8. THE STUDENT IS NOT EMBAKRASSED O* DISTRACTED. The personality of a language instructor is a detriment 4 to teaching, especially in class work. Many students are so embarrassed before their teacher that they will not T • ’ attempt to pronounce the more difficult foreign sounds, and peculiarities in the instructor’s dress or manners distract his attention and hinder his progress. Our students when listening to the instructor’s voice on the Phonograph, by means of our improved hearing tubes, afe isolated from other sounds ; their undivided attention is then, necessarily, * . * a i • given to the lesson. In the privacy of an apartment, any person, however easily disconcerted, can imitate the in- structor’s voice without embarrassment, and mail us the records of his pronunciation for criticism and correction. 9. WRITTEN EXERCISES FACILITATE LEARNING. In the many Courses taught by our Schools., the Lang- uage Courses offer the best opportunity for the student’s benefit in writing answers to examinations. In other Courses the instruction and correspondence are conducted entirely in English, with which the student is more or less ■familiar; in the Language Courses, all of the natural benefits of correspondence work have added to them the student’s practice in foreign expression, and -this requires .him to write and think in the language he studies.
