"A Partial Inventory of the Ped- agogical Values of Latin," was the title of the paper read by Prof. Drake before the Pedagogical Society Monday evenisg. The following extract of the paper was furnished to the DAILY by the secretary: Education was originally mainly classical; even now the classics retain an honorable and important place in our curriculum. The advantages usually claimed for classical study by teachers of the classics are: disci- pline, culture, and training of the observation, and judgment. This last is the practical side, appreciated by the practical man, who sneers at the former as theory. On the other band, classical study has its disadvantages. In ths first place, memory is neglected. It is generally conceded that classical stu- dents have no memory left by the time they have reached their sopho- more year in the university. This is a result, partially, .of the reaction against the old memory-education. Both the old and the new view of education are false. It is true that a student has not made a subject his own when he has studied and learned the words; but it does not therefore follow that he knows a subject when he has gone through with the logical processes involved without remem- bering them. Further, the assimil- ating and coordinating powers of the mind are not trained by classical study. The best among the classical students find it hard to go through a book and get the salient points. Can we not, while retaining our grasp on what classical study does give us, remedy its defects? The only recent advance made in teach- ing Latin is embodied in Hale's "Art of Reading Latin." In this the at. tention is turned from the logical processes of the study of construc- tion, and stress is laid on the art of reading the language. But this is not sufficient. We hear a good deal about "enriching the classical course." This can best be done by emphasiz- ing the side of Roman life that has the most significance for the modern world. The aim of Latin study is the -ideal reconstruction of Roman civilization; the best instrument for this is the study of Roman constitu- tional antiquities. It is better than the study of private antiquities be- cause: Systematization is easy; mate- rial is at hand; preparation for teach- ing can be made in this country; itarticulates with our present classical course. Cicero is an excellent basis. As to method: A text-book, with proper supplemental helps should be used. It should be given its about 20 lessons, and probably best at the begiuning of the Cicero year. The story of Roman constitutional antiquties has a future; it is fruitful in suggestion for the student; it re- lates the ancient to the modern world. A NIGHT OFF.
