' I LtUa la of Great Value to Ua--Uerelop- ment of Lattn Began la 300 B, C.--Dif­ ferent Stages. In acquiring knowledge there are no royal roads and no short passages which do not in the end prove themselves to be the longest end most round about routes. The Latin scholar, in taking ap the study of Latin, desires to con­ vince himself of the benefit he is to de­ rive from the study, and he does not obtain any knowledge foccept by diligent work. What is the study of Latin? Of what value is it to us? 1 will endeavor to answer, trying to make yon under­ stand the full value derived from its study. Latin, as we look upon it, is a school exercise, consisting of the render­ ing and translating of the English into the Latin language and vice versa. We are told the foundation of all modern languages is Latin. The growth of the English language in mainly due to the increase in learning and the mul­ tiplication of books. In the middle ages, almost all books were written in Latin. So important were the Latin writings that monks spent years in translating a single Latin work on phi­ losophy or religion and it was in this manner that so many Latin words found their way into the English vocabulary. Now let us turn to the history and ad­ vancement of this classic study. From historic records we learn that the devel­ opment of Latin began in 300 B. C, In this period all dialects were pushed aside and obscured entirely by Latin. Tho nothing has been satisfactorily answered in regard to its relation to other languages, yet the opinion is gen­ eral that its closest connection was with the Greek, the next being with the Celtic. Latin has attained the rank of a literary language and, owing in part to Roman conquests, extended itself not only over all Italy, but even over Africa and all western Europe, where it still holds ground, as it were, in the form of other tongues. Three stages of development Aw dis­ tinguishable in the history of the Latin langnage. The first is termed the archaic stage. Few of the character­ istics peculiar to this age have been pre­ served. Tbe most important work is that of the Twelve Tables, also called the Epitaphs of the Scipios. This peri­ od closed r';th the time of Emmis in in 239 B. C., and following it was the •atage of literary culture. Its best writ­ 's were Caesar, Cicero, Catiline, Sal- tost an(* Virgil, who contributed lit­ erary La!:n works in their most perfect state. Cicero and Caesar gave us the standard of prose, and if it were not for such writers we wonld nkow ver/ little concerning tbe history of their time, sue as the Gallic Wars and the Con­ spiracy of Catiline. Virgil was the greatest author of poetry, a good ex­ ample for hiB successors to follow. During the third stage, Latin became disorganized and mingled with other foreign forms and idioms. The English speaking people are skill­ ful in word maing, but instead of for .;ng words out of elements in their own language, they have gone to the Latin language to find names fcr many inventions, discoveries and the new terms which are constantly coming in­ to use. For example, fioreate---to be­ come adorned with flowers, taken from the Latin word florens. Ante bellum, meaning before the war, also poet mor­ tem, after death, both taken directly from the Latin. Many legal terms are derived directly from the Latin. For example, posse comitatus, meaning, in law, the power of the county or the citi­ zens, who may be summoned by the sheriff, to assist in suppressing'a riot or executing any legal process which is forcibly opposed. Its Latin derivation is from posse--to be able, and comitatus --company. Others are mandamus, alibi, alias, ultimatum and maximnm. Thus it is plainly seen how necessary it is for a student of law or medicine to acquire Latin, for in his chosen pro­ fession he not only finds Latin a hard rock, bat an essential one in the founda­ tion. Also those who study to be priests uinst have a thoro knowledge of Latin. Most of the songs sung in the Roman Catholic church, besides many prayers, are in Latin. Moreover, anyone who has the high school course of Latin re­ ceives more credit on his entrance into the college. Reviewing Latin literature we find that it is as abundant as a fruitful tree, but its value can only be estimated by one who sees it from the view of a Latin scholar. 80, whether we engage our­ selves in professional, scientific or man­ ual labor we must find great pleasure in a diligent pursuit of Latin. Tho this branch of learning may seem to many worthless, nevertheless it is of the greatest assistance to other stndies in educating the mind. For instance, scientific scholars, who never bad been previously trained in Latin, have profit ed so little thru its omission that they were incapable of ever keeping np in the scientific pursuits with their fellow classmates, who had been trained in Latin beforehand. Estimating the effects" of the study kuo uuum upon the branches of learning, it is found that the pupil who takes a course in chemie try improves himself far more wad has abetter Standing if he has any knowl edge in Latin previously. This shows you one of many important uses of Latin in the mind drill. This branoh of education is important to us, for it offers a great drill to the mind. Latin students acquire a course of drill that builds each year on what he has prepared the year before. If the course of Latin should at some future day be abolished, some substitute, which shall require this same kind of drill, should be offered. Besides the training of the mind, one's English is much improved. The Latin scholar possesses a larger vocabulary, and I may say, "Oar Latin class would say it to be true." More synonyms will suggest themselves and are always of advantage in a careful selection of worda To choose a word in Latin for the English meaning is like selecting a blossom from a large flower garden. Many points which were doubtful in the study of English grammar are made clear and fixed in the memory by learn­ ing the grammar of this classic lang­ uage. Furthermore, the habit of notic­ ing the spelling of words, whose ending indicates its oifice in the sentence, is ex­ tended to other reading and poor spell­ ing is thus improved. Again we find that oar English mas­ terpieces tery often contain allnsions to Latin authors, besides giving many of the Latin quotations, such as Macaulay's allusions, in his writings, to the Latin writers Catullus, Ovid and Claudian. Addison's gives many of the classic quo­ tations in the accounts of his travels. Often in newspapers, essays; $tc., Latin phrases are referred to. In Edmund Burke's Conciliation with American Colonies is the .following Latin quota­ tion taken from Horace's Ode to Augus- tns: Simul alba nantis Stella refulsit, Defluit saxis agitatus humor, Concidunt venti, fugiuntque nnbes, Et minax (quod sic voiuere,) ponto Unda recumbit." Which means in English* "As soon as the clear, shining constellation has shone forth to the sailors, tbe troubled surge falls down from the rocks, the winds cease, the clouds vanish, the threatening waves subside into the sea-- because it was their will." How profitable it is to anyone, who has had a school course in this classic learning, when reading newspapers, magazines, etc., does not need to use the dictionary continually, because the meaning of many words is readily known to him. So during my three years' ooai^e in Latin I have profited very much. Tho our class was small, it was mighty, and Mr. Rice can tell you of our excellency in handling the translations. As- the scholar proceeds in the field of learning, he will never regret the knowledge of so important a classic study as Lat% * Night on Bald Mountain. On a lonely night Alex. Benton of Fort Edward, N. Y., climbed Bald Mountain to the home of a neighbor, tortured by Asthma, bent on curing him with Dr. King's New Disoovery, that had cured himself of asthma.
