Print on Demand. This book studies the history and development of the modern language disciplines and their position within the present university structure. Stemming from the belief that modern languages have long been undervalued in higher educations, the author argues for a more significant role to be afforded them. The book explores how these disciplines can be understood within a broader historical context and how they have evolved over time to the present day. It examines various theories and methods of teaching modern languages and delves into the nature of modern language and literature at large. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the enduring power and importance of modern languages in our world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

W'hen he 'comes to enumerate the elements ofthe utility which he claims for the modern lau guages, it is interesting to see that the lecturer places first the fact (p.5) that a knowledge of French and German doubles and trebles the library whence knowledge may be drawn; and in his analysis of method t/ze teaching of reading, he says, I put that clearly first. He says (p.26) I would always begin with a book and claims (p. 13)that for all, young or old, the eye is incomparably the swifter gate to knowledge, and it is the only means of rapidly acquiring accuracy. He insists that elementary (oral) work on lan guage should be confined to the mother tongue; and adds the important conclusion that the power of conversing in a foreign lan guage can be acquired at least as easily late as early that it is much less important than trans lation, much less important than composition, and that in learning it, at whatever age, we waste power if we proceed by ear only. Yet he does not undervalue the oflice of the ear, and adds an interesting paragraph on Dictation and Audition - that is, writing and listening from oral repetition;-but all these he holds to be subordinate to the main purpose of reading, and to the linguistic training and literary cul ture to be derived from the study of modern languages. Surely it is gratifying to see how closely the views which Mr. Colbeck repre sents are in accord with those formally enun ciated by the, Modern Language Association of America.

Reseña del editor
It is no less a privilege than a pleasure to talk to earnest, sympathizing friends about an enterprise for whose success they have practically worked; and the editors of Modern Language Notes desire at the beginning of the third year to tender thanks to their collaborators, and to all well-wishers who have so cheerfully aided them in passing the test-year of a journal's existence. So cordial and liberal has been the support of the undertaking, both on this and the other side of the Atlantic, that the editors feel encouraged to renew their pledge to the public for an advance in the variety and quantity of material to be presented. Two years of experience in editorial matters have shown that the modern languages in America have a scholarly following and that their friends are able and, it is believed, willing to sustain a publication of more extended proportions than that which has hitherto been issued. To prepare the way for this, the price has been increased by one-third, and in the future the Notes will be conducted on as liberal a scale as this change may warrant. The various publishers both here and in Europe have been prompt, as a rule, in forwarding their recent publications for notice in these columns. With their continued co-operation and that of individual contributors, it is hoped to make the Notes more and more reflect the wishes, plans and doings of American scholars occupied with modern linguistics in whatever direction, and to bring to their notice all the chief home and foreign publications for the three departments, those of the English, Germanic and Romance languages, especially represented here.
Université de France is the name of the vast organization which comprises all establishments of public instruction from the facultes of the capital down to the ecole materuelle or infant class of the primary school in the remotest village of the provinces. At the head of this body is the minister of public instruction, who has the title of grand-master of the university. He is assisted by the couseil su-p'erieur de l'iinstruction publique, a council of sixty members, and about twenty inspecteurs generaux. To facilitate the administration the country is divided into sixteen educational districts, called academies. At the head of each of these, with the exception of that of Paris, is a recteur, who in his turn is aided by an academical council and inspecteurs d'academie. These authorities watch over all branches of education, and together with the prefects, appoint or dismiss all teachers; the superior council deliberates and prescribes the methods and the plans of study for all schools.
By the side of the university are the écoles libres, and in consequence of the law of 1875 now also a few facuftes libres. The écoles libres, especially those directed by the clergy, enjoy still the patronage of a great portion of the nation. The state has excluded all priests and members of religious orders from the public schools, but it cannot interfere with their teaching in their own establishments, as long as they do not violate the laws or the constitution. It has, however, reserved to itself, that is, to the university, the exclusive right of examination for all certificates valuable in public life, and that of conferring all academic degrees.
An important aid for the study of the government schools is afforded by the publication through Delalain Freres of a great number of the plans of study and programs of the conditions of admission to schools and examinations.
