Some New Latin Books Some of the issues of the new Gildersleeve-Lodge Latin series Gildersleeve's Latin Grammar, School Edition; Bain's First Book in Latin; Tunstall's Cicero's Orations; Anderson's Selections from Ovid; Latin Composition, by Gildersleeve and Lodge,for first year in college or highest classes in secondary schools; Moore's Latin Prose Exercises, - for first year in college, etc. How do these books stand the test of use in the classroom? W. GORDON MCCABE, Head Master of the University School, Richmond, Va., writes of the Cicero: "My deliberate judgment is that it is the best working edition, English or American, of Cicero's Orations that we now have. "It is an honest piece of work from beginning to end, and evidences on every page a delicate mastery of the niceties of Latin syntax, happily blended with a keen insight into the practical needs of an intelligent and earnest student. It is, in a word, the work of an accomplished Latinist, who is, at the same time, a teacher of the first rank. "The highest proof I can give you of the sincerity of my appreciation of your work is my decision to adopt it here in preference to the excellent edition of the Orations which I have been using for several years." This series is under the editorial supervision of Basil L. Gildersleeve, Professor of Greek, Johns Hopkins University, and Gonzalez Lodge, Professor of Latin, Bryn Mawr College; with the co-operation of Moses S. Slaughter, Professor of Latin, University of Wisconsin, and Thomas Fitz-Hugh, Professor of Latin, University of Texas. CORRESPONDENCE INVITED.

IE CHILDREN have to be told the same thing many times in order to have it impressed upon their memory; others remember it after being told once. The mind can be trained as well as the hand or any other part of the body. We wish to impress upon your mind this fact. Dixon's Pencils are the best school pencils made. They are the result of thirty years of careful study in pencil making. A word to the wise is sufficient. JOSEPH DIXON CRUCIBLE CO., Jersey City, N. J. |
