THE ALLIANCE (NEBRASKA) HERALD
HOW ANCIENTS KEPT BOOKS
Development of Comprehensive Sye
tem Necessary to Merchant and
Wage Earner.
Accountancy, which I the science of
ystetnatlr.lng business, has n history
that runs back at least 4,000 year.
Very early In the development of na
tions It was found that In commerce,
as well as In the affairs of the state,
systematic and careful account keep
Inn were indispensable. These aya
tems were at first crude and laborious,
but they at least kept the finances of
the nation and the marts of trade from
being chaotic.
The Invention of double entry book
keeping early In the fifth century by
the merchants and bankers of Venice
gave to the commerce of Europe an
invaluable trade Instrument and one
without which the great commercial
enterprises of the later centuries could
hardly have existed, according to
Thrift. And so It hps been down to
the present time; there lias been a
parallel progress between the accom
plishments of commerce and the sci
ence of accounting, and it Is known
to every man In business that the
former could not continue without the
latter. Even the most unbusinesslike
people know this much, and we can
hardly imagine any one silly enough
to attempt to carry on any kind of
business enterprise without keeping
books.
Bookkeeping, as a formal subject of
study, is taught In most of the public
and private schools of this country, but
It Is only that form of bookkeeping
that applies to the affairs of the mer
chant or the shopkeeper. The public
has yet to learn that bookkeeping Is
quite as necessary to the prosperity of
the wage worker, the salaried man, the
farmer, and the housekeeper, as it Is
to the shopkeeper, the raerchnnt or the
manufacturer.
