THE LATIN LEAFLET Tournament Number for 1941-1942 THE TEXAS STATE JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE Nec tam aversus equos Tyria Sol iungit ab urbe. The first annual meeting of the Texas State Junior Classical League, held at The University of Texas, June 10-12, 1941, was a most enthusiastic gathering. The greetings from the National Junior Classical League were distinctly heartening. We learned that of some thirteen thousand members of Junior Classical Leagues in the United States and Hawaii, thirteen hun­dred, or ten per cent, are in Texas, the only State to have a State organiza­tion. May the League continue to grow in membership, enthusiasm, and accomplishment! TEXAS STATE JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE CONVENTION Two hundred thirty-nine representatives of twenty-six Chapters of the Texas State Junior Classical League attended the first annual convention on The University of Texas campus in Austin, June 10, 11, and 12. Chapters from the following high schools were represented: Polytechnic, Fort Worth; Wills Point; Dallas Technical; Paschal, Fort Worth; West Junior, Waco; Cleburne; Sweetwater; Longview; Forest Avenue, Dallas; Waco Senior; Goose Creek; San Angelo Senior; Port Arthur; North Junior, Waco; Granger; Ball, Galveston; Austin Senior; Ysleta; St. Ignatius, Fort Worth; University Junior, Austin; Daggett Junior, Fort Worth; Longview Junior; Marshall; Athens; Bonham; and Albert Sidney Johnston Junior, Houston. Tuesday morning, June 10, the chief feature was a round-table discussion on the topic "Latin Week." James Leo Garrett of Waco, the president of the Texas State Junior Classical League, presided. This was followed by a tour of the Main Building of the University in groups conducted by mem­bers of the University staff. Two hundred and thirty representatives attended the get-acquainted luncheon held in the Union Building on The University of Texas campus Tuesday. Dr. W. J. Battle, Professor of Classical Languages in the Uni­versity, gave the invocation. Dr. H. T. Parlin, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, extended greetings from the University. Virginialee Steven­son, representative of the Austin Chapter, welcomed the visiting representa­tives. The response was given by Gloria Walker, a member of the Port Arthur Chapter. The main speaker was David S. Switzer of the Dallas Morning News, who emphasized the fact that every member of the Junior Classical League should be a missionary to promote the study of the classics. Dr. Walter H. Juniper, head of the classical department of Baylor University, Waco, led the group in singing popular and patriotic songs that had been translated into Latin. Dr. H. J. Leon, Associate Professor of Classical Languages in the Uni­versity, gave an illustrated lecture on "Outdoor Sports of the Romans" Tuesday evening. Suggestions from chapters concerning the program of work for 1941-1942 were made Wednesday morning. The Committee on Program of Work recom­mended six suggestions which were adopted. The recommendations were: continuation of Latin Week the second week after the Latin Tournament, pub­lication of a J. C. L. paper four times yearly, a display of Latin work at the Texas State Teachers Association convention and at the Junior Classical League Convention, securing State-wide and local publicity, presentation of an award to the chapter securing the greatest enrollment in Latin on a percentage basis, and the presentation of an award to the one who composes the best official song for the Junior Classical League. Wednesday afternoon was devoted to a drive around Austin under the direction of the Austin Chamber of Commerce, followed by a swim at Deep Eddy. Using colored slides from his large collection, Dr. Battle illustrated a talk on "Greek and Roman Birds" when members assembled for the Wednes­day evening session. A business session was held Thursday morning. Reports were given by special committees on Progress, Resolutions, Program of Work, Budget, and Constitution. Joy Daye, of Forest Avenue High School, Dallas, read the constitution, which was adopted. Mimeographed copies of the constitution were given to all delegates. Officers were elected for 1941-1942, as follows: Jimmy Fogartie of Longview, president; Jean O'Dell, of Forest Avenue High School, Dallas, vice-president; Nancy Anderson of Wills Point, secretary; and Dimples Ham­ilton of Goose Creek, treasurer. The sponsors are Mrs. Marian C. Butler of Waco, president of the Texas State Classical Association; Miss Nell Ingram of Longview, Miss Lourania Miller of Dallas, Mrs. Auvaline M. Provence of Wills Point, and Miss Hattie Lucile Paxton of Goose Creek, Latin teachers of the officers; Mrs. M. L. B. Shepard, member of the Classical Department of The University of Texas; Miss Mary Erma Rosson of San Angelo, high-school Latin teacher; and Miss Doris Thompson of Waco, public relations sponsor. The thanks of the League were voted to the staff of the University for the use of its buildings and their help in making the necessary provisions for the meeting, and to the Austin Chamber of Commerce for its kindness for arranging the drive and swim Wednesday afternoon.

