Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Newspaper Reader: With Notes, Exercises, And Vocabulary Newspaper reading has often been recommended by eminent teachers as the best practical means to acquire a foreign language and to get at the same time true, first-hand, unbiased information about the men, the customs, the institutions of the country in which that language is spoken. As it is quite difficult, for many obvious reasons, to bring French newspapers to the classroom, the editor of this book has made a selection of newspaper and magazine articles concerning recent events in France. In order to get appropriate as well as interesting reading material, care has been taken to choose only from the best newspapers and magazines, those that have a solid, well-deserved reputation at home and abroad, such as Le Temps, the most famous of all, generally recognized as the official organ of the French government; Le Matin, the representative of modem journalism in France; L'Illustration, the well-known illustrated magazine; La Revue Bleue, a veteran among the literary reviews; or L'Opinion, a weekly which has won an important place in recent years. It may be added that quite, a number of the articles selected for this book have been written by foremost writers in France, Henri Lavedan, Jules Claretie, Adolphe Brisson, and others, who contribute weekly to the Parisian press chronicles on almost every topic of interest. Thus the most particular teacher need not fear that he will find here French of an inferior quality. The selections cover a great variety of subjects, which will contribute to enliven the interest of the students while helping them to acquire a large and practical vocabulary.
