GERMAN.

Four Courses.—In each there are five hours weekly of lectures or
recitations. While no formal course in methods of modern language
teaching is offered, courses 1, 2, and 3 are planned to illustrate the
method that seems to the department of German in the University
best fitted for the teaching of elementary German in the high schools
of the south. The work in these courses will be supplemented by
occasional lectures on the problems of modern-language teaching.
Course 4 is a course in German Lyric and Ballad Poetry, with supplementary
reading in the history of modern German literature.

1. Elementary German A.—Beginners may take this course. Pronunciation,
elementary grammar as far as the weak declension of
nouns, reading, conversation, and composition.

Text-Book.—Zinnecker's Deutsch für Anfänger.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Williams. Peabody Hall,
Room 10.

2. Elementary German B.—A continuation of Course 1, beginning
with the weak declension of nouns and completing an elementary
course in grammar, with reading, conversation and composition.

Room 10.

University and the Professor of Germanic Languages.
