The Key to Success in Business.
BY A. G. SCHOLFIELD,
Principal of Scholfield's Commercial College, Providence, R. I.
Copyright 1890, by A. G. Scholfield.
The Intellectual Advantage to the Student, of the Study of Bookkeeping, as it is Taught in Scholfield's Commercial College.
There is no study that one can take up and pursue for the same limited time, that combines as much in variety, and that can so effectually discipline the mind in reason- ing from cause to effect, and that can so intellectually and effectually equip him, or her, for the various duties of life as the study of Double Entry Bookkeeping under a com- petent teacher. This study secures to the student an easy, graceful and legible hand writing. This study compels its
7
students to acquire a thorough knowledge of Commercial Arithmetic as a preliminary qualification for the study of Bookkeeping. This study in its practical details, as pur- sued in this college, also requires its students to write all the letters of business correspondence suggested by the business which is the subject of the students' lessons. Our students are required to write all these letters and to submit them for criticism and when corrected to copy them into his Book of Forms for future reference. The laws of business to which every person's business is sub- ject more or less, in its conduct and its records, are also here taught in all their practical details in connection with Bookkeeping.
This study embodies not only the foregoing preliminary considerations, but it calls into requisition certain funda- mental governing principles, a thorough knowledge of which the student must acquire before he can commence or pursue understandingly the study of either single or double entry. Intellectually equipped with a thorough knowledge of these elementary governing principles, the student proceeds alone, aided by a competent teacher withal, to solve understandingly in the Day Book, Journal and Ledger and auxiliary books, the various actual busi- ness transactions which are the subjects of the students lessons in both Single and Double entry. So definite, clear and available, to satisfy any inquiry which may arise in the business they represent are these business records, made under our supervision, that the student becomes at once fascinated in pursuing this very interesting and most important branch of education.
Finally, the time having come when the net gain or loss in the business of the past should be ascertained, that- business the records of which are rendered in conformity with correct principles and their subordinate rules; the student proceeds to perform this task by making a Grand Balance Sheet, which sheet combines a Trial Balance, a Balance Sheet and a Profit and Loss Sheet, his Grand Balance Sheet made from the Ledger constitutes a mathematical process by which both gross and net gain or loss in the business in the past is ascertained and proven beyond a doubt. The student having intelligently solved
the profit and loss problem under consideration, proceeds to close the Profit and Loss account in the Ledger into the account or accounts to which it is subordinate. Hav- 'ing availed himself of the rare opportunity offered in Scholfield's Commercial College, for acquiring a
thorough business education, and having under the guidance of its principal and his assistants opened a set of business books in double entry, penned their records daily, weekly and monthly, solved every problem demanded of the Accountant from day to day, and closed the business into Profit and Loss correctly and understandingly, the student realizes for the first time that he holds the intellectual key to the science of double entry bookkeeping-the key to success in business and to a competency through life. What enterprising young gen- tleman or lady does not covet such an accomplishment ?
Encouragement for the Ladies.
Whilst the demands for Bookkeepers to fill places of trust and responsibility are about equally divided between Gentlemen and Ladies, there is another lucrative source of employment recently opened to ambitious and enterprising young ladies for which they should not be slow to qualify themselves, that is Shorthand and Typewriting. The de- mand for competent Shorthand and Typewriters is con- stantly increasing and is greater than the supply. The compensation for such services is from six to fifteen dollars per week.
Besides, there is no service which one can render to his or her employer which will command from the employer greater respect and consideration than that of a Shorthand and Typewriter or Bookkeeper.
Furthermore: the expert Shorthand and Typewriter is not only always in the line of promotion, but her daily prac- tice in the line of her profession opens to her wider fields of thought, the cultivation of which qualifies its subject for a large field of usefulness.
Such are the emoluments, intellectual tendencies, aspir- ations and accomplishments of an accomplished and ef-
.
ficient Shorthand and Typewriter. Ladies will you qualify yourselves for this honorable and remunerative occupation? The increasing demand for Typewriters waits for your reply. Does the reader ask, where can this instruction be acquired most effectually? we answer, it can be acquired most effectually in Scholfield's Com- mercial College where Shorthand has been taught during the last thirty-six years and Typewriting has been taught during the last two years. Our machines employed in teaching Typewriting are of the three best known to the profession.
The facilities for providing situations for its graduates is not excelled if equalled, by any other school in New England.
SCHOLFIELD'S Commercial College,

NO, CLASSES.
Each student is favored with separate instruction. The superior advantages that the principal of this College possesses for securing to its student-gradu- ates remunerative employment will be always cheerfully conferred on such students. The demand upon us for our student-graduates Accountants during the last year has been greater in favor of Ladies than of Gentlemen. Will the Ladies qualify themselves to supply such future demand?
