Excerpt from Teaching English to Aliens: A Bibliography of Textbooks, Dictionaries and Glossaries and Aids to Librarians It has seemed best to include few publications issued prior to 1900. Exceptions have been made in cases in which the total literature is scant, and in those which present some special claim for perpetuation in meeting the new and difficult demands of modern teaching. It would be not only a thankless but Quixotic task to attempt to evaluate the texts herein listed. Just as no two classes of pupils present the same needs and no two teachers agree fully on the details of teaching, so no two textbooks may properly be made the subject of comparison and criticism as to their relative worth. The efl'ort in compiling this list has been to give the bibliographical data as fully as possible, and when practicable to add some descriptive comment in order that the educator might be enabled to select wisely and Without undue effort the particular texts which would meet his special needs.
