No one can say that our Motives are unworthy, for our object is to instruct. But there are some who may object to our Methods, and it is to such that we offer, not an apology, but an explanation.
A very large section of the Public cling to the belief that Law must be as dry as Dust, and Accounting as tedious as the Treadmill.
The truth is, it is not the Practice of Law or of Accounting that is uninteresting, but rather is it the Theory which is often rendered so by Teachers whom Providence never ordained to teach.
If, therefore, the employment of unorthodox methods helps to interest the Student in his subject, and to stimulate him to further effort, any apology would be out of place.

De mortuo illo quid dicam? Nilnisi bonum ut aiunt.
Sed quid si nil boni fecit? De bonis licet loqui.
