Synopsis

Excerpt from The Study of Latin Prose Composition in the High Schools of Illinois: Thesis

It is an opinion gener ily held that Latin prose composi - tion is,if not the most poorly,at least the most unsuccessfully taught subject in the high school curriculum. Students coming to the universities and colleges from the secondary schools, except in very rare cases,seem,at best,to have the very faintest ideas of the principles of transposing English into Latin. While frequently the student from the high school is able to translate Latin into Rnglish,and has a Pair lnowledge of the syntax of the Latin language,almost invariably he lacks the ability '0 turn idiomatic English into idiomatic Latin,which is the surest best of the student's understanding of the fundaiental principles of the language.
