A recent writer in the New York Latin Leaflet (Brooklyn,
Nov. 19, 1906) makes a helpful contribution to this much vexed
discussion by frankly recognizing that there are several more or
less distinct ends which the study of Eatin in our secondary
schools subserves. The fact that different advocates of the
classics emphasize, some one, some another, of the reasons for
studying Eatin is sometimes treated as evidence that no valid
and satisfactory reason for the study exists— a kind of logic
which should find favor only with those who are wedded to cutand-dried formulas and convenient catchwords in the domain of
educational discussion.
After enumerating some of the chief uses which are claimed
for Eatin, the writer just referred to observes:
But after all it
is by no means indispensable that we come to an exact agree
ment on this point, [i. e. as to the pre-eminent USE OF l a T in ].
So long as Eatin study does any one of the above things thor
oughly well and better than does any other study, it will retain,
and rightly, a place in our scheme of education. I f it can do
two or more of them thoroughly well, so much the stronger its
position.” This sounds, to one reader at least, like a commonsense view of the matter. But the author is also right in
insisting that, in order to make the subject yield its legitimate
fruits, the teacher must realize clearly what the most useful
results of Eatin study are, decide which of them are most at
tainable in the several classes which he has to teach, and then
shape his work consciously and intelligently toward securing
these results. Definiteness of aim we must have, whether our
weapon be a single-barreled one or a six-shooter.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

The purpose of the present writer is to stimulate to fresh
thinking along these lines by suggesting what seem to him
some of the ends most worth striving for in the teaching of
Latin in High Schools; and incidentally, what attitude the
teacher may reasonably take with regard to the question of
teaching thè subject at all.
i.
The first service of a study of Latin to the mind of the
young student to which I would direct attention is one which
the beginner himself, as well as the older person who has no
knowledge of the language, is, from the nature of the case, least
likely to appreciate. But it is the one which, I believe, the man
of mature mind, reviewing the question of what a rigid linguistic
training has done for him, generally thinks of first. I mean the
training in analyzing the fundamental thought-relations as ex
pressed in language. One awakens most fully to consciousness
of these thought-relations when he is compelled, as in learning a
foreign language, to abstract them from the form, to recognize
them in their essence, in order to reproduce them in other forms.
The more the foreign language differs in structure from his own
the better. The more highly inflected it is, the better. Latin,
differing widely from English, requires the student to so analyze
and grasp the relations of the thought with which he deals that
he can recognize them under, or reproduce them into these
quite different forms of expression ; and not only different, but
more concise and condensed forms. That is, he must recognize
them by a slighter external indication ; he does not have them
spelled out large, so to speak, by the use of several words, but is
dependent on a mere inflectional change ; he must have the
relation so clearly held in mind that a single inconspicuous label
shall suffice to call it up, quickly and surely, before him. This
is a very different thing from simply having to replace the words
of one language by the words of another, with little difference of
structure. While the close observation of forms trains the mind
for scientific studies, the close analysis of thought quickens the
faculties requisite for philosophical studies. Perhaps the best
thing which a thorough study of Latin gives the student is the
ability to read intelligently in any language— not to ‘ ‘ skim ’ ’ and
carry away the more or less disconnected ideas which separate
words and phrases suggest, but to grasp the organization of the
thought as a whole by a process of observation and conscious

