There is a controversy at present
in the columns of The Outlook among
the readers of that publication con-
corning the desirability of continuing
the study of Latin and Greek in our
colleges. The consensus of opinion is
decidedly in favor of cutting down the
dead language requirements, and
some prefer abandoning the study of
the classics altogether. The chief rea-
sons given are that during the most
vigorous and most impressionable per-
iod of the youth one is obliged to
spend years in these toilsome studies
which, though the mental discipline is
not denied, will be of no practical
value.
