The Meaning and Practice 

 of Commercial Information 



BY CHEESMAN A. HERRICK 



The book above mentioned explains the idea and describes the actual work- 

 ings of commercial schools. It treats commercial education from various points 

 of view, and shows that this form of instruction is a result of present economic 

 conditions and a natural step in our educational development. The author shows 

 also that special education for the present commercial age is both possible and 

 desirable, and that such education will gradually bring about a higher form of 

 commercialism. 



The work reviews the movements to furnish commercial education in leading 

 countries. For the United States a series of chapters are devoted to the Private 

 Commercial School, the High School of Commerce, the Curriculum of the Sec- 

 ondary Commercial School, and the Higher School of Commerce. Numerous 

 illustrations of men and institutions are furnished. 



An appendix supplies a good number of curricula for schools of various grades. 

 The value of the work is further increased by a select bibliography of the subject. 



The Geography of Commerce 



BY SPENCER TROTTER, M.D. 



This book is exceptionally fortunate as well as unique in its authorship. Dr. 

 Trotter is a scientist and geographer of high standing, while the editor, Dr. Her- 

 rick, is a trained economist. Both are experienced and successful teachers. The 

 text has stood the test of work with high school students. 



The Geography of Commerce gives a clear presentation of existing conditions 

 of trade. Throughout the book emphasis is laid on the relation between physi- 

 ography, qlimate, etc., and the activities and the organizations of men. As a re- 

 sult, the book is on the " practical side " of geography. Trade relations between 

 the United States and other countries are given special prominence. The causal 

 relations of physical environment to men, of men and environments to products, 

 and of products to trade, are treated with a unity that makes the book admirably 

 suited to class use. 



A complete working equipment and a list of books for further consultation 

 are furnished. Supplementary questions and topics are also supplied.