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

analysis. This is the power which the lawyer or legislator
needs in interpreting the terms of a statute, the preacher in ex
pounding a text, the man of business in understanding a con
tract, the advanced student in following a scientific or philoso
phical discussion, the serious reader in any sphere of language
above the simplest.
2. A second advantage to be expected and aimed at is a
more obvious one and one almost universally recognized,— viz., the
help given by a knowledge of the Latin vocabulary toward an
understanding of English derivatives. A large part of our words
are of Latin origin, and this the less familiar part, the more
abstract part, the words which especially need defining. A
knowledge of Latin saves looking up and learning definitions.
And the mere dictionary definition will never give the accurate
notion which he has who has met the word in its context, knows
its various shades of meaning, its historical associations and
connotations. Many words represent ideas which are distinct
ively Roman and can only be carried away by one who has
been in contact with the Roman mind in its literature, has
breathed the Roman atmosphere.
The gain in knowledge of English derivatives is not measured
by the number of separate Latin words the boy knows. Single
roots become the parents of whole families of English words.
The student who knows one of these roots in the several forms
which roots often assume in Latin, and who knows the value of
the prefixes and suffixes commonly employed in the parent speech,
often commands at a glance the meaning of a half-dozen words in
English which the student, without Latin has to look up, as so
many different words, in a dictionary.
3. I would place next the opportunity which the practice of
translation from Latin and Greek affords for training in English.
By translation, I do not, of course, mean the same thing as read
ing. Reading is mental interpretation ; and as the student gains
command of the facts and laws of the language he should be en
couraged to read directly— to let the language speak immediately
to his mind, as it did to the original hearer or reader, without any
intervening medium. Nor do I refer here to that somewhat bald
and literal rendering of a Latin or Greek construction by the con
struction most closely analogous in English which the teacher
may require, especially in the earlier stages of the study, as a

THE NORMAL» SCHOOL, HERALD

practical way of keeping track of the analytical processes of his
pupil— as a guarantee that he has correct data of interpretation
and as a safeguard against mere guesses, more or less happy, at
the meaning. By translation, in this place, I mean a superadded
discipline, a distinctly literary exercise, in which we attempt to
convey as nearly as possible, the thought, form and total effect of
a Latin passage through the medium of English. Such transla
tion is, like that spoken of above, a test of knowledge of the origi
nal. But it is also a test of the student’s power of expression,
his command of resources, in English; and much more than a
test— it is a highly effective means of developing that power and
enlarging those resources. When the student attacks this prob
lem, it means that, for his Latin word, he must marshal the possi
ble more or less exact equivalents which English affords and
choose from these the one which most nearly hits the conception.
In like manner, in order to render the force of the Latin con
struction, he must think of the approximately equivalent con
structions and choose the one which would be most likely to be
used in that place by a writer of natural and idiomatic English.
And in all this he must seek to convey correctly not only the
exact meaning, but the general effect— the emotional and aesthet
ic elements, as well as those which appeal directly to the under
standing. In essaying this task, under competent guidance, he
will develop exactness, taste, and judgment in the use of English
and will catch some notion of what that elusive and indefinable
thing is which we call style. Of course, translation from any
language will serve these ends to a degree, but the advantages
will be greatest in translating from languages, like Latin and
Greek, which seek to[express by form the most subtle distinctions,
and whose forms of expression'differ most widely from our own. And
not the least of the benefits reaped from the study will be the clear
perception arrived at of the impossibility of absolute translation
and the immense importance of reading a literature in the
original.
4.
This brings us naturally to our fourth point. The crown
ing good of a knowledge of Latin and Greek lies, of course, in
the first-hand acquaintance afforded with the immortal literatures
embodied in these languages. It is needless to repeat here what
every intelligent person knows. Modern thought, modern
civilization, modern literature are rooted deep in the soil of

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

Greece and Rome. W e are largely what the past has made us.
To seek to comprehend the present with the door o f the past
barred behind us is to work in the dark and narrow hopelessly
our field of vision. No recognition of new factors that have
arisen, no pressing of the claims, however deserving, o f modern
literatures, can alter the plain facts of history. Nothing has hap
pened, nothing can happen, to weaken the claim of the classics.
Some sort of acquaintance with the Latin and Greek literature
every cultured man or woman must have, to-day, as always. The
only question is, shall it be a first-hand or a second or a third hand
acquaintance ? W hy a first hand acquaintance is vastly prefer
able has been partly suggested above. In the best translation
something, even of the essential meaning, is lo st; of the form
immeasurably more. And the mere element of time and atten
tion counts for something. The average person who reads a
classic in translation, apart from the specialist with a keen interest
in some particular subject, is not likely to carry away so deep an
impression of its content, to have it so fixed in his memory, as he
who has lingered long over it in the effort to; extract the meaning
from the original. Reading the ancient classics in translation is
highly desirable for those to whom nothing better is possible; it
is not an ideal with which one who has enjoyed opportunities for
a liberal culture in his early years should rest content.
Recognizing thus fully that an acquaintance with classic
authors is the richest fruit of classical studies, I have yet chosen
to rest my argument for Latin chiefly on the incidental advant
ages enumerated above— on what have been happily called ‘ ‘the
by-products” of the study of Latin.
I have done this because I am speaking primarily to high
school teachers, because I wish to recognize fully existing con
ditions, and to give advice that can reasonably be followed. We
have to face the fact that, with the claims of new and important
studies and the introduction of the elective principle into college
curricula, a far smaller number than formerly o f our students who
go to college will carry on their Greek and Latin studies there.
For those who do not, acquaintance with classic literature will
probably, though by no means necessarily, be limited to the por
tions read in the high school. And these portions, say many
critics of these studies, are so small as to be not worth consider
ing as a study o f literature. Lamentably small they indeed are.