A Latin Institute, yes; but whoever heard of a whole six weeks' discussion course on Latin problems? We hadn't, but we tried the experiment at The University of Texas this summer, and we are still talking with enthusiasm about it and about what we are going to talk about next time. The topics planned for high-school teachers and led and discussed mainly by them, were of a nature to make everyone feel free to question, to inter­rupt, to suggest. All in all, aided by a wealth of reference material and stimulated by a splendid exhibit of high-school work, the class surveyed the whole field of Latin problems in their discussions and papers, offered prac­tical solutions to some of them, and decided as a group to dig in for the winter on the hardest problem of them all-the difficult second year. The course, Latin 220, carried two advanced credit hours in Latin or in Education, and had a class enrollment of twelve and numerous visitors. The program follows: CONFERENCE COURSE ON THE TEACHING OF LATIN UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, JUNE 5-JULY 16, 1941 Director_____________________ __________________ ___________ _____ _________________ Mrs. Minnie Lee Shepard Topic Leaders from the University Summer School Staff: Dr. W.

The consulting architect is Paul P. Cret of Philadelphia. The plans of individual buildings were worked out under his direction by associate architects. Many of the decorative details were suggested by the Chairman of the University Building Committee, Dr. W. J. Battle, who is also Chairman of the Department of Classical Languages. Not everyone can come to Austin to study the University campus. Yet every Texas town shows some classical details in the form or structure of its buildings; for Texas has a twofold classical tradition in its architecture. There is the Spanish tradition of Roman Spain, with added Moorish ele­ ments brought to the New World, and the Anglo-American Colonial tradition. The latter followed the seventeenth-and eighteenth-century British inter­ pretation of the Italian Renaissance. To Thomas Jefferson, who studied not only Graeco-Roman political theories, but also the buildings of the Greeks and Romans, we owe the main impulse to our Southern Greek Revival archi­tecture as well as the Declaration of Independence. Some of the older county courthouses of Central Texas were designed in the eighties by architects who had studied in Europe and produced buildings which show a transition from Roman to Gothic. They seem now a bit over­loaded with ornament, but they are interesting to study. Other public and commercial buildings and churches in Gothic, Renaissance, and modern style show classical elements in decorative detail, floors, and ceilings. Even houses of the American jigsaw period, the seventies and eighties of the last century, often have good classical columns. A basic knowledge of the elements of Roman and Graeco-Roman architecture may be obtained from handbooks on Rome or on art and architecture. Looking for Roman elements in buildings provides as interesting a hobby as catching Latin quotations in the daily papers. Only, the searcher should be sure to station himself out of the range of passing cars when making observations.

MINUTES OF THE LATIN TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE MEETING The meeting of the Latin Tournament Committee was held in Waco, April 26, 1941, with Miss Flack presiding. Reports from various Tournament centers were heard. Each district reported a successful meeting, and the general opinion of the teachers present was that the Tournament be continued. The Committee felt that the Junior Classical League program in the State should be developed but that it not be substituted for the Tournament. District Chairmen for next year are urged to impress upon schools of their districts the necessity for stating what district they expect to attend and tJ>e numbers they intend to take. This information is necessary to the State Chairman in advance in order that sufficient sets of questions may be sent to each district and that the right number of awards may be ordered. The name of the district must be sent in with the essays so that the essays may be judged with the right district. The Committee favors the continuation of Latin Week and urges all teachers to plan programs for Latin Week in 1942. It was suggested that the second-year test might be shortened. Mrs. Devine asked that the question maker should look more closely at the page content in the books. Mrs. Shepard felt that that matter should be con­sidered by the Content Committee. Mrs. Devine asked that the subjunctive be included in third-term tests. Miss Ingram's motion that the question of tenses and subjunctive be left until the adoption of new textbooks was carried. Complaints were made about the use of the perfect passive participle on the first-term test. The financial report was read by Miss Flack. Dr. Battle's motion that the usual amount be given Miss Flack in appreciation of her work carried. Upon motion of Dr. Penick, thanks were extended to Mrs. Butler and the Waco teachers for the arrangements for the committee meeting. In 1938 Incarnate Word of Houston won the cup which should have gone to San Jacinto. Since then, Incarnate Word has won the cup twice. The Committee decided that it will be necessary for Incarnate Word to win the cup one more time in order to retain it permanently. Miss Ingram's motion that thanks be extended to the Content Committee was carried. PRESENT AT WACO MEETING, APRIL 26, 1941 Dora Flack, Chairman, Dallas; Mrs. Minnie Lee Shepard, Austin; Dr. W. J.

