[*] Wilkins, Augustus Samuel. Roman education. [*]60c. Macmillan.
“In ninety-two pages the whole system of Roman education is presented.... Dr. Wilkins divides the story of Roman education into two periods: the ‘purely national stage, when as yet there was no outside influence,’ and the effects of Greek influence from the middle of the third century, B.C. onwards on ‘the distinct departments of literary—or what we might call now secondary—education,’ and in the higher training of rhetoric and philosophy.... In four chapters, ‘Education in the ‘early republic,’ Education under Greek influence,’ ‘Elementary schools and studies,’ and ‘Higher studies—rhetoric and philosophy,’ he gives all the information that can be possibly discovered on record and the natural inferences from it.... The final chapter deals with the Endowment of education in ancient Rome.”—Acad.
