Synopsis
Latin in the high school builds the mind for life, not just for exams.
In Wisconsin’s early discussion of Latin’s place, the subject is shown as more than a four-year track. The book argues for language study as a vital discipline that supports English, sharpens observation, and broadens thinking, linking classical study to modern life and lifelong usefulness.
- Explains why Latin has been valued in high schools and how it complements English instruction
- Describes how Latin training develops precise word use, careful discrimination, and clear expression
- Outlines effective first-year methods, including translation, composition, and vocabulary work
- Highlights later years with Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil to deepen language mastery and cultural understanding
Ideal for students and teachers exploring how a classical language can strengthen thinking, reading, and writing across the high school years.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book establishes a case for the continuing prominence of Latin in secondary education in the United States. The author sets out to prove that Latin retains its value as a tool for developing sound, logical thinking by training the mind to deal with the subtleties of language. The text offers a detailed syllabus for teachers of the language, with an emphasis on proper pronunciation, sentence structure, and the translation of forms. The book also stresses the literary value of works by Cicero, Virgil, and Caesar, which offer unparalleled insight into the history of Rome, its rulers, and the lives of ordinary citizens. In addition, the author argues that the examination of Latin grammar, rhetoric, and semantics enhances students' understanding of the nuances of English. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
