Synopsis

Excerpt from Ovid

Notwithstanding this progress, there still remains much to be desired in the study of Roman life and literature as such. The study of the Latin language needs to be vivified, on the one hand, by a knowledge of the life and manners of those who used it in their daily intercourse, and, on the other, by a larger acquaintance with the literature which grew out of this life, and which has been preserved to us. It is granted that these studies should not and cannot displace the study of the technique of the language in the early part of the course but when it is remembered that a large percentage of secondary school pupils end their formal studies with graduation from these schools, it is plain that such a course should include a clear view, at least in the large, of Roman life and letters This can be gained, without too great encroachment upon purely linguistic work, if the teacher seizes such opportuni ties for instruction in Roman life as present themselves in the class work itself; and if, in connection with each author studied, some attention is paid to the style and contents of his works as literature and to their place in the great body of Roman letters.
