INTRODUCTION. In this study itis proposed to give an historical account of the teaching of modern languagesGerman, French, Spanish,and Italianin the United States.The hope is entertained that the record of past achievement and present needsmay inspire teachers of modern languages to greater effort and still greater achievement. The work of investigation was begun in 1909.A number of the largest libraries in the United States, including the Library of Con- gress, have been searched for material.Much has been obtained also by' questionnaire, by a voluminous personal correspondence, and by personal visits to schools. It is impossible to list all of the books used. A select bibliography will be found appended to the various chapters, anda list of helps for the teacher is also added at the end of the book. Itis to be expected that a pioneer study of this sort will show defects and omissions.Much historical material will, no doubt, be brought to light which now lies hidden and unknown in college archives. To the teacher of modern languages it. must bea matter of deep interest to know how his branch of learning has stood, said stands, in the estimation of educators and of the general public.This question- the following pages seek to answer. The fine record ofa .branch of study which was taken up in the United States only about a century ago is worth recording.The roll of teachers boasts many proud naves besides LongfAlow, Lowell, Ticknor, and Boyesen. Since 'RS an historical treatise, this work should be free from bias, it may be permitted to advance a personal view here in the intro. duction, a view, hoyltver, whick.is based upon an intimate stbdy of the literature and the conditipns of modern danguage teaching. The moderh languages were often poorly taughtincommon'. )with some other subjectsin.the past.Indeed, there are large numbers of inefficient teachers still.But with the better training of teachers, with the introduction of the direct method ina good number of schools, with a slight advance in the books and helps in instruction, modern language teaching has improved womiNfully within recent years; so-much so, in fact, that it has been shown by statistics of the College Entrance Examination Board that French and German are to-day taught better than Latin and Greek' I-Sahool reviews. 1e: 268-264. 6 6 _INTRODUCTION. ,- However, the training of teachers is still very inadequate.The difficulty is to equip teachers with a commensurate command, pray- field. and scientific, of the foreign language in our training schools. Indeed, there .are, Properly speaking, no training schools for the teacher' of German and French, excepting one for German.' Our universities and colleges have wet trained and are not training properly for this service, although several schnti'i are doing excellent work in this line.(Cf. Columbia University 'leathers College, in its Announcement, 1910-11, pp. 69-70, 73-74, and University of Chi- cap Register, 1909-10, pp. 316-17.)I fere is a line of work which must eventually be taken up in various parts of the country,if our modern language teaching-is to be of a high grade.Foreign residence isnot possible for thousands of secondary,_atid e'en college teachers. For this class there must be created an adequate slibstitute fur the foreign sojourn whichthe. European moilernlanguage teacher' invariably obtains as part of his eqnipment. College and university graduates will; of course, continue to go out `"to teach foreign languages. Up to the present their training has been very uneven.At best they have'been given a course ie methods, in most cases purely theoreticalPractice teaching and observation, such as the German Probekandufat Undergoes for a year or two, is, even to-day, almost altogether wanting'It is,to be hoped that there will soon be a &pintail for a better equipment for modern language teachers, and that the universities did colleges will meet it. .As to the materials of instruction,.there is still much to be desired. Our readdlt, texts, and for the most part, our grammars are not adapted to the direct method of leaching =how ar our books are lci still removed fromthe direct method ,may be seen by comparing them with the German publications for teaching English and French, or the British readers and texts, say thoseof Savory. While much has lately been written on the Rea lien' in the United States, they are not yet available for the less informed teacher. What is needed in this matter is a bctfaie that will take up German, French, Spanish, and Italian Realien, whit .special departme it and advertise them as widely as readers and texts are now advert d. Modern languages have been taught remarkably-well in the East, especially in secondary schools; in the "German, belt" in the Cen- tral West. we might naturally expect A beneficiii k influence in the teachingof German int high schools., This conclusion has.. bee% reached not only by personal contact but-by the quality of the Meru, pganationalo dentschamerikinbohe Ichrersemlnar, Milwauige, Wis.('f. on iias institution: Monts hefts fur deutsche spmebe and plidagogik, 8: 137-141, May, 1807.

Oktoberfest History It began with the Royal Wedding on 12 October 1810 of King Ludwig I and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburg- hausen. The original "Oktoberfest" occurred in Munich, on October 12, 1810: For the commemoration of their mar- riage, Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen (namesake of the Theresienwiese festival grounds) organized a great horse race (the marriage took place on October 12; the horse race on October 17 — therefore, there are different dates named as being the first Oktoberfest). The Oktoberfest is a sixteen-day festival held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany during late September (and running to early October). It is one of the most famous events in the city and the world's largest fair, with some six million people attending every year, and is an enjoyable event with an important part of Bavarian culture. Many other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event.
