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.
