Excerpt from Freudvoll Und Leidvoll: Short Stories by Such Noted Writers of Our Day as Emil Peschkau, Ernst Von Wildenbruch, Heinrich Seidel, Rudolf Baumbach, Helene Stökl, and Helene Von Götzendorff-Grabowski
The short story forms a characteristic feature of the liter ature of our time, both in this country and in Europe, and the demand for such literary productions. Is still on the increase.
Unfortunately, this highly esteemed branch of literature has hitherto been neglected as a means of instruction in modern languages in our schools and colleges, where, as a rule, the student of either German or French goes directly from the Reader to the Classics, thus losing all chances to become familiar with and enjoy these treasures of modern literatures which, more than others, represent scenes from actual life, con sequently offering a large and useful vocabulary.
