"Mr. Upson has undertaken a difficult task, as anyone who has

makes good the claim. It is practicable, in the sense that it
leads the student on by a smooth path, step by step, in a course of
200 lessons, till the Avhole ground is covered. There are exercises at
every stage, with well selected vocabularies.
The student is
stimulated, by the question and ansAver form of the lessons, to solve
difficulties, and he is made to feel sure of himself by revision of
it
work, test questions, and periodical Examination Papers
" The lessons are evidently drawn up by a practical educationist, keenly alive to the difficulties felt by the learner and skilful
in overcoming them. They also show an accurate acquaintance Avith
the Avhole extensive and somewhat perplexing field of Arabic
Grammar.

explanation of the Syntax, and the presentation of the laAVS of the

During the year
1908, the author
had the good fortune
to
be
enrolled as a student of the Rev. John C. Wilcox's new and then
comparatively unknown course of ''Hebrew Simplified," and the
thought passed through the minds of both that possibly sometime
system might be found suitable for the teaching
of Arabic. Nothing was, however, done at the time.

TRANSLATION:- ARABIC MILITARY
MUSIC.
The inhabitants of Mecca (''the honoured") were greatly astonished last Friday afternoon as they saw an Arabic Military Band
through some of the streets of tbe
Metropolis playing the merriest and the most elaborate tunes, all its
members being from among the natives of this country who have
like
become —in spite of their youth, and short time of learning
of Music passing suddenly
—
members
the
of
bands
in other countries
who have
spent
many years
in practising this fine art.
The distinguished and noble ^^Mahmud El-Qaisuni, Sub-Commandant, wrote informing us that when he proposed to form a
band for the Mecca garrison from young volunteers, he had no
teacher to carry it out. So he began in mid-Safar to teach them
how to read the notes, untill a teacher arrived from Taif and took
charge of this affair in the middle of the month of Rabi*-al-'Awal.

THE KING OF
SPEECH."
When these pupils had finished their soug, His Majesty the
King drew them near to him {lit to his thresholds) and gave
(delivered) them the following golden advice.
"My children, although you are to-day but babes, yet you will
become men to-morrow, and the future is in need of upright men

make a good job of the work which is committed to them,
and who will benefit their people (lit whiten their face) by their
good deeds. This can only be by cultivating morals first and
knowledge second.
Learning only exists for refining morals and
purifying the race (lit origins) and teaching (lit accustoming)
people to good conduct (lit walk) towards the felicity of this world
and the next. Thus learning (science) is a means to that, nothing
more. Now if you understand the rudiments of your religion and
study the life of your ancestors and your literature you will find in
that a lighthouse to lighten for you the path of felicity (i.e. here
and hereafter). And you will repeat your history, which is full of
excellencies (lit. things to boast about) and noble deeds. Truly your
country is in need of hands which benefit the world (lit. creation)
with w^hat God (The Truth) bestowed upon them of the earth's
treasures, its minerals, and its waters, and its elements.
Then take
a new step (make a new departure) in agriculture, manufacture and
commerce, for we are of those whose religion orders them to work
hard. Then be active and try to be worthy posterity of worthy
ancestry (good sons of good parents).
I shall seize, if God will, the (first) opportunity to visit you in
your class-rooms
