The article discusses the procedure followed by the Atlanta University in providing adequate laboratories to the students. This gave rise to the suggestion that the local business concerns, especially the smaller business units, be turned into a large scale laboratory, in which students under immediate faculty supervision might carry on practical work in the keeping of books. The majority of the students who are enrolled in accounting at Atlanta University seek laboratory assignments. It is increasingly difficult to find sufficient students to keep the books for the concerns which seek their services. In assigning students to business concerns, they are placed so far as possible in the type of concern in which they seem to have the greatest interest. With a list of concerns to select from the student has an opportunity to choose one which is nearest to his liking. One advantage which Atlanta University has over some schools which might undertake a similar project lies in the fact that the professors and instructors in the Department of Business Administration are actually engaged in the operation of successful retail concerns, banks, and accounting firms in the community.

A course in CPA problems is universally accorded a place in the curriculum in the senior year and represents the end of the work in accounting for the accounting major. Here is an attempt to bring in materials from the outside with which to test the mettle of the prospective accounting practitioner. Here is a departure from the consistent use of materials created by university teachers in accounting to extend and develop the teaching of accounting principles. Perhaps to the alert student, there is carried a warning of harder days to come, of more complex problems to solve in the work which lies ahead. In searching for the specific purpose of a course in CPA problems, it can be stated that it should provide a thoroughgoing review of accounting principles and practices. This means that by the use of CPA problems an attempt should be made to cover the field of accounting in review.