Paschal High School, Fort Worth.................................. Anna Gardner DATE The Latin Tournament will be held on April 11, 1942. This date was chosen after due consideration of the Easter Holidays, Interscholastic League, other contests, and the necessity of allowing due time for the committee meeting and the preparing of reports between the Tournament and the end of the school term. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR TEACHERS 1. In 1942 there will be contests in six divisions: First Year (September Beginners); January Beginners; Third Term (open to pupils who at the time of the contest are taking their third term of Latin, that is, those who are doing the first half of the second year work); Second Year; Third Year; Fourth Year. 2. Each school is allowed two representatives for each Division. These shall be the two who make the highest grades in a Preliminary Contest which must be held not more than two weeks before the date of the District Contest. 3. Third-term pupils may not contest with first-year pupils. 4. No senior shall take part in a first-year contest, nor shall a post· graduate student be eligible for any contest. 5. No pupil taking third-year Latin in the latter half of his fourth year of Latin study shall take part in a third-year contest. 6. No pupil who is not registered in any Latin class at the time of the Tournament may compete at all. 7. No examination shall extend beyond three and one-half hours. 8. Every possible effort shall be made to have grading done fairly. a) There shall be a referee at each center to make final decisions. b) All ties must be resolved by him. c) No change in grades may be made after the results are announced. 9. Graders may be had from The University of Texas for their expenses. 10. Except those in charge, nobody, not even visiting teachers, shall be admitted to the room where graders are at work. 11. After the contest is over, papers shall not be turned over to contestants or anybody else, but all except the winning papers shall be destroyed. 12. All parts of winning papers shall be fastened together so that noth­ing be lost. 13. As soon as possible after the District Contest the winning papers shall be sent to Miss Dora Flack, Technical High School, or 4022 McKinney, Apt. 6, Dallas, in order to determine the State winners. 14. To defray the general expenses of the Tournament each contestant's school shall pay a Registration Fee of three dollars. This Registration Fee and requests for information on any Tournament question should be sent to Miss Dora Flack, Technical High School, Dallas. It will greatly aid the Tour­nament management if schools will register early, giving the exact number of contestants. The form given below should be copied. 15. On the day of the District Contest each pupil registering must pay an individual fee of one dollar to help meet the expenses of the District Contest. 16. To lighten the expenses of the entertaining center each contestant will pay for his own lunch. In most cases lunch may be had at a low cost from the school cafeteria of the center. 17. If reservations for the banquet are made, they must be paid for, unless canceled by noon of the Friday preceding the Tournament. Some centers suffered a considerable loss when students who had made reservations did not attend and the host school had to pay for the entire number of places reserved at the hotels and cafeterias. 18. Each school must send its representative to the nearest center unless special permission is granted for a change. This rule is intended to protect the entertaining center from being asked to house contestants for more than one night. 19. For the essay prizes one essay may be submitted by e_ach con~e~ting school for first, second, third, and fourth year under the followmg conditions: a Contestants may do as much reading and study as desired previous t.o the·day of the Local Essay Contest, but the essa_y must be written in the pupil's own hand in the presence of the teacher without help from anybod·~'" although an outline may be brought into the room by tl~e contesta~t: This original manuscript is to be subm!tt~d witho~t cor~ection or revision. A copy of the outline and a prepared bibliography mcludmg pages and chapters read of books consulted should be submitted with each essay. b. Before the time of the Local Essay Contest the pupil should prepare his bibliography and a brief outline (without subdivisions, that is, main topics, not complete sentences). c. No essay may be less than five hundred or more than one thousand words in length. d. Essays must be written on one side of the paper only. e. An assumed name is to be written at the top of each page. Neither the name of the pupil nor the name of the school is to appear on the paper. f. Essays are to be sent to Miss Dora Flack, Technical High School, Dallas, with keys to assumed names and must be in her hands not later than March 7, 1942. 20. Uniform prizes will be given throughout the State: to Latin Contest winners and Essay Contest winners, pins; to winning schools, loving cups. The prizes will be furnished by the State Committee but paid for by the entertaining Center. Silver or bronze medals will be given to first-place State winners. 