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL HERALD

Even so, I am not at all sure that their worthlessness as a literary
study should be so readily assumed. There is a good deal of
wisdom underlying the old adage “ Fear the man of one book.”
There are many men now living who believe that a close study of
a few orations of Cicero, a few books of Vergil, Xenophon, or
Homer have been worth to them all the labor spent in learning to
read Latin and Greek. But, waiving this point, there is another
question that is worthy of serious consideration. I f we may not
regard our pupils as actual, ought we not to consider their inter
ests as potential, students of classical literature ? In view of the
great importance of the field, it would seem reasonable to give
high school students the preliminary instruction which will at
least make it possible for them to choose it when the time for
choice comes. We teach mathematics in the lower school, as we
should teach Latin, partly for the peculiar mental training it im
parts ; but we teach it partly also, if I mistake not, because we
recognize that a considerable number of our students will, in their
higher studies or life calling, wish to pursue subjects for which
mathematics form an indispensable preparation. If the chance, so
to speak, that any given student may hereafter elect a group of
studies dependent on mathematics warrants us in exacting of him
a prolonged preparatory course in that subject, why does not the
chance that he may decide to enter another important sphere of
studies, for which Latin and Greek furnish the best preparation,
warrant us in seeing to it that he acquires at least the elements of
those languages ? What fairness is there in sending him up to
the point where the main avenues of learning diverge furnished
with the key which will enable him to enter the 'portals of the
one, deprived of the key which is needful to admit him to the
other ?
But, if we are to abandon the theory of an all-around ele
mentary preparation in the great outstanding departments; if the
elective policy, already carried down from the graduate school to
the college, is to be pushed down into the secondary school; if
the teacher must assume the responsibility of ascertaining the
aptitudes and intentions of his pupil and shape his course with a
view to helping on his probable future studies— what then? The
very least he can do is, when he finds a pupil who seems destined
for professional— in the older and narrower sense of the word_
humanistic, or literary studies, to encourage and influence him in

THE) NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

every way in his power to undertake the study of at least one of
the ancient languages.
A s to which of these languages should be studied, where
only one is considered possible, the question is hardly an open one
under existing conditions. Common practice has fixed on Latin
as the favored sister, and the linguistic preparation of the teacher
to-day oiten comes in to confirm the limitation. The more prac
tical question then is, what are the claims of Greek as a second
ancient language in our schools? And this can be con
veniently answered by a comparison with those made for Latin.
As to the advantages enumerated above under the first and third
heads— which are naturally closely related— Greek and Latin
stand on much the same footing; though the somewhat greater
flexibility of the Greek, and its consequent power of expressing
by the form in, some instances, more exact shades of relation in
thought, give it some points of superiority. It is the second
consideration in the list, doubtless— the far closer contact of the
Latin vocabulary with that of English— which has inclined the
balance in favor of Latin as a school study. Y et the influence of
Greek even on the general vocabulary of English is by no means
inconsiderable. And in the technical vocabulary of certain de
partments of study the Greek elements are more important than
the Latin.
In respect to the fourth point— the study of the Literature—
Greek as the more original and, on the whole, the more significant
literature, has stronger claims than Latin. Indeed, it would be
easy to show that one can not fully appreciate the Latin litera
ture without an acquaintance with the Greek. To conclude,
then, with a word of practical counsel on this point also. I
should say that, where it is possible to have a course that will
admit both ancient languages and where a teacher of Greek is
available, school authorities should see to it to the extent of their
influence, that those students who seem likely to pursue literary
or philosophical studies in their later careers— and especially those
who plan to become special students or teachers of English litera l
ture— take a thorough preparatory course in Greek, and for
those who propose to work in certain technical lines whose vocab
ulary draws largely on Greek, a briefer course in the language
should be strongly advised.
In view of the great value of the study to these groups of

