SPANISH MADE EASY.
A Method which Uses the Screen to
Assist the Teacher.

To THE EDITOR on THE SuN-str! I
note in a recent issue of THE Sunny
favorite American paper for some nifty
years. communication from John Z.
Browning regarding the teaching of
Spanish in the public schools. He says
that many pupils take UP this language
at tho beginning Of tho term. but soon
drop out because they find the grammar
difficult to overcome No wonder. Out
of a thousand Americans who have
learned 10 SPEAK Spanish with greater
or less firency II Is to be doubted II
there are nifty who acquired their ability
in this direction by first studying the
grammar of the language.
Practical teaching Is the only method
by which the average American or other
foreigner can learn the language. Here
is one example as an illustration:
have attended classes where the first
thing done was to learn tho alphabet
and tho proper pronunciation of the
letters. more especially the vowels. This
was taught both by word OF mouth and
by illustrations on q screen.
Next were shown on tho screen the
most commonly used verbs and their
LENSES. ENeNt tncbc Were CcTnDlneQ WIN
common words in simple sentences OF
everyday use. Then short stories in
simple language were read and trans
lated into English. These were followed
by longer sentences and additional
words
In this Mariner n working vocabulary
was soon acquired. the proper pronun-
citation OF words was learned, and at the
end OF the term the pupils could all carry
on conversations In Spanish, while not
one had learned a single dry Srammsti-
cal rule. except as the teacher casually
explained from time TO time certain
constructions and expressions.
II the United States Is ever 70 take
Its proper place in commerce with the
other nations OF both North and South
America. tho youth of both sexes must
learn TO speak and write Spanish.

fastened to heavy bars OF iron, and
chains about their necNs attached TO
