At the educational conference held last
Thursday and Friday with the University
of Vermont, Principal f. g. Ham opened
the discussion on the subject OF Virgil and
Ovid. lie favof ed the study OF Cicero be-
fore that of Virgil, because he thought the
reading Of the prose of the second year
should be reinforced by another year
along similar lines before the reading Of
the verse OF Virgil. A change from prose
to difficult verse at the end OF the second
wear. and a return to prose in the fourth
wear is likely to unsettle, in large meas.
ure, the pupils knowledge. The study OF
Ovid in the course is desirable and the
myths are Of great value. The speaker be-
lieved that under the present system the
student leaves his Virgil with too imper-
feet realization OF his author. ms u
