High School Latin, Yes or No?
But Western Boy
Finds 1t BLOCKING
Practical Puth
BY TED TOWERS, Is,
Western High School

Latin Is dead language. 1t has
been centuries since Latin was used
as the language of a people. Never
again will Latin be the speech of
nation. Never again will Latin be
spoken as a common language.
Today, there are so very many
essential subjects the student should
be taught. Schools offer so very
many practical courses. Courses
which will some day enable the
scholar to make his way in the
world. However, a great many stu
dents are denied these courses
simply because they must cram up
their class schedule with Latin.
Drain on Time.
Latin Is the second hardest Ian
guage for the average student TO
learn, Greek being the hardest. Once
the student begins his course in
Latin he finds he must spend such
very long time learning cases. de-
clinationS, conjugations and many
other technical headaches. The
ceaseless work one must give to the
study OF Latin Is constant drain on
the time needed for other subjects.
Then upon completion of the
course, the course being from four
to eight years, what does one pos
sesS? Perhaps recitation of
Homer's ''Iliad" or some other bit oi
poetry. But does knowing this earn
your bread and butter? When ap-
plying for job is one asked for p
Latin recitation? Certainly not
However, had the student spent
some Of those many long hour:
taken by the study of dead lam
guage on shorthand or typing oil
mechanical drawing he might not
be reading the want-ad sections of
newspapers. True, the study Of Latin
due to the intense work required
does develop the mind into a quick
and alert piece Of machinery. But
there are easier. quicker and more
practical methods of sharpening the
mind and at the same time giving
the student a tool which he may use
in later life.
Others Views Cited.
I have talked with many former
Latin students who have studied the
language for as long as eight years.
All of these people firmly agree that
unless ones future is TO rely solely
or partly on the Latin language it is
a waste of time. Many of these for
mer students wish they had not al
lowed Latin to monopolize their high
school and college years. They admit
they have forgotten all or most of
what they slaved for so long-Latin
Schools today are designed to give
one a means Of support as we'll as a
background and education. If Latin
was not required by such a great
many institutions Of learning the
subject could be dropped by high
schools, and students would then
have chance to spend their time
on worthwhile courses.

Mckinley Girl Sees
Its Study as
Essential
By GRACE PREINKERT, II,
Mckinley High School.

In spite of the fact some edu-
Gators say the teaching of Latin
In high schools is unimportant. mod
ern languages have never ceased to
borrow from 1t to supply the de-
ficiencies of their own vocabulary.
Literature has been defined as the
best that has been thought and
said in the world. Thus Latin is
read today because Latin literature
occupies such a large place in the
best that has been thought and
said in the world.
One may say. why not read the
translations of Cicero, Horace and
Virgil?" 1t is the difference between
blurred photograph and clear
one. In one you see only the bare
outline, while in the other you see
the fine detail. It's the difference
between hearing play over the
radio and seeing 1t for yourself. The
modern world may profit much by
the experiences of these Romans.
1t cannot afford to disregard the
lessons they learned.
Dictionary DetOur.
A great many English words are
derived from Latin roots. BY learn
ing the meaning of the root word
you can avoid using the dictionary
so often.
Those who cannot understand
Latin references will have a tend
ency to avoid books which contain
them. BY so doing they will be
deprived of much of the best Eng
lish literature from Chaucer to the
middle of the 18th Century.
Training in memory and concen-
tration are derived from translating
language having the precise struc-
ture of Latin. The study of modern
languages does not give equal train
ing because these languages are too
similar to our own in structure and
expression.
Essential i'm Professions.
A study of Latin is essential to
those intending to become lawyers,
doctors or ministers. Students who
nave had such a background invaria-
bly, do the best work in the pro-
fessional and scientific schools.
These results are proof of its value
as form of mental training.
The girl who is preparing for life
in the home should know Latin.
1t is the wife and mother who has
the leisure for looking after the
literary training of her children ana
the cultivation of their tastes for
the finer things of life
America has yet to awake fully to
the Importance of classical scholar

Br Elena de Sayn.

1t is not always that great music
rs placed in adequate hands or
flows from under adept fingers. In
fact aspiring musicians believe that
to perform a great work all that
is necessary is to present It ac-
curately. But, when we are given to
hear truly great performances, such
as recorded by Arthur SChnabel,
Jose Iturbi Victor and Walter
GieSeking lColumbial here on re-
view. only a very mmuSical person
could fail to sense their superior
quality.
Such works as Bach's Italian
Concerto in F Major" rippled off
easily and joyfully by Mr.. Schnabel;
Beethoven's &C Minor Concerto"
performed by Mr.. Iturbi and the
Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra
with Mr.. Iturbi in a dual capacity
of pianist and conductor, and
Brahms Five Intermez2i' pre-
sented by Mr.. Gieseking. acquire
new meaning. Played tine world
over and found in the repertoire
of every serious pianist, these num-
bers receive for once the cOnSid-
Grafton they deserve.
The long orchestra introduction
10 Beethoven's concerto IS not unlike
a symphony movement. Mr.. Iturbi
fully prepares the listener for his
elastic presentation of the solo
part. The recordings of Bach and
Beethoven may be commended for
the condition of the instruments
used. The pianos are in splendid
shape and tune. The same cannot
be said Of the one played upon by
Mr.. Gieseking. In sustained pas
sages the tone of the piano lacks
stability and precision. The artist.
however, gives a poetic and a vital
reading to the five selections IN
question: "Op 118. No. 6, in E Flat
Minor; "Op. 76, No. 3, in A Flat
Major; "Or. rs, No. 4. in B Flat
Major: "Op. 116. No. 4. in E Major, "
and "Op. ll9. No. 2, in E Minor.
To the triumvirate Of great names,
affectionately known as the three
RS" two lesser ones, beginning with
the same letter, may be added.
Neither enjoys a universal popu-
laritv. In the case OF Hector
Berlioz it can be regretted because
the composer ranks as high as some
of his more fortunate contem-
poraries whose music is still played
a great deal. The B. B. c. SYM
phonv. conducted by Sir Adrian
Boult. extols the sweep Of the COM
poser's imagination in two over
tures. The Judges of the Secret
Court. Op. 81 and King Lear, No.
4" These records. issued by Victor,
deserve a frequent hearing.
