Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Industrial-Commercial Geography of the United States This book is not a technical treatise upon the industries discussed, but simply an attempt to describe, in a clear and simple way. some of the every-day features, as well as some of the unusual things, that belong to these industries. I have attempted to keep constantly in view the human elements of the stories. At the same time, the leading thought has been to emphasize the importance of these activities, as carried on in the United States. The student is free to investigate their existence in other countries should he desire to do so. The nations that control the world arc those which lead industrially, for this is an industrial age. Perhaps ninety per cent, of our pupils will enter some form of industrial life, as the whole world is united by a network of commerce and industry. The study of the great industries is the surest way to obtain a practical knowledge of any country. Commercial Geography is a study of the centralization of industry, and has become one of the most essential branches in our schools. The most valuable stenographer is not simply the most speedy shorthand writer, but the one who can, by reason of her general knowledge, make the most intelligent and accurate transcript with reasonable speed. The best-salaried accountant is not alone the finest penman or most rapid calculator, but the one who is most familiar with the sources of supply, process of manufacture, and cost of the common commodities with which he has to reckon. Likewise, the most successful business man is not the narrow-minded tradesman, but the broad-gauged, calculating man of affairs, whose knowledge of the world´s great industries gives him power to cope with the problems of business life.
