Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.

Excerpt from Word From Word Readers, Vol. 1 Actual schoolroom experience has convinced the author that the same or a similar process must be followed in teaching the child to recognize printed symbols. As in speaking, the basal or germinal words must be learned by memory, and then from these many others may be derived simply and naturally. Five hundred thirty-four different words are used in the selections in this book. One-third of these are basal or germinal words and must be named for the pu pils and memorized by them. From these are derived simply and directly not only the remainder of the five hundred thirty-four but about a thousand other wordsthat will be encountered by the child in later reading books. Readers for beginners which present uninteresting, de tached sentences are no longer used by the most successful teachers of reading. The short jingle or Mother Goose rhyme or the fable seems to be the simplest and most natural unit in reading. The first selection to be read should be one that the child already knows word for word. He should then by his own effort, if possible, find out what the words are, instead of being told by the teacher. The Mother Goose rhymes with which this book begins are chosen with this purpose in view. Let the teacher for the first few days have the children repeat from memory Mother Goose rhymes, making sure that all can repeat Jack and Jill. Then give them their books and, beginning with the first rhyme, have them repeat it and point out the words. The rhyme is fol lowed by a number of parodies in which the word changes are few. The children will find these interesting and easy to read because few new words are introduced. N o harm is done if the jingles are read memoriter, provided the teaching of the word families 1s thorough. In teaching the new words, each should be derived whenever possible from a word or words already known. An explanation of the method and directions for using the word lists are given on pages 126 to 128. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
