GERMAN IN EVE WEEKS.
Professor Dodge Entertains Two SeIec
Audiences at Eden Hall.


Audiences at Eden Hall.
Professor Dodge's announcement that
he would teach anyone to speak and
read German in five weeks prompted a
large number Of people TO visit Eden
Hall yesterday afternoon. To say that
he made good impression from the out
set is mild way of relating IL. The
professor said first that the natural
method is simply adhering to natures
own immutable laws of training the ear
first, then the tongue and, lastly, the
eyes. These laws, he said. are illustrated
IN the child learning its mother tongue.
The child in any land begins by learning
to understand, then TO speak and. finally
TO read, and so it is in his classes. that
explodes the groundless notion that
grammar should be studied at the begin
ming.
I'm German there are some 9. GOO words
that are the same in English. and by
selecting the proper words from this
vocabulary, first using the known TO
build zupOn, then by various ingenious
methods peculiar TO Professor Dodge the
pupil is gradually, but surely. led on
from the known TO the unknown. till. be.
fore he is aware of the fact, he is en-
teacher. Tho professor then began to
talk in pure German to the audience. not
one in ten of whom probably knew a
word Of the Yaterland vernacular. Half
an hour later they were in an uproar of
laughter, and actually joining in with the
teacher in the conversation, and the
humorous anecdote he told was made so
clear and interesting that nobody seemed
TO realize that they were being addressed
in genuine Teutonic until attention was
called TO the fact.
Professor Dodge is a pleasant talker.
enters heart and soul into his subject
and has peculiar faculty of putting
everybody at ease, even under the most
embarrassing circumstances. This is the
secret of his great success as teacher.
Professor Dodge has Travelled Europe
thoroughly and is a linguist Of no mean
ability. He should meet the encourage
ment here that he has elsewhere and
that he justly merits Free exhibitions
will be given atRoom Institute building
