It will be very useful in everyday life, because it is conducive to a better understanding of English and to increased ability to speak and write it effectively, a clearer knowledge of grammatical relationships, which will make easier the learning of modern foreign languages, a knowledge of the source of French and Spanish, which will add to the understanding of and the interest in these languagesgaknowledge of many of the technical words which l11llSf be used in professional work, a knowledge of the manner in which onc of the most famous peoples of ancient times expressed their thoughts, and of the influence of their language and civilization on our own. Latin is not dead g it lives in the romance languages and in a majority of our English words. Mrs. Donley, Latin lNlrs.
