Our foreiathcrs ran fearfully to Latin mot

expected to learn To read Latin, though he
might not know low to use good English.
Latin n,ottocs were put Upon city and State
seals, as q matter Of course, The National seal
of the United States IL thus ornamentcd. But,
fortunately, the n1ania for Latin did not spread
greatly, 50 that only fifteen Of the state seals
have Latin notices; and It Is safo TO say tliut,

1ttccn would show their good modern taste by
leaving out the Latin. Owing to this weakness
