Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of French Grammar School classes should, in general, follow the sequence of lessons indicated just below the chapter headings. As 79 of the 185 chapters are used twice (the most important paradigms and rules being te viewed), there are in all 264 lessons. Classes that have four recitations a week for 33 weeks will thus be provided with a full two years' course. Classes that have only three periods a week can take Lessons 1-99 the first year, and Lessons 100-198 the second, Lessons 199-264 being omitted altogether or reserved for a third year. Either the first 99 or the first I 32 lessons make a well rounded first year's course, covering all that is absolutely indispensable in French grammar. In schools where there are more than four or less than three recitations a week, other arrangements of the lessons can be made. It will, indeed, Often be found advisable to deviate in various ways from the suggested program: for instance, in classical schools two lessons can frequently be taken at a time; while classes that have only one year of French can, if necessary, omit the first fifteen chapters, and learn pro nunciation in connection with their reading. The French Text and all the paradigms and examples contained in a lesson should, in any case, be pronounced by the pupils after the teacher, before the lesson is pre pared. When a lesson consists of a review of preceding chapters, the French texts and the exercises of those chapters are not included in the lesson. The Supplementary Exercises do not form an essential part of the course: they are intended for review, for use in alternate years, and for classes that are able to spend a great deal of time on grammar. The lessons from no. 28 on are so constructed as to require only a small amount of study, in order that pupils may have plenty of time to devote to the preparation of translation.
