught In this way. The experienced teacher knows that a knowledge of rules and the ability to write clearly are often far apart in actual practice. No essen tial principle of syntax or punctuation has been omitted.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Essentials of Business English The few technical terms you need to know in grammar are easier to learn than the technical names of things in other fields and are quite as necessary to know. I would not insult your intelligence by translating into babble such terms as inflection, agreement, conjugation, or by assuming that you can not learn at a glance a participle or an adverb.

Book Description
Excerpt from Actual Business English For more than a generation, authors of text books on English have called their books by the title Business English. So far as I know, no one previous to Mr. Deffendall has dared actually to do what is implied in the title. In Actual Business English every illustrative sentence is taken from business; every usage recommended is a business usage; every modern detail taught is a detail necessary to business letter writing; and every antiquated detail ignored is a detail that the business office of today also ignores. The usual text labeled Business English begins with illustrations taken from the classics, and ends with them. This book is different. Mr. Deffendall's sentences and paragraphs come hot from Wanamaker, Packard, Goodyear, and others who pay men to do what Mr. Deffendall is trying to train the student to do. No such sentences as "The lowing herds wind slowly o'er the lea," appear in his work. This is not because such sentences are not beautiful and correct, but because "The growing company moved into a new building," suits Mr. Deffendall's purpose better, and has a stronger appeal to enthusiastic commercial students. That the author has actually done what his title promises, is the first thing that stands out from the pages of this book.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Literature of Business Of composition: an adequate vocabulary, a sense Of style, a respect for one's language, and a capacity to organize and marshal one's ideas? It is perfectly clear that no training can give all the information or produce all the qualities that are here suggested. But it is pretty evident that it is reading upon which we must depend for a very large part Of what we want. The way in which this reading should be done is not quite so evident. In the case Of college students, whose requirements have been primarily in the minds of the editors, two methods have been used: some instructors ask their students to subscribe for business magazines; others prepare lists of books and articles to which they send the students. Both methods are admirable, and they need not be discontinued even if a book Of selections is adopted. However, they suffer certain disadvantages. If all students read only one magazine of business, then the range Of reading is too narrow. If definite selections from various magazines and books are assigned, then large classes almost inevitably find difficulty in doing assigned reading promptly, if at all. If a wide range of choice is allowed, then it is not possible to check the reading fully, and the student's choice almost certainly depends upon his convenience rather than his needs. The rapid growth Of classes in business English makes necessary simplification Of teach ing methods. It is hoped that this book will contribute to such a simplification in connection with supplementary reading.
