The practice of industrial education of analyzing a curriculum of subjects containing values of vocational work, related vocational, and non-vocational subjects is causing the examination of commercial education with a view to a more careful practice with respect to like items. This evolution of commercial education has resulted in a new and better conception of proper procedure and an attempt to meet the needs of children who attend high school and desire instruction in commercial subjects.
