Excerpt from Deutsch's Drillmaster in German: Based on Systematic Gradation and Steady Repetition And now I would call attention to the second great principle to which I have given prominence in the title, repetition, the great importance of which in the study of living languages for practical conversational purposes is undisputed. In reading, the memory is assisted partly by the word-picture and partly by the context; but in speaking a language, we must have the words, phrases and idioms at our instant command, or, in other words, we must make them as much our own as those of our mother tongue, and this can only be done when a strong, lasting impression has been effected by constant repetition or drill until the mental impression is permanent. And to accomplish this, the Review Exercises are inserted, arranged in such a manner that no new terms are employed, but merely modifi cations and variations of the sentences already given, which have been selected with a view to practical usefulness. The orthography adopted is that which has been officially prescribed for the schools in most of the German States, and particularly for those in Prussia. I have preferred the use of Roman {ype in the text, since many years' experience has taught me that the German characters are a drawback in the beginning and retard the student's pro gress. Moreover, by adopting this plan the student will be better able to perceive the affinity between English and German. But, as the German type is in common use, all the vocabularies, and the last two sections of the book comprising conversational phrases, have been printed in German, and on pages 18 and 19 the alphabet will be found in German script. The Appendix contains synoptical tables giving a general view of the in ections, and also a number of supplementary grammatical rules.
