Extract

This Project, a textbook for college students of beginning Spanish, long talked about, has come a great distance since its inception in May 1956. I report in this paper its present status, and describe the pedagogical philosophy basic to its design. The Working Committee of six has profited all along the way from the valuable help and guidance of the parent Advisory Committee and from numerous special consultants.
