MARTIN Secretary of Publicity LATIN A dear young lady who calls her-| self “an writes in from the College of Mar- shall to ask if “Latin will help me, or will the time I spend on it be wast- ed?” In the first place, young lady, you should not call yourself an in- significant sophomore. All sopho- mores are significant; only freshmen are entitled to contumely. And as for the value of Latin, that depends upon you. If you have a gift for languages, dead or living, get as many of them as you can without too great a tax on the time properly to be devoted to reading, ritin, and rithmetic. The Three R’s, you know, are absolutely essential, and no amount of top education will com- pensate for skimping these mudsills of learning. As a rule, in this prac- tical age, a live language is more to be desired than a dead one. Modern French is more valuable than an- cient Latin, modern German more in- teresting and worth while than an- cient Greek, modern Spanish mor= pleasurable and profitable that an- cient Sanskrit. Nevertheless, Latin is of value to those in search of a satisfying education. Latin is easy for some, difficult for others. Those who lap up Latin like a kittie lifts the cream should go on with it un- til they can read the Roman class- ics in the original—granting that they will want to and are able to spare the time, which is doubtful. Those to whom Latin is difficult and uninteresting are wasting their time when pretending to study it, provid- ed they would employ their time in other studies, - Time spent on Latin in any case is better used than when spent in idleness. Some several practical people scoff at all education which has not a materialistic base, meaning a menetary value in terms of earning power. That is not the right attitude toward learning, al- though the practical or material should have weight in all close de- cisions. An erudite mind, a well- insignificant sophomore” stored memory, a familiarity with the great of all ages, are incomput- | ably valuable to their They have a value which the ma- | terialists never rightly appraise be- | cause they never understand it. State Press, himself a materialist and | practicalist, says this on his own | authority, although he will not grant it any of the insignia of a fixed prin- ciple. And so, dear young lady, if so | hap you aspire to be a stenographer | it is very much more important that | you learn English thoroughly than that you acquire a smattering of Latin. If you intend to be a histor- ian, an archeologist, a translator or| a cultured housewife devoted to cul- | ture for its own sake, you should | know Latin as adequately as modern | schools can teach it. Confessedly, | this is a poor answer to your pointed | question, dear girl, but it is about as | POSSessor. 3 i % ENROLLMENT AT A.