THE NORMAL SCHOOL, HERALD

students, a liberal attitude might well be taken in the matter of
allowing Greek to be given even to very small classes. The
number of applicants required in order to justify the formation of
a class in Greek in many schools is now so high as practically to
exclude the study.

Xecture Course,
The Lecture Course this year is a most fascinating and in
structive one. We have already had three lectures and the remain
ing three will be given during the present term. Dr. Schmucker,
of the West Chester Normal School, delivered the first lecture on
“ The Spider.” It was much enjoyed. The Doctor is an excellent
speaker and his subject matter was most pertinent.
The second lecture was delivered by Dr. Spaeth, of Prince
ton University. His subject was “ Tennyson.'’ Never has there
been a better lecture delivered at Normal. The eloquence of the
speaker and his graceful use of English greatly impressed his
audience.
The third lecture was given by Dr. Schmucker on “ Birds.”
It was simply fine. A t its conclusion, the audience applauded
for several minutes W e hope to have the genial Doctor back
again next year.

Dr. W . A . Eckels, who has been substituting for Dr. Gordinier during the latter’s absence, has been elected a regular mem

deep scholar, a thorough gentleman and a fine instructor. His
charming personality and his kindly ways have already endeared
him to the faculty and student body. W e feel that we are very
fortunate in securing the services of such a well educated, com

Dr. C. H. Gordinier has just closed a most successful season
as an Institute Instructor. He has been constantly engaged since
September. From all sections of the State come words of praise
for his good work.

a Charming iRecital.
The students of the musical departments under the direction
of Misses Matthews and Gray, rendered a most charming recital
in Normal Chapel on Monday evening, December 14. Each one
acquitted herself nobly and the large audience thoroughly enjoyed
every number. Too much praise cannot be given to Misses
Matthews and Gray for the excellent work that they are doing in
their respective departments.

With this issue of the H e r a l d , we vacate the editorial chair
that we have tried to fill for the past two years and a half. We
desire to thank our faithful assistants, our principal, our co-workers
of the faculty, the student body, and all who have helped us in
any way in the publication of the paper. We feel that if we have
pleased our readers in any slight way that it has been due to the
willing and excellent assistance and co-operation which we have
received.
Dr. Gordinier, who some years ago was editor, will resume
the position with the next issue, and we feel sure that under his
leadership the H e r a l d will improve and will be regarded as one
of the best school papers in Pennsylvania.
To all our friends and readers we say with deep feeling Vale Vale.
W e trust that every one of our readers will read carefully the
excellent article by Dr. Eckels in this issue of the H e r a l d . It
sets forth clearly and concisely the aims of the study of the class

on the subject and writes from years of experience and a deep
knowledge of these branches.
The committee to revise the school laws of our State has
completed its work. They recommend a great many changes,
all of which will tend to the advancement of our Public School
system. We trust that the Legislature, now in session, will ac
cept their recommendations and pass the new laws that are so
clearly necessary for the welfare of our schools.

Hallowe’en Social,
The annual Hallowe’en Social this year was perhaps the
most enjoyable one ever held at Normal. The first part of the
evening was spent in attending a county fair. The dining room
was transformed into a fair ground, and all the attractions of the
“ Midway” as well as the exhibits of a fair were presented. There
were fortune tellers, Mrs. Wiggs and her family, a trip along the
river Styx, fish pond, trained animals, red lemonade, pop corn
balls, taffy, and numerous other things to please the eye and de
light the palate. Rare old specimens were presented to view, and
merriment reigned supreme as the valiant lads and fair lassies en
joyed the attractions of the fair. The latter part of the evening was
spent in an old fashioned dance and everyone thoroughly enjoyed
himself.
The entire committee who had the affair in charge are deserving of great praise, and especially Miss Huber who had charge of
the decorations.

