Whether or not Latin should be taught

two sides, but we have no doubt that the
stronger side is that which maintains
that it is good thing for pupils to know
something Of the langut ge on which all
the varying tongues Of Europe are to a
great degree based. Whether or not
Latin should he taught In our public
schools is also question about which
men may reasonably differ so long as It is
a mere abstract question, but when any
considerable number OF the people send
ing their children to the public schools
ask that their children shall enjoy an ad-
vantage ooiainable In private schools,
through the study of a language very
important in many professions, il sayors

assertion that tan insane, barbarian

should have retracted 1t with cheerful
