SAYS CHARACTER COMMERCIAL
EDUCATIOH IS TOO RESTRICTED
'CHICAGO, Jan. 26 The purpose
and character of public high school
commercial education has been toe
restricted, it has concerned itself toe
narrowly 'o courses in business tech
nique and Isas neglocted to give

understanding of business conducl
and irelations, declared G-lcn Levin
Swiggert, of the U. S Bureau of Edu
cation, speaking here on business
education in tho public schools, be
fore the National Commercial Teach
ers’ (Federation.
“The problem in business e«luca
tion today is to coordinate skill ami
information, method and knowledge,'
he stated.
‘'Business education is not easj
to define," Mr. Swiggert said. “Thai
condition will prevail until it be
comes .mere of a science or a pro
fession. Recent years have seer
much done to givo scientific char
actor and professional aspect to
business, its conduct and pne-edure.
Colleges and universities have :u-1i■
tutod research departments for tlie
study of production processes, mar
kefing methods and devices and t-.-M
tems used in business procedure As
a result, the theory of economics is
now applied in many direction- by
! these institutions in preparation fori
[well defined business career'
“For example, many universities
i are offering courses in accounting,
I advertising and merchandizing, tunk
jing and finance. Insurance, foreign '
i trade and consular service, organ!za
| tion and management and transpor
Jtation. The scientific «tudv of busi
ness problems involved will lend to

and a definite fund of Inform t >n '
governing new business procedure
which will bring new subjects for
