Gray Mason D., Jenkins Thornton. Latin for Today, First-Year Course

Revised edition. — Ginn and Company, 1933. — xxxi, 486, 74 p.This book is based on the recommendations of the "Report of the Classical Investigation." Its main aim is to develop skill in reading Latin for the sake of what the Latin says about the ancient Romans. It also emphasizes the value of Latin for English. In the belief that the best way to learn to read Latin is by much reading, the book presents a large number of selections for reading. Some of this material has been drawn, with the kind permission of Longmans Green & Co., Ltd., from F. Ritchie's Fabulae Faciles. Not all the selections need be translated formally in class. Some may be merely read at sight.All new words, syntax, and inflections are first met by pupils in the connected Latin of the lesson that they are reading. Thus pupils are made to see at all times how necessary a knowledge of these essentials is to an understanding of the language.
