Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The High School Course in Latin At the last meeting of the Wisconsin Teachers´ Association (November, 1907) a committee, appointed at the previous meeting, reported to the Language Section of the High School Department on the High School Course in Latin. The report dealt with the place of Latin in the high school, and the committee promised a bulletin on the teaching of Latin in the high school, to be published later in the year. The present bulletin is issued in fulfillment of that promise. The original report of the committe is here reprinted by way of introduction to the bulletin. Latin in the High School "From the first establishment of the system of high schools in the state, Latin has been given a prominent place in the course of study, at least in schools where the teaching force was strong enough to permit it. This recognition was based largely on tradition but it may be defended on other grounds. Latin long held the place of honor in the high-school course as the one subject which the student could pursue for four years and so gain the very valuable discipline that comes from continuous work along one line. This has been in the past one of the strongest reasons for maintaining Latin in the schools. "It may be said that Latin was granted this place of privilege through the influence of college entrance requirements, and in so far as this is true, it should have weight, for ultimately the aims and interests of the high school and the college are identical; they desire to furnish the best training for the mind. And the judgment of the college cannot, without disastrous results to those aims and interests, be entirely ignored in considering what should constitute the high school course. "At present, no institution in the state requires Latin for admission to the course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, though it is sometimes recommended. Latin is accepted for admission to all technical courses and is required for medical courses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
