Athens ReturnIng 10 ClassIeal Greel,.


II once had chat with the late Profess.
or Sophocles, the famous native Greek pro-
fessor Of Harvard, on the subject of the
pronunciation Of our language as taught
in America said the Greek consul, Mr.. ID.
II. Timayensis, recently 81 asked him why
he taught pronunciation which he knew
was not right
II doesn't make any difference what
pronunciation We teach he replied, be
cause these boys will never know anything
anyway.
THE Germans have been the most con-
scientious and thorough students Of the
ancient Greek language" continued the
consul. 1T is but fair to say however, that
a very learned Greek lady, who has been in
this country studying your institutions,
says that she found a class Of girls in Wei
lesley college who were better versed in
Greek classics than the girls in our own
schools in Athens. l should say they must
be very good, then, for great revival in
Greek classical study has taken place with
in n few years. The spoken language is
conforming more and more closely to clas-
| steal standards. Foreign words that have
crcpt into the language are being cast
aside. / noticed the increased purity OF
the language when l returned to Greece
and met some Of my university classmates
| They were following the classical Greek 81
