A Four Years' Course in German for Secondary Schools (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from A Four Years' Course in German for Secondary...)
Excerpt from A Four Years' Course in German for Secondary Schools The prime conditions of success in oral practice are an early start, immediately after the discussion of pronunciation, and, so far as possible, uninterrupted continuance. The more exceptions the teacher makes in favor of English, the harder he will find it to make the pupils speak German at all. If German is from the first the medium of instruction, the pupils will accept it as a mat ter of course and will soon take pride and delight in their speak ing ability; classes thus trained are invariably more attentive, alert, and interested than those taught by the grammar or read ing method. But if oral practice is introduced only spasmodically, or late in the course, the pupils will look upon it as more or less of an imposition, an added hardship, and this attitude on their part will tend to diminish even the very moderate results which such a method might otherwise produce.

Hugo Karl Schilling
Edit Profile
also known as
Hugo Karl Frederick Schilling
Education
After graduating from the Gymnasium in his native city, at seventeen he entered the University of Leipzig where he devoted himself to Germanistic studies, acquired a thorough knowledge of the older Germanic dialects, and specialized particularly in the field of Old English. Two years in France and Ireland, while they delayed the completion of his university course, laid the foundation for a thorough practical command of French and English. In 1885 he received the degrees of Master of Arts and Philosophiae Doctor at Leipzig.
Career
In February 1886 Schilling came to the United States and five years later became an American citizen. After a short period at the Johns Hopkins University he was professor of modern languages at Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio, until 1891.
In 1891 he went to Harvard University as assistant professor of German, and in 1901 to the University of California as professor of the German language and literature and head of the department of German. He organized the work of his department, built up library facilities adequate to the needs of graduate students. In addition he found time to give counsel and leadership to the teachers of German in the state and to assist them in establishing secondary instruction on a high level.
He was editor of Modern Language Notes, 1899-1901; a member of the editorial board of Publications in Modern Philology of the University of California, 1909-31; president of the Pacific coast division of the American Philological Association, 1907-08; president of the Modern Language Association of America, 1928.
Among his published writings are: Kinig 'lfred's Angelschsische Bearbeitung der Weltgeschichte des Orosius (1886); "Notes on the Finnsaga" (Modern Language Notes, 1886); "Das wort sie sollen lassen stahn und kein danck dazu haben" (1901) and others.
After he became professor emeritus in 1929 he devoted himself to the preparation of a Goethe dictionary, a work to which he brought the fruits of a lifetime of study and upon which he was engaged at the time of his death.
He died as the result of a cerebral hemorrhage that occurred while he was alone in the house.
