PKEFACE.
It is suggested that for use in the class-room
the Greek of the passage be read carefully and
aloud by the pupils twice before the teacher calls
for the translation.
Sometimes well-chosen remarks by the teacher
about the selection to be read, or about its author,
are of real benefit.
It is believed that the extracts are in them-
selves well worth reading, aside from the linguistic
purposes.
I think that the use of such passages brightens
and quicken's a class, gives variety and life to the
routine of hard work, and is a real help to the
student of Greek.J. B. K.
