Abstract The article focuses on the planning of field work in accounting. One of the acute problems facing accounting departments in collegiate schools of business is that of bridging the gap between the work in the classroom and the accountant's activities in business. The field work plan for those students who wish to enter public accounting has been developed to establish a means whereby the students may gain some valuable experience before graduation. The plan which is described in these pages is the one which has been in successful operation at the Ohio State University for about six years. Being located adjacent to several cities of considerable size, it has been possible for the university to secure the cooperation of a sufficient number of public accounting firms to make the venture a success. Participation in the field work plan on the part of the students is not compulsory. The success of the venture would be jeopardized if it were to be made so. Only the better students are privileged to take part in the field work and even in these cases, it is purely optional.

Abstract There is always a certain amount of interest attached to the excursion of a state into the field of industry. This is not confined to the state itself, but usually manifests itself as well in even remotely located sister commonwealths. Because of the publicity given North Dakota's program of state ownership, it was thought that a paper dealing with some of the problems of its major industry would find enough interest to justify it. In order to understand clearly the nature of the organization and management of the state mill and elevator, it is necessary to touch briefly on certain acts of the legislature. In the first section of an act passed by the sixteenth legislative assembly of the State of North Dakota and approved February 25, 1919, is found the statement that "for the purpose of encouraging and promoting agriculture, commerce and industry, the State of North Dakota shall engage in the business of manufacturing and marketing farm products and for that purpose shall establish a system of warehouses, elevators, flour mills, factories, plants, machinery and equipment, owned, controlled and operated by it under the name of the North Dakota Mill and Elevator Association." In addition, this act provided for the manner of operation of the Association and the powers and duties of the persons charged with its management.
