A Slap at Latin.

Why is Latin taught in the schools
Because some foolish person taught it
many years ago, and other foolish per-
sons have been following in his foot
steps Why don't teachers adopt new
plans when they discover that old ones
are not satisfactory? You will find prog
ress everywhere except in the schoOlS.
There is No more excuse for teaching
Latin than there is for teaching for
tune telling. Teachers have an excuse
for teaching Latin. which they learned
from other teachers, but there is nothing
in it. Latin in the schools is a useless
relic that should have been disposed of
years ago. At least half the stuff taught
in the schools is useless and takes UP
time that should be devoted to practical
studies.
