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. ERWIN W. ROESSLEE CONTENTS 1. La Escuela 2. El Discipulo 3. La Sala de Clase.