Thanksgiving Day was most delightfully observed at Normal.
The weather was lovely and all seemed to be filled with the
Thanksgiving spirit of praise and cheer.
The service was held in the Chapel at 9 o ’clock in the morning. It was a most helpful and inspiring one. The music, under
the direction of Miss Gray, was excellent. The sermon by Dr.
Martin was simply beautiful. His subject was, “ The Secret of a
Happy Life,’ ’ and his text 1st Peter, 3rd chap., 10-11 verses. He
said that in order to have a happy life one must have a sweet
tongue, a helpful hand, and a peaceful heart. W e regret that we
cannot publish the entire sermon. It was one of the finest that
we have ever listened to.
Dinner was served at 12.30 o’clock and what a repast! It
was food fit for the Gods. It embraced all the delicacies of
Thanksgiving and was served in five courses. We are told it
was the best ever given at Normal, and it was certainly worthy of
the Waldorf-Astoria or the Bellevue-Stratford. A ll thoroughly
enjoyed it and peals of laughter and animated conversation could
be heard at all the tables.

The day closed with a play “ Pygmalion and Galatea,” given
in the chapel, and presented under the personal direction of Miss
Alice K . Hartley of the department of elocution. It was the best
play we have ever witnessed at Normal. Each young lady did her
self proud and the costumes and stage-setting were magnificent.
Miss Hartley is certainly to be congratulated on the success of her
play. The large audience stamped its approval by hearty and
frequent applause.

Among all nations and in all times there have been beautiful
legends and glorious memories of a brightness that once shone
on the earth with the fullness of Heavenly light. It has always
been supposed that everything was fair and lovely in the fresh
morning of the world, and every voice sang for joy when the heir
of earth entered upon his great habitation. The sun shone upon
beautiful landscapes and gentle homes. The silent stars looked
down upon sleeping innocence and secure rest.
These faint beams of a glory that has passed away from the
earth are found among the traditions of all nations, are traced to
earliest periods of human history. That better state which seemed
so brief in duration, so far away in the past, is fully described by
the meaning of one word “ Eden,” a garden of delight, a Paradise
of loveliness and purity. So may the Y . M. C. A . in the glor
ious New Year before us, and the many golden opportunities in
store for us, strive to create an Eden in each and every life. East
term was a successful term in Y . M. C. A . work. Four Bible
study classes were organized and most all of the students are in
attendance. The work is progressing very nicely and we hope to
enroll new students this term. During the week of prayer we
had heart to heart talks by both the professors and the boys.
Rev. Heathcote, of Chambersburg, addressed us one evening in
an interesting manner, which was much enjoyed by all. He had
that straightforwardness of address that his words found their
point and made their impression felt. May we strive to develop
them as the hour glass is turning in new opportunities.

A s we stand on the mountain of time and look forward into
the glorious future with its promises, and then turn and take a
last glimpse of the fading past taking with it our lost oppor
tunities, let us take advantage of the opportunities as they
present themselves, cherish them, cling to them, use them to some
better end, so that when the bar is crossed our dreams may be
realized, and that we, too, may repeat with Tennyson :
“ For though from out our bourn of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my pilot face to face,
When I have crossed the bar.”

arbor 2)ag.
Arbor day was fittingly observed at the Normal. Trees
were planted by the Middle and Junior classes and interesting
exercises held. The Middle class first planted their tree. After
singing their class song, President Witherspoon delivered an ad
dress, after which Prof. Heiges, Dean of the class, spoke most in
terestingly. The class yell was given with zeal and then all
wended their way to the spot where the Juniors were to plant
their tree. Their exercises opened with the class song, then
John Reese made the address, and after the tree was planted the
Junior yell was given with fervor.

®ur alumni associations.
A proper alumni spirit is the glory of any school. But what
is a proper alumni spirit ? It certainly is not the blind partisan
ship that sees no good in other schools; nor the selfish jealousy
that rejoices in the misfortunes of a rival.
Neither is it the foolish pride that vaunts itself on the acci
dent of a good group of students happening to belong to one
school.
A s one may put it, it is not being devoted to ourselves as a
body, but being devoted to each other as members of one body.
This is the dominent note in our Alumni Association, as is shown
by their successful efforts to establish a Loan Fund to help
students. To use our advantages to help others to secure the
same advantages is the true fraternal spirit.

