Th .RAINING youth has always been a problem. Down through the ages the methods in education have undergone great changes. After all, education is training the mind, the spirit and the body. To obtain results, exercise is absolutely essential. The Greeks and Romans, after drilling students in the elementary subjects, trained their minds with philoso- phy, mathematics and languages. The writings of great men like Livy, Horace and Cicero are still con- sidered by the cultured classes masterpieces in diction. Later in Europe the liberal arts were taught ex- tensively. The classics — Greek, Latin and the old English — were pursued with tremendous interest not only in the universities, but also in the secondary schools. Today in America the Arts and Sciences are still considered pre-eminent for the proper training and development of the minds of men.
