Hand Book Of Modern Business Correspondence Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Modern Business Correspondence: A Practical Treatise on the Writing of Business Letters Including Many Exercises in Word Study, Synonyms, Ad Writing, Punctuation, Etc The average teacher in the public school usually has no difficulty in finding a text-book suited to his needs; his difficulty is to decide which of several good books he can use to the best advantage. With the commercial teacher, however, and especially with the commercial teacher in the public school, this is not always the case. More and more the fact is being recognized that among the chief qualifications of the successful business man is the ability to use plain, clear-cut, but withal graceful and effective English. "Commercial English" is simply "Everyday English" coupled with the technic of the office, store or factory. The average text-book is weak on the subject of Correspondence, and the pupil is required to write letters about a great variety of matters which have no connection with each other, and which frequently concern things so far beyond the scope of his knowledge and experience that he can not comprehend the supposed situation. The result is that many times he makes no point in his letter, because he does not understand what he is writing about, uses a few worn-out phrases and makes several ludicrous errors. Ask the same pupil a few questions about some business or some line of work with which he is familiar and, omitting the "Dear Sir" and "Yours truly," he may give you, orally, a fairly good business letter. The plan in these lessons, which have stood the test of the classroom, is to take lines of business with which every pupil is more or less familiar at the beginning and present them in such a way that the pupil will have a knowledge of the facts which make each letter necessary. Thus the pupil is not forced to rely wholly upon his imagination when writing the letters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Campbell's Commercial Correspondence: The Art of Modern Business Letter Writing The value of teaching correspondence can hardly be over estimated. The average student detests writing the English language. Composition, rhetoric and the various allied subjects seldom arouse any great interest in any but the exceptional student. Business correspondence, because it is particularly practical, is studied with a great deal of interest by students who for merly had almost an antipathy for any form of composition. The value of interesting the student in any subject is perfectlyobvious. The value of teaching a subject which interests and which offers a field which is far more comprehensive than it at first seems, is of course doubly valuable.

Excerpt from Advanced Business Correspondence One of the chief Obstacles to the extension of the study has been the dearth of suitable textbooks. Most of the books on letter writing that have been available were designed either for the man in actual business or for the students in high schools and commercial colleges. In books of the former class the tendency is to lay undue stress upon methods, with comparative neglect Of basic principles. In the high-school text it is necessary to give much space to matters of technic, such as grammar, sen tence structure, and diction. Both types of books are valuable; neither is perfectly adapted to the needs Of university students. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
