Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case for Latin in Secondary Schools This pamphlet is meant to set out, briefly and simply, for the use not merely of those engaged in organising, carrying on, and improving the work of national education, but of ordinary people, and particularly of parents, the case for Latin in Secondary Schools; that is to say, in schools which, as defined by the Board of Education] offer a course of general education suitable for pupils of an age-range extending from 12 to 17 at least. Three points should first be stated, and must be borne in mind in order to make the scope of what follows clear: I. What is dealt with here is the case for Latin. The case for Greek is a different thing, and is not dealt with here: it would only confuse the issue. For the same reason, the substitution of Greek for Latin as a subject in the Secondary School course, an experiment which has been advocated in some quarters, and has here and there been tried, is not discussed. "The classics" in the ordinary use of the term mean Latin and Greek, and therefore that term will not be used at all except where it occurs in quotations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Latin in Secondary Schools The keynote of modern pedagogy is a protest against tradition, whether in subject-matter or in methods of presentation. No subject of instruction has, when compared with other studies of the curriculum, so long a tradition behind it as has Latin. Inasmuch as every study in our modern system of education must, as is fitting, prove its ability to secure a definite result of actual worth, we shall first attempt to ascertain what credentials it needs to present to prove its right of admission as a subject of instruction. Unless a study can be correlated with something in the lives of our pupils - we are dealing with boys and girls of high-school age - then that study is useless; as idle as the inquiries of Tiberius at Capri when he wished to discover what song it was that the Sirens sang. It is true, that the mere fact of knowing something - Ah! la belle chose que de savoir quelque chose! - may enthuse a student for the moment, no matter whether the thing learned has some connection with vital matters or not; but later, when he perceives its isolation, the reaction may take the form of a violent protest against the whole subject of which the mental gymnastic was a part. Of this fact the writer can recall two instances, the one connected with arithmetic, the other with English grammar. His teacher in arithmetic insisted that in a case of division of fractions he must not invert the divisor and multiply, but work instead by the method of finding a greatest common divisor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Study of Ability in Latin in Secondary Schools This investigation was begun when the writer was director of the Bureau of Educational Research connected with the New Hampshire Department of Public Instruction. A preliminary test was given in 1916. Most of the data contained in the present study were gathered near the end of the school year in 1917. The scoring of the papers and the tabulation of the data were done during the summer of that year. The study was made possible by funds with which to maintain the Bureau, granted by the General Education Board, for the pur pose of carrying on scientific studies of educational practice. It should be stated that the General Education Board merely granted to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction the funds for maintaining the Bureau and in no way directed what investigations should be made. The Bureau acted entirely on its own initiative and accepts full responsibility for its findings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Latin and Greek in the Secondary School Along with this appreciation of the substance of Roman thought went an appreciation for the form in which it was expressed. The Spirit of the day was anti-barbarous to a degree. Correctness and elegance of diction came to be a passion with the Latinists of the time. This tendency naturally went too far, and we notice the beginning of an arbitrary exaltation of the Ciceronian manner of speech as the sole example worthy of imitation, - an attitude which unfortunately, despite frequent and vigorous protest, is still widely prevalent to - day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Latin Book The right of Caesar to occupy an important place in the early years of the Latin program of secondary schools has not been successfully challenged. His Commentaries will continue to enjoy the prestige which the traditions of centuries have assigned them. And rightly; for no Latin writer has sur passed this literary soldier in the composition of vigorous and luminous prose, which so admirably fits his work to be a medium for the presentation of the form and structure of the Latin language to the young student. But the right of Caesar to occupy not alone the centre of the stage but the whole stage as well, in the second year of Latin study, has been justly and successfully challenged. During the last few years a very general call has been heard for an easier, better graded, richer second year program in Latin than the study of Caesar alone affords. Not only have secondary teachers urged this change, but college professors and administrative officers have generally approved the plan, and accepted this more varied program in lieu of their long established requirements in Caesar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Latin IN the course of twelve years' experience in teaching Latin to beginners, the writer has become convinced of two facts: The first is that a textbook for secondary schools should be written from the standpoint of the secondary school, and therefore by a person who is familiar, from actual experience, with the condi tions of the classroom. Most of our textbooks for pupils begin ning Latin, however admirable in other respects, are written in such a way as to require for intelligent comprehension consider ably more maturity of judgment and understanding than the average beginner in Latin can be expected to possess. The second of these facts is that a book to be of the greatest help to the teacher, and thus secure the best results, should be so ar ranged as to enable the teacher to concentrate energy upon one thing at a time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Latin Composition: For Secondary Schools This book has been prepared with the [conviction that the primary function of Latin Composition in sec ondary schools is to extend and strengthen the pupil's knowledge of Latin grammar, and that this function is best fulfilled by means of a systematic presentation of the syntactical principles of the language. The following Lessons, accordingly, are devoted mainly to exercises in applying the principles of the various case and mood constructions Tecognized in our Latin gram mars. But in order that the writing of continuous 'discourse may not be neglected, passages of simple English narrative, involving the principles covered in the previous exercises, are frequently introduced.

This book was released on 2017-06-12 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Latin Book for Junior High Schools The development of the Junior High School has brought about a need for certain changes in the organization and methods of presentation of the subject matter of the high school course. Simpler forms of statement, more extended drill, and the elimination or postponement of some topics which have 'been included in the elementary work of the four year high school are necessary in order to meet the needs of younger pupils. Such changes are especially impor tant in the study of foreign languages because of the fact that less time has been given for training in English and for gaining familiarity with the general principles of grammatical usage. In the case of a great many pupils Latin is the first for eign language to be studied. It should, therefore, be made as fully as possible an introduction to the general laws of language. Furthermore it should be presented in such a way as to reenforce the pupil's knowledge of the essential facts regarding the structure and grammatical usages of his own language. Often the inflections of the Latin sentence ele ments serve to make clear syntactical relations which have been vague to the pupil in his study of English and which must be understood by him before an intelligent use of his own language or of a foreign language is possible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latin Composition, Vol. 1: For Secondary Schools, Based on Caesar The purpose of the study of Latin Composition is generally conceded to be, not to teach the art of writing Latin as an end in itself, but rather to increase the student's familiarity with the style, idioms, and vocabulary of the authors he is reading, and at the same time to afford effective instruction in syntax. It is for the accomplishment of this twofold purpose that the following three years' course has been prepared. The course is divided into three parts, designed respectively for the second, third, and fourth years of the secondary school, and is of the following character: - Part I is based on Caesar's Gallic War for vocabulary, idioms, and general content; but in syntax the exercises are made to conform to the systematic presentation of the subject which characterizes the lessons throughout. To take up constructions in Latin composition in the capricious order in which they happen to occur in the accompanying text has been shown to be pedagogically unsound and fatally weak in that the subjects are not presented in their proper order or logical course of development, and the student is unable to bring the disorganized bits of knowledge thus acquired into a strong and well-organized synthetic whole. The constructions have, therefore, been taken up in their grammatical sequence, and the exercises are preceded by appropriate grammar-lessons; next follow selected idioms to be memorized, and finally the sentences aim to give practical and illuminating expression to the syntax and idioms that precede.
