Sinossi
Excerpt from Teaching High-School Latin: A Handbook
This little book represents a revision and enlargement of the Handbook for High-School Teachers of Latin which was published as a bulletin of the Missouri State Normal School, Cape Girardeau, in 1907, while the writer was connected with that institution as professor of Latin and Greek. That bulletin had a surprising popularity. An edition of five thousand was distributed within a short time, mainly in response to requests from all parts of the country. Even after a lapse of more than eight years, calls for copies are frequently received.
An earnest effort has been made to prepare a practical manual that will meet some of the immediate needs of the young teacher of Latin. The plans proposed represent actual experience in the high school, the normal school, and the college. They have been tested thoroughly and found effective. They do not represent a final solution of all the problems of the young teacher, but they do represent the best contribution the writer can now make to the cause of better teaching in our schools.
Some of the suggestions here given were made originally by Professor C. U. Clark, director of the American Academy, Rome, Italy. My obligation to him is very great. Professors G. J. Laing and F. J. Miller, of the University of Chicago, did me the kindness to read the manuscript and make suggestions which have added very much to the value of the book. Their help is fully appreciated.

It delves into the historical context of Latin's enduring presence in education, examining its value both as a subject studied for its own sake and as a tool for cultivating broader intellectual and personal growth.

The book explores the various benefits of studying Latin, from enriching one's English vocabulary and understanding of grammar to developing a deeper appreciation of Roman civilization and its enduring influence. Through insightful quotes from prominent figures in academia and industry, the author emphasizes the enduring value of classical studies for developing well-rounded individuals and fostering a strong sense of cultural awareness.
