Easy German Storiesw. p . x

P R E F A C E

T H E following shortstories are edited expressly for

ea rly and easy reading. Their charming s implicity of

d iction andthoughtmakethem especially suitable forreading in secondary schools .

T othis endthe grammatical and syntactical notesa re cop ious and full . No apology is required forthef requentreference to rules prev iously stated, since

repetition is one ofthe mosteffectua l modes of im

p ressingthem onthe mind ofthe beginner .

T he editor, however, believes thatthe book could

a lso be used very profitably inthe firstyear of college

work. Th e reading is sufficiently easy forthe beginnerto graspthe meaning withoutmuchtranslating. Thiswill developthe native fee ling forthe language knownas the Sprachgefii hl . Ita lso conta ins many idioms

common to the language and indispensable to thestudent. F urther

,the textwi ll furnish splendid

material for conversations and exercises in composition .

F orthis purposes questions and paraphrases for retranslation have been added . T he English sentences are

simple and easy, yetprogress ive .

The author ofthese stories , F raulein C. E . R ies , was

born in Konigsberg, P russia , in the year 185 5 , and

resides in Munich, Bavaria . T he stor ies in this

P R EF A CE

volume aretaken from her D er Schnitter and ande r e

Mc’

vellen vom Genfer S ee, 1897, Mc'
