The Road to Latin: A First-Year Latin Book

by Helen M. Chesnutt, Martha Whittier Olivenbaum, Nellie Price Rosebaugh

The authors of THE ROAD TO LATIN have endeavored to
present in this book a method of teaching Latin that is a
golden mean between the old and formal method of teaching
grammar, and the new and apparently haphazard
method , recently developed , of teaching reading . The
assumption that abundant reading with a superficial study
of grammar, mainly for recognition, can ever result in a
real power to read Latin has been proved to be unsound.
For many teachers, in their effort to make Latin interesting
to their pupils, have forgotten that the average pupil has
to feel a power of achievement, a mastery of what he is
doing, in order to be interested and to gain mental satisfaction.
