Suggestions as to the method of treating the text may seem impertinent
to some. The authors however merely wish to suggest a method which they
have successfully employed:

I. Regular preparation of the advance lesson should be made as follows:

_a_. Reading of the text by the teacher, a sentence at a time. Each
sentence to be translated by a pupil after the new words have been
explained by the teacher, in Spanish if possible.

_b_. A second reading by the teacher, followed by chorus reading of the
class.

II. At home the pupil should read the text aloud several times and copy
the text once or twice, then study it carefully.

III. In the recitation, translation should be reduced to a minimum, thus
allowing a maximum of time for conversation based upon the text. There
should also be considerable blackboard work consisting of the questions
and answers that were given orally. Repetition of answers by the entire
class as well as chorus reading are also profitable. After the reading
selection has been thoroughly mastered, oral and written resumes should
be given by the pupils.

The authors wish to thank the firm of A. P. Schmidt of Boston for
permission to reprint the songs _Bolero_ and _Me gustan Todas_. They are
especially indebted to Dr. Manuel Barranco for many valuable suggestions
and for assistance in proof reading.
