RotriinsL rai sign ck By Liz Armstrong The Bowmanville Rotarians were treated f0 a command performance of 'Rubra Cu- culla" hast Thursday at the Fîving Dutchiman. "Rubra Cucula?" No, it's flot an Italian opera, but if you gucssed thaf. you're pretty close. Actually, its the Latin version of a wel -known chiid- hood fairy tale- Littfie Red Riding Hoodd. Bowmanviile High Scbool, teaclier Bob Sheridan brought several of bis students along f0 illustrate fthe point thaf Latin is indeed flot a dead language, and their performance drew an enthusiastic response from the club members. Mr. Sheridan explained that the feacbing of Latin bas come a long way from the days when students were uequired to memorize endless noun declensions and irregular verb conjugations. Seven years ago (in re- sponse to a severe decline in enroilment) new and excîting approaches were being devel- oped for Latin sfudy in England. Educators feit thaf the fraditional approach was too tedious, and in order to stimulate greater inferesf in flic subjeef, The Nuffield Foundation sponsored and paid for the Cambridge Uni- versity Latin pro jecf. Several professors and high schooi Latin teactiers worked togeiber f0 produce a ne-w series of f ext books, slides and recordings designed (o inter- cst students ithe 13-17 age group. "The students are intro- duced (o flic members of a reai famiiy who lived in the talian towuî of Pompeit in 79 A.D.' Mu. Sheridan cx- plincd. Holdingup one of the xxell illustuafed pamphlets, lie ilohed that "the reading of lpatin is fauglit with the use of pictures and simple sentences mucli the same way (bat a Grade I st udent is tauglit f0 read Englîsb." Mr. Sheridan spent five day ai Brock University icaulng bow f0 use the oroject materials four years ago, and lie pohnted ouf thaf the students wbo performed "Rubra Cuculla" weue flie producfs of flic ncw instrue- f oni teclitque. fnstead of Dick and Jane' (and Saily and Spot), the Latin line-up features Caecilums, Met ella, Quintus and Grumio. "The main goal of flic course (s f0 teacli the, student f0 read Latin wîtb a minimum of memouizaf ion. In açiditon f0 rcading Latin, there is ample oppoutunity f0 explore otbcr aspects of life ho ancient Ifaiy," Mr. Sheridao said. He noted that some lime is spent each week sfudying flic geo- guapby onIltaly and -the contribution that Latin bas mande to flic Englîsb language. Befot c Grade XIII Depauf- mental iExams were aban- donned !0 ycaus ago, Latin enjoyed a privileged position in the high scbool curriculum. At fliat lime a language pro vided a studeîit with twu credits for unix eusity en- (rance, and unîversities sucb as Toronto and Queen's re- quired eîtlieu two Latin or two Math credîts before a student would be dccepted. However, after the Grade XIII exams were scrapped, students drifted away from the subject in large numbers and Latin was uemoved from two-tbirds of the secondary schools in Ontario. Coupled with the addition of several attractive subjects in the option sysi cm, the traditional acadcmic subject appeared to be losing in the baffle for survival. If was at this point in time (bat the Cambridge project came f0 the rescue. The comeback bas heen a great success. MVr. Sheridan point cd ont that there are now 151 students enroiled in the subject af B3owmanville Higb School. "The future neyer lookcd brighîer ...there are more students sfudying Latin at BHS. than ever bcfore." If appeaus, too, that fthc quality of the course bas flot suffered in ifs attempt to compete with some ý4 the appealing alternatives that are offered in the option system. "The ultimate goal of the course," Mr. Sheridan stated, "is to bring the student to, a point where lie can easily read the writings of the great Roman authors -- Cicero, Caesar, Ovid Vergil, êtc. in three years. The resuits of tbfý- Cambridge course are very' gratifying." Mr. Sheridan noted that he is frequently asked the ques- tion, Why study Latin? "f'ý algebra teacher and the che,>'" istry teacher are neveu as'ketx Wby study algebua? or Wby study chemistuy? And yet if we are talkiog about practical values, Latin makes at least as great a contribution as eîtheu of these subjects.' He poioted out that on any page of tlie English dictionary about 75 per cent of the words are of Latin ortgin. "A skifui teacher can not oniy use the Latin words to increase the cbiid's English vocabulauy but' also can make hlm more aware of words in an ioterest- ing way." He added that Latin cao aiso be useful in improv- ing Englisb spelling and grammar. The Rotarians were im- pressed witb Mr. Sheridan's comments and Pleased witb "Rubua Cuculla., Ai Witberspoon duly tbanked the speaker.
