It
the

is

suggested that for use in the class-room

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

author,

its

are of real benefit.

It

believed

is

selves well

that

the

extracts

are

in

worth reading, aside from the

them-

linguistic

purposes.
I think that the use of such passages brightens

and quicken's a
routine

of hard

class,

gives variety and

work, and

is

life

to the

a real help to the

student of Greek.
