Abstract
Account data and computer output can organize facts in aid of decisions, but men must still decide. Education as such is a way of deepening experience, and practical experience is educational from pressing one to think. On one hand, the function of financial statements is to open transaction experience to analytical review. On the other hand, college education should provide some experience in thinking when not all useful facts are available.
