Excerpt from First German Reader

Our first german reader is simple. Nevertheless, since we are addressing ourselves to adolescents, it is never childish, nor does it overlook the importance of introducing the student to a German atmosphere. The selections for reading, consist ing of description, narration, and conversation, are arranged upon sound pedagogical principles proceeding from the known to the unknown, from the better known to the less known, from the less difficult to the more difficult, from the imme diate environment to which the pupil adjusts himself more readily, to the more remote. Definite grammatical phenomena are embodied in each piece. The self-activity of the student is stimulated everywhere.
