Author's summary.— Each teacher has his own ideas about vocabularies. On the basis of simple logic not all can be right. Full and complete vocabularies have no place in texts beyond the first year. Attempts to corral practical, working vocabularies of a definite number of words held to be an objective of dubious merit.