THE NORMAL, SCHOOL HERAED

The General Alumni Association meets annually during Com
mencement week, at the school. This meeting is year by year
becoming a more prominent feature of the Commencement
season.
The following Branch Associations have been organized :
Cumberland County Branch,
President— W . C. Bowman, ’90.
Vice-President— John Smith, ’08.
Secretary-Treasurer— Miss Jane McCulloch, ’99.
Adams County Branch,
President— M. J. Cook, ’95.
Vice-President— Raymond Pearson, ’08.
Secretary-Treasurer—-Miss Martha Witherow, ’88.
Franklin County Branch,
President— Prof. J. H. Reber, ’91.
Vice-President— O. H. Tittle, ’93.
Secretary— Miss Tulu N. Grove, ’95.
Treasurer— E. T . Bitner, ’05.
The York County Branch has met regularly and had a pro
gramme for seven years, but we have not received any report from
it this year.
The Bedford County Branch has also been established for
several years, but have sent no report of this year.
Next year, Branch Associations will probably be formed in
each of the other counties of the Seventh District, and the whole
work more completely organized.
It is capable of being made exceedingly helpful to the mem
bers by mutual aid in bringing suitable teachers into communica
tion with schools. It is also a pleasant means of retaining the
associations of school days.

/too&el School Entertainment
On December 11, at 2 P. M., the Model School held exer
cises. An exhibition of Model School gymnastics was first given
in the gymnasium under the direction of Miss Baldwin. The
various exercises were superbly rendered and showed the careful
training that Miss Baldwin had given.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL HERALD

After the gymnastics, Christmas exercises were held in the
Model School under the direction of Misses Harris and Wylie.
These were excellent, and reflect great credit on the two accom
plished heads of the Model School.

Mr. A . G. Crist, who was a student at Normal a few years
ago, has since taken a business course, has graduated, and is

Mr. J. A . Hamacher, of 1017 W. Nevada St., XJrbana, 111.,

W e take the following from a Franklin county paper:
A Franklin County native, Samuel B. Donnelly, on Tuesday,
Nov. 29, 1908, became Public Printer— the head of the United
States Government Printing Office— one of the most remarkable
and complete plants of the kind in the world. Mr. Donnelly was
selected for the important position by President Roosevelt, to
succeed John S. Leech, resigned, and there is believed to be no
doubt that his selection has the approval of President-elect Taft,
who also knows Mr. Donnelly and his unusual fitness for the po
sition. After a rest Mr. Leech will return to his former place as
head of the public printing offices in the Philippines.
Samuel B. Donnelly is well known, both to organized labor
generally, and to printers especially. He is in the prime of life,
having been born in Concord, Franklin county, Pa., the son of
J. Marshall Donnelly, 43 years ago. He learned the printing
trade in a country town in Pennsylvania, and, going to New
York took an active interest in the work of the organization with
which he had identified himself. It was Mr. Donnelly, while
serving as a member of one of the committees of “ Big S ix ,” who
unionized the book and job trade, and his efforts in that direction
were so warmly approved that he was subsequently elected presi
dent of that famous typographical union. He ultimately was
elected president of the international union.
Mr. Donnelly first came to the front in New York through
his secretaryship of the New York building trades. Following
this, under Mayor Seth Low, Mr. Donnelly was appointed a
member of the New York board of education and was reappointed
by Mayor McClellan. He also is a member of the civic federa
tion. When President Roosevelt wanted the labor conditions in
the canal zone investigated he selected Mr. Needham, of Wash
ington, and Mr. Donnelly as his personal representatives to make
the inquiry. Residents of Franklin county will note with pleas-

nre the distinguished honor conferred upon one of the young
men who went out into the world and achieved a full measure of
success.
Mr. Donnelly attended Normal in ’85 and ’86.
We are always glad to hear of the success of any old Normal
student and any one having any interesting information, will con
fer a favor on the Personal Editor by letting her know.
