Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical German Grammar
After the lapse of ten years, during which textbooks have multiplied and the literature of method has greatly increased, I find in this earlier confession of faith nothing that I wish to recant or to modify. There is no doubt room for differ ent kinds of books, varying with the age and ability of the pupil and with the idiosvncrasy of the teacher. Such a thing as the best method does not exist, and it is unwise to pin one's faith too strenuously to any routine or set of dogmas. The capable teacher will always wish to prove all things and hold fast to that which he personally finds to be good. I am convinced, however, that for learners who take up the serious study of German under the conditions ordinarily pre sented by our American high schools and colleges where the problem is the best use of a limited time a book planned on the general lines above described will prove most serviceable.
