FIRST YEAR OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Beginner's Book in Latin: Grammar, prose composition, and reading—
five hours a week for one year. The Roman pronunciation; habitual observance
of accent and quantity; thorough drill in forms; the simpler
rules of word-formation and derivation; syntax of the cases, tenses, and
moods; accusative and infinitive, relative and conditional sentences, indirect
discourse, and the subjunctive. Translation into Latin of easy detached
sentences illustrating the principles of Latin grammar. Translation
into English of easy continuous prose based upon Cæsar and Cicero.
Constant practice in sight reading.
