cally negligible, as the Red sox need

II one does not study things because
they train the mind" why, then,
should one study them2 The answer
is extraordinarily simple. One studies
things because they serve purpose.
| do not say, mark you, useful pur-
pose, but n purpose-a valid purpose, a
genuine purpose, not make believe
purpose.
Mental discipline is not valid or
genuine purpose-it's make believe.
Meanwhile the number of purposes, OF
genuine, valid purposes, is simply In
finite. Learning to read Vergil Is, Of
course, just as valid purpose as learn
ing to play symphony or learning to
bake pumpkin pie. The test is, how
ever, not, Did the student get mental
discipline? but Can he read and en-.
Joy Vergil2 Can he play the symphony
VIII some one eat the pie2
And because people rarely care to
read Vergil, because almost none of
the thousands who study Latin ever
can or do read Vergll, therefore, In 80
far as they are concerned, studying
Latin has no purpose and cannot be
defended as mental discipline.-Abra.
ham Flexner In Atlantic Monthly.
