Author's summary.— Since the first thousand words of present word lists, based on the written language, have not proved entirely acceptable as a solution of the vocabulary problem in books for beginners, and since the standardization of vocabularies in use at this level is desirable, it is obvious that a compromise must be effected. To this end the establishment of a number of base word lists drawn from practical material is the first step. Such a base list is here presented together with a description of the manner in which it is evolved and a commentary.
