Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Open Door to Cæsar: The Beginner´s Cæsar; Being Mainly the Simplified Text of the Bellum Helveticum of the Commentaries This book is the outcome of a close personal experience, both as pupil and teacher, of the difficulties attendant upon the initiation of classes in the reading of Cæsar. The late report of the Committee of Twelve of the American Philological Association but verifies a matter of general repute among the profession in these words: "Some opposition has been made to the study of Cæsar as being too difficult for students in the second year of the course. But to omit Coesar would be a retrograde step in the framing of Latin programs." But despite the fact that they hereby state a truth of common knowledge, the words exert a new and powerful force by the prestige of the honorable members of that committee. Educational influences which come from such men as constituted that board are resistless on whatsoever they may be brought to bear. Lovers of the classics, and especially of the cause of Cæsar for the service it has so long performed, need have no anxiety. For those influences are now being directed full in favor of maintaining, nay in advancing, the classics as essential factors in the education of to-day. And statistics witness the success of these efforts for classicism. Figures show that in the last nine years, 1890 - ´99, the study of Latin "has gained at a rate greater than that of any other secondary-school study." As a means of comparison, the report shows in Latin an increase of 174 per cent, in German 131, in Greek 94, in Chemistry 65.
