      A HANDBOOK FOR

      LATIN CLUBS

      BY

      SUSAN PAXSON

      TEACHER OF LATIN IN THE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

      OMAHA, NEB.

      D. C. HEATH & COMPANY, PUBLISHERS

      BOSTON   NEW YORK   CHICAGO

      Copyright, 1916,

      By D. C. Heath & Co.

      PREFACE

      The Latin Club in secondary schools is the result of the incessant demand that our Latin instruction must be vivified. Many teachers feel the need of supplementary work in their Latin teaching, but they have been handicapped because of a lack of material as well as a lack of time. This is especially true of the teacher in the small town. To help meet this demand is the purpose of this book.

      The programs have purposely been made too long for one session in order that the teacher may have some choice in selection, and that, in case all references are not accessible, enough may be secured to insure a reasonably varied program.

      I would suggest that the Club purchase as many Perry pictures and Berlin photographs of classical subjects as possible and that its members coöperate with the city library board for the purchase of such books as are essential, in case there is no school fund available for this purpose. Some high school alumnus in whose heart there is appreciation of Rome's gift to us might present a book to his Alma Mater. Another might offer some suitable magazines, properly bound.

      Of a Latin Club, as of most school work, it may be said that usus est optimus magister, and especially applicable in this connection are the words of Horace: Dimidium facti, qui coepit.

      Omaha, Nebraska,

      June, 1916

      THE VALUE OF LATIN

      Latin is the most logically constructed of all the languages, and will help more effectually than any other study to strengthen the brain centres that must be used when any reasoning is required.