21. Each individual contestant making a grade of 90 or over will be notified by the chairman of the Tournament Committee that his paper has been rated cum laude. Each team of January beginners and first year which rates 95 or over and each team of the higher years that ranks 90 or over will be designated as having made a rating of magna cum laude. Teams of January beginners and of first year making 90 or over and those of subsequent years making 85 or over will be ranked as cum laude. A certificate with this information will be sent to the school and a letter of congratulation will be addressed to the principal or superintendent, according to the size of the school system. INSTRUCTIONS TO DISTRICT CHAIRMEN; RULES GOVERNING CONTEST PRELIMINARY I. Prepare cards and envelopes. On card give number, name, school, year. Number as follows: First Year: 101, 102, 103, etc. Second Year: 201, 202, 203, etc. Third Year: 301, 302, 303, etc. Fourth Year: 401, 402, 403, etc. January Beginners: 501, 502, 503, etc. Third Term: 601, 602, 603, etc. II. Graders. 1. Have a competent, impartial person to decide all disputed questions which may arise during the grading. This is required. 2. Select one reliable person to be held responsible for accurate grading in each group. 3. Select graders in advance and notify them. Do not allow any teacher to grade the paper of her own pupil unless other qualified graders are not available. 4. Have the same person grade the same question straight through. 5. Provide red pencils for use of graders. III. Appoint one teacher to take charge in each room, preferably a person not interested in the pupils or results of the contest. IV. Select a person who is accurate and faithful to record grades. This need not be a Latin teacher. His work is to record number, name, and school on the record sheet while the test is in progress and be ready to add grades as they come in. For large tournaments several assistants may be used here. V. No one, not even visiting teachers, shall be admitted to the room where grades are assembled, except those in charge. VI. All school averages must be made before winning schools are announced. Have this checked and rechecked. Do all that is humanly possible to avoid inaccuracy here. THE LATIN LEAFLET VII. Arrange a registration desk and as contestants arrive, have them or the teacher for them, sign the registration blank and pay the individual fee. Pin the badge on them at this time. This admits the contestant to the test and banquet. VIII. Have your banquet by 6 :30 if possible to prevent visitors from being too late driving home. CONTEST (To begin not later than 12:30) I. Seat contestants according to years in separate rooms, where possible. Two small sections may use the same room: as January Beginners and Fourth Year. II. Have the identification cards filled out, sealed, returned and sent to the official recorder. III. No individual or school name is to appear on a contestant's paper; only his identification number on each sheet. IV. No contestant should leave the room during examination. V. Time Limit. Three and one-half hours has been fixed as the maximum time which may be spent on the examination, time to be counted from the actual beginning of the test. VI. Absolute quiet on the part of both teachers and pupils must be demanded by the person in charge. VII. As each question is answered, it should be handed in to the person in charge, who is to send it to the grading room. VIII. No papers are to be given back to contestants or teachers. All papers except winning papers are to be destroyed as soon as possible after the contest. IX. It is understood that all teachers entering pupils in the contest are willing to abide by the decision of the graders. Every possible precaution must be taken to prevent error. After the grades are handed to the official recorder, there must be no changes. The report is final. REPORT I. Not later than Monday send to Miss Dora Flack, 4022 McKinney Ave., Apt. 6, Dallas, Texas: 1. The report, using the blank form provided. 2. The winning paper for each year. These will be regraded to determine State winners. On a separate sheet, but with each paper, give name, year, and school of winner. 3. A copy of your menu, program, favor, anything which may prove helpful or suggestive for another year. II. Fill out the Tournament report blank in duplicate, one copy to be kept on file, one to be mailed on Monday to each school participating. Much of this blank can be filled out by the official recorders while the test is in progress. III. Have all grades made in your Tournament mimeographed, grades for each year in a separate column and send a copy to each school participating. It is helpful and interesting to know how the schools compare. IV. Send a list of all students making 90 or above on the examinations. Be sure to give the school and town of each one. V. Send the list of all teams of January Beginners and of First-Year students making an average of over 90, and of all teams in the Third Term and higher contests making an average of over 85.

