Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Present Status of the Study of Latin in the High Schools of Illinois: Thesis The relative position which the study of Latin holds in the curricula of our high schools is a subject of deep in terest not only to students and teachers of Latin, but also to educators in general. The great decrease in the percentage of students taking Greek during the last twenty years has no doubt convinced many that Latin would sooner or later follow the same course. Both are dead languages, both are highly in flected and for that reason quite difficult. So it might seem quite probable to some that Latin would lose its hold in the same manner as Greek. But those who have so reasoned, have done so without a thorough investigation of the conditions. They have over looked one fundamental fact, one distinct difference between the two languages viewed with reference to our own the cor relation and interdependence of the Latin and the English. Such a relation between Greek and English is comnaratively slight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
