Excerpt from First German Reader on the Cumulative Method
One of the designs of the story is the bringing out of prominent grammatical features, such as different classes of verbs, force and value of prepositions, use of adjectives, presentation of lucid syn tactical adjustments, and enough of idiomatic expressions to pave the way into a more natural flow of the language, and thereby wean gradually from a too English literalness.
In carrying out this plan, few will understand the necessary fortitude to hold strictly to the line of work marked out, and especially to its leading feature, simplicity; for even if memory of boyhood serves well, language is apt to have outgrown its adaptation. If it is made possible for the pen to avoid the witchery of a higher diction and of more congenial expres sions as too difficult and unsuited to the purpose, there is a powerful influence that it would wish to escape. It is the dread of the invisible hasty critic or professional pedant, looking over your shoulders, to whom you would fain acknowledge fealty, and placate for dealing in manifest trivialities. They, very often, only apply their scalpel to style and presentation, irrespective of purpose and matter. Must it not be ascribed to lack of courage to overcome these trammels that so much of juvenile literature fails in its object?
