Author's Summary.— This paper deals with the secondary school work in French, considered as a preparation for the continued study of French in the university. The writer discusses various phases of the work (pronunciation, grammar, reading, translation, composition, conversation), and offers suggestions as to the emphasis which may properly be laid on each. Accuracy should be the principal aim throughout the course, and pupils should learn to respect the study of French as a serious intellectual discipline.
