" The need of a practical French Course combining the essentials of the Direct Method" with sound grammatical teaching has long been felt, and has been lately emphasized by the Reports on the Teaching of French issued by the Board of Education and the London County Council respectively. The "Direct Method" alone has been found to leave the pupils ill-prepared for precise expression or exact renderings in translation, and generally wanting in an exact knowledge of French. Mr. Groves's Junior French Course, now issued, undoubtedly demands the consideration of all Modern Language teachers, for it will be found to combine all that is useful of the "Direct Method" with systematized grammatical instruction, largely by process of induction.
