Excerpt from Accounting Theory and Practice: A First Year Text
The present volume gives the scope of the work in accounting offered in the first year of the School of Busi ness of Columbia University, and is an effort to mark out and define the portion Of the whole subject which can be handled effectively in one year's time.
There is a real demand for a one-year course which will treat the subject in a general way and give a brief view of the entire field. The author believes, however, that accounting in its broadest sense is just beginning to receive the consideration which it deserves and that more and more is recognition being given to the necessity of a thorough knowledge of its principles and their application, for effec tive work in all lines of business activity. Accordingly, the material in this first volume is not presented to meet the demand of the casual reader or of the student seeking a bird's-eye view of the entire field, since much of the sub jcet matter is reserved for presentation in a second volume which the author hopes to have ready in the course of another year. In that will be taken up a more detailed treatment of the balance sheet in connection with its prob lem of valuation; various aspects of the corporation and of the income statement, not adequately handled in this vol ume; together with some miscellaneous topics, including forms of special statements, branch accounting, sinking funds, and other similar subjects.

Excerpt from Accounting Theory and Practice: A First Year Text
There are many things, in the writing of a book, which can be said only in the foreword. First, the "raison d'etre" of the book may require an explanatory word. Second, it may not be out of place to discuss some of the many points of academic controversy; such as the difference between bookkeeping and accounting; as to whether accounting is an art or a science; the various theories of debit and credit, etc. Finally, consideration may be given to the need of a knowledge of accounting on the part not only of those preparing for business but also of those expecting to enter any of the professions.
With regard to the first point, it may be said that although there are available excellent treatises on accounting; the author feels that the field is rather barren of textbooks for the use of college students. This book is an effort to supply this need for students of first-year accounting.
As to the second point, suffice it to say that the author does not know the difference between bookkeeping and accounting and doubts whether there is any except in popular parlance. As to whether accounting is an art or a science, he believes that there is an art and also a science of accounting, the former resting upon the principles established by the latter. The necessary brevity of this introduction does not permit an adequate discussion of all the theories of debit and credit.