A Caesar Picture Gallery (word portraits of characters met in the Gallic Wars) . 3. The Well-Dressed Roman (include descriptions of materials and colors). 4. Roman Trade Guilds (collegia). Third Year: 1. Rome in Cicero's Day. 2. Banking and Finance in Rome. 3. Catiline, Leader of a Political Party. 4. Cicero, the Defender of the Republic. Fourth Year: 1. The Use of Garlands. 2. Aeneas, the Father. 3. Engraved Gems. 4. Omens and Oracles in the Aeneid (Books I-VI). REPORT OF THE CONTENT COMMITTEEJ Myrtillie Bradfield, Lavinia Rawlins, Lourania Miller The content varies little from that for the Tournament of 1941; prepared passages on the third-year paper will be taken from the third Catilinarian oration, and for the fourth year from Book Two of the Aeneid. The sight passage on the fourth year paper will be taken from the last six books of the Aeneid. Words for the second-year paper will not be chosen from beyond Book One, chapter 13 of the Caesar list, nor those of the third year beyond the words listed for the first Catilinarian oration, but contestants in any examination are responsible for all the words listed for the years preceding that in which they compete. The primary object of the Tournament is to bring about better classroom teaching-not to win cups and other honors. This primary pur­pose is defeated when it is found necessary to coach individual pupils either THE LATIN LEAFLET before or aft.er the school cont.estants have been chosen. The committee be­lieves the rearrangement of mat.erial ought to remove altogether tension and the t.emptation to spend much time in coaching. In all divisions derivation work should be stressed. Diagramming will be omitted from all Tournament tests. In no division will pupils be asked to divide words into syllables and accent them. But they may be asked to mark long vowels of stem and inflectional endings (e.g., ponebas) . In all tests there will be some translation of English into Latin. Tests for mid-term beginners, for first-year students, and for third-term pupils will be based on word lists and complete list of forms and construc­tions published in this Leaflet for each division. The tests will include word­analysis, word-building, derivation, forms, sentences, and explanation of case constructions. Derivatives must be used in sentences. In classroom work Roman life and customs and classical mythology ought to find as great a place as possible. No richer source m.at.erial can be found to help the pupil appreciate the world in which we live today. But the lack of common subject matter in the textbooks and the lack of library books for collateral reading make it impractical to include such subjects in Tour­nament tests. If teachers are interested, perhaps some help may be secured from the University Package Loan Library-at least for subjects assignedfor essays. Teachers are asked to note especially the content for Third Term and Second Year. At first glance it seems heavy. But if the First Year book has been thoroughly covered, nearly all that is new is the subjunctive and its uses. All the Second Year books begin with a review of forms and cases supposed to have been mastered in the first year. The number of subjunc­tives allowed on the test has been cut in half. By the end of the second yearthe pupil should have had enough real foundation in fundamental Latin prin­ciples to enable him to look forward to other years of Latin without fear. Therefore, the committee thinks it best not to change materially the syntax for the second year because it constitutes a minimum of what the pupil should know at the beginning of the third year.

The January Beginners vocabulary. II. Forms: 1. Nouns of the first and second declensions. (The vocative need not be given unless it differs from the nominative.) 2. Adjectives of the first and second declensions. 8. Present infinitive active of the first conjugation. 4. Present infinitive active of the second conjugation. 6. Present indicative active of the first conjugation. 6. Present indicative active of five second conjugation verbs. 7. Present infinitive active of do. Present indicative active of do. 8. Present tense of sum. 9. Pupils will not be expected to inflect unus, duo, tres, but they will be expected to know the numerals unus--decem and to use them for derivatives. III. Cases: 1. