Ed. 6 for the study of modern languages. «As long as Bellamy's 'state of the future' is no fact yet, as long as there are millionaires and Social Democrats, until every cobbler can step on to the scene of his handicraft, fitted out with an academic education, so long will private tuition be a necessity. Since no pedagogic considerations fetter the private tutor, one should think that the choice of a classbook could not be a difficult matter for him; for it is understood, and justly so, that any book is useful if only the teacher is of any use. But the number of those who write grammars, from the late respected Dr. Ahn down to those who merely write in order to let their own small light shine is too large. Their aim, after all, is to place the pupil as soon as possible on his own fect i. e. to render a teacher superfluous, and to save time and money. Then the saying holds good: «They shall be known by their works», and for that reason we say here a few words in favour of the books of the Gaspey-Otto-Sauer Method which have been published by Mr. Julius Groos, of Heidelberg. Valuable though these books have proved themselves to be for the use at school, it is for private tuition that they are absolutely indispensable. They just contain what claim for such books, not too much and not too little. The chapters of the various volumes are easily comprehended and are arranged in such a way that they can well be mastered from one lesson to the other; besides, the subject-matter is worked out so as to lead the pupil from the commencement to converse in the foreign tongue. What success these books have met with will best be seen from the ever increasing number of their publications which comprise, in different groups relating to Germans, Frenchmen, Englishmen, Italians, and Spaniards, not less than 160 works the following volumes of which I have successfully used myself and am still using for the instruction of Germans: the French grammar (24th. edition), the English grammar (21st. edition), the Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Russian grammars; for English and French students: the German grammar, not to mention minor auxiliary works by the same firm. It is surprising what splendid results one can obtain by means of this method in a period of 6 to 12 months. After such a course the student is enabled to instruct himself in commercial correspondence in a foreign language without a master's helping hand.» Extract from the,,Fränkischer Courier".
