Excerpt from Newson's Second French Book One who has worked through the first book in this series will hardly need an introduction to the second. The page will have a familiar look, and the method of work will not seem strange. It is probably difficult for both teacher and pupil to realize that they have done so much with only the present tense. A German once said to me in connection with language teaching, A man can live and die in the present tense. The present tense may do very well for ordinary people, living in the plains, but one needs to mount higher and go deeper in order to get the best out of life. The different tenses with their shades of meaning and the subjunctive with its delicate implications lie ahead of, us. Through them we shall review the past, anticipate the future, and soar and sink on the wings of desire or fear. The pupil is going to feel more like a real French child in this book. He is going to read the story of a boy who is of about his own age and who has some strange experiences. He must make this boy's experiences his own, suffer with him for his mistakes, rejoice with him over his successes, enter into his play and his work. If the authors have done their work well, the book is not above the thought and experience of the pupil. He should be able to speak in the first person as well as to narratethe experience of some other boy. Pierre should not become Peter, but Peter, Pierre.
