The First Year of the High School.

1. Beginners' Course.—For teachers in high schools and
academies, for college preparation, and for students of Latin at large.

This course is devoted to the Beginner's Book in Latin and concludes
with elementary Latin reading. It involves: the Roman pronunciation;
careful study of accent and quantity; thorough drill in declensions
and conjugations; the fundamental principles of the syntax
of the cases, tenses, and moods; accusative and infinitive, relative and
conditional sentences; the fundamental uses of the subjunctive; and
the main laws of indirect discourse. These grammatical principles
are illustrated in systematic exercises in translating easy detached
sentences into Latin. Translation into English of simple Latin prose
preparatory to Caesar.

Daily, from 8:45 to 9:45. Professor Montgomery. Cabell Hall,
Room 1.
