9. Cicero.—Orations.
10. Xenophon.—Anabasis.
11. Cæsar.—De Bello Gallico (two hours per day).
12. Beginners in Greek. Harkness’s Text-Book, last ed. (Appletons.)
13. Beginners in Latin (THREE HOURS PER DAY BY THE INDUCTIVE METHOD, WITH CONSTANT USE OF LATIN QUESTION AND ANSWER).
🖙 Latin students must have the “Hand-Book of Latin Synonymes.” (Ginn, Heath & Co.)
🖙 Special rates will be made for correspondence pupils, and all are urged to attend.
I hope you will give us at Chautauqua zealous students, who will concentrate their work on Latin and Greek, and especially two classes: Teachers of Latin and Greek, and those who are absolutely BEGINNERS. A clear-headed student who doesn’t know a word of Latin, can, by devoting six weeks to it, FIVE HOURS per day (Beginners and Cæsar) or ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY HOURS in six weeks—quite as much time as the average school gives in one year—make decided progress.
It is thought that teachers of Latin and Greek will find of value not only the method, but also the inspiration which indubitably does arise when teachers gather.
It is perhaps hardly necessary to add that the use of Latin not only in elucidating text, but also in discussing syntax, derivations, synonymes, history, geography, archæology, etc., is an essential feature of our work in Latin. Worthy of the attention of teachers is the fact that our colloquial work is not the mere parrot-like repetition of phrases of the text.
