Excerpt from First German Composition

The story of First German Composition can be told in a few words. I could not find for the teaching of elementary German composition a book that contained enough very simple material. So I made one.

One reason, I think, that composition has not been taught earlier, for a longer period, and better in our high schools is, that teachers have realized the book for their purpose did not exist. I would not have these words construed to mean that there are not a number of excellent composition-manuals in the field - I say merely that in my opinion they do not offer a goodly amount of extremely simple, natural, and concrete material.

I shall not be content unless First German Composition is found to be a most practical book for use during the second year of German in secondary schools, even in those which have only a two years' course. It is not "graded" in the sense that it begins with easy words and phrases and ends with long puzzle-sentences which illustrate hanging participial constructions, the pluperfect subjunctive, and the gerundive. First German Composition is easy at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end. It aims to give the student constant opportunity to write, and write, and write the sort of simple idiomatic German that he must know before he can work out long puzzles in philosophical diction. It is "practice that makes perfect" and to practise a thing means to do it over and over again - and then yet again.
