Excerpt from Materials for German Conversation: With Notes and Vocabulary In selecting stories that were to form the basis of con versation between teacher and pupil, it was felt that they should in the first place be interesting in themselves. They should also readily lend themselves to reproduction on the part of the pupil, and the vocabulary should be representa tive of the real - the pupil's own - world, rather than that of thought and feeling. These considerations have determined both the character of the selections and their individual treatment. Description and all detailed setting have therefore been eliminated in favor of action and in cident. The editor has also aimed at introducing the pupil to only a limited German vocabulary. In accordance with this principle important words and phrases once used, have been repeated in subsequent selections, as well as in different portions of the same selection. Intensiveness, not extensiveness of knowledge has been the goal. Only by such steps can the pupil gain a sure footing and develop an accurate feeling for a foreign language. The questions appended to each story do not lay claim to exhaustiveness. They have been so framed that the answers can be constructed by the student without aid. Other than that derived from text, notes and vocabulary. While the later selections are covered somewhat less fully.
