Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Lessons and Exercises to Be Used With Grandgent's Short French Grammar, Vol. 1 These lessons and exercises are to be used, with my Short French Grammar during a first year's course in colleges or a second year's course in schools. I mean to construct at least one more set of the same grade, in order that the work may be varied from year to year. There are sixty lessons and thirty exercises - that is to say, materials for three recitations a week during thirty weeks. The tasks have been made short, so that about half of every hour may be left for translation. It is taken for granted that some French reading-book is used from the very outset. The lessons consist of references to the Grammar. The numbers indicate paragraphs; they are not intended to include any detached subdivisions that are not expressly mentioned, but they do cover all tables, paradigms, and examples. Numbers in heavy-faced type represent portions that are to be thoroughly studied; the others stand for paragraphs that should be carefully read. The instructor would do well to go over each lesson with the students beforehand, pronouncing for them all the French words, and calling their attention especially to the examples. Classes that have used the First Year's Course for Schools may substitute other irregular verbs for those given here. The exercises, which illustrate the grammatical points discussed in the preceding lessons, are based on a French story printed in this pamphlet - a selection from Sur l'Eau, by Guy de Maupassant. Composition exercises are to be prepared with the help of this text and the grammar, but without the use of a dictionary. The story is provided with an interlinear translation and notes; it is to be used for practice in pronunciation and for grammatical analysis. The same selection is printed in phonetic spelling in the First Year's Course for Schools, Number 1, a pamphlet which may, if the instructor so desires, be used in colleges as an introduction to these college exercises.
