Archaeologists are finding their work
unusually productive of satisfactory re-
suits lately. Not only "Logia," but
various fragments of the great classic
authors are found among the dis
coveries in the papyric storehouses
recently unearthed by Hunt and Cren-
fell in lower Egypt. Among these are
part of hitherto unknown drama of
Sophocles, portions of treatise by Aris-
totle, hitherto known only by its title, and
ninety lines Of an unknown ode by Pindar.
A very important find is a Latin manu-
script containing an epitome Of twelve
books of Livy, eight of them being among
the much-regretted lost books. Pere Scheil.
who is digging up Babylonan cities. has
found the little city, Sippora Of the Plains,
to be surrounded by good-sized schools. He
has unearthed one schoolhouse of seven
rooms, one room of which contains many
of the clay tablets which were used in
Babylon for books and paper. They were
neatly arranged in order, and many of
them were unbroken. Some were evident
ly textbooks. containing hymns, meteor
illogical lists, word lists. problems in
arithmetic or forms of contracts. Others
were primers. Others were evidently mod
els for copying A much larger number
were covered with the work of the pu-
pills, many of them showing corrections by
the schoolmaster. All that were dated at
all were in the reign of Hammurabi,
monarch who fourished 200 years before
the Christian era. So that this school,
so modern in its methods and course of
study. is just 1900 years old. Pere Scheil
was able to reconstruct pretty fairly the
programmes of work followed in teaching
the three RS to the little Babylonians
1000 years ago.
