Excerpt from Trusts, Pools and CorporationsThe first requisite, therefore, for the successful conduct of economic instruction in the descriptive field is to provide raw material, which in discussion, supplementary to the general lec tures, may be worked over in detail in the classroom. Such material, by reason of the great increase in economic periodical literature since 1890, is now rapidly augmenting. Yet with classes often aggregating in such economic courses from one to two hundred men, as at Harvard University, resort by each student to the files of such periodical literature is out of the question. Public documents are also impossible for reference reading with a class of considerable size. And finally, in my judgment, a generally neglected and amazingly rich find lies em bedded in the mass of factual evidence accumulated in the course of legal proceedings in our courts. The mere decisions, as long currently used, are of course well known. But it is not the legal pronouncement in the case, infrequently interlarded with brief statements of fact, but the actual testimony adduced The Record of evidence submitted which has rarely been utilized. Such matter must be painstakingly uncovered, abridged, even digested, and made more conveniently accessible, to serve its due end for the teacher. To direct attention to this material by a few concrete illustrations from such sources, reprinted in this volume, is not an unimportant motive in its production.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
