The Object Of this book is to suggest that what we do is primarily the result Of what we are, and that, therefore, the efficiency, or otherwise, Of our actions will be determined in the main by what we are; that the habit Of Right Thinking must be formed before we can expect Right Doing; that Character and Vision are the Bed-rock Of all true Efficiency.

Excerpt from The True Basis of Efficiency

Some addition to the specialised literature of Commerce is the natural and inevitable outcome of the institution by the University of London of the new degree in Commerce. The syllabus for the degree involves both the development of new subjects and the re-shaping of material already available but ill-adapted for the special purpose in view. The adequacy of the syllabus to the needs of the student provides one measure of the value of the scheme; a far more important measure is to be found in the facility with which the student can grasp the matter dealt with in the syllabus. The most perfect syllabus, on paper, is of small value in the absence of the proper equipment for its handling. Such equipment, on the academic side, consists in the main of lectures and books. A good text-book provides a framework around which the complete structure can be erected. Without such a frame, the pressure of time reduces criticism and explanation to a minimum; a lecture, at the best, tends to become a mere lifeless recapitulation of those essential facts which are far better studied in more permanent form in print.
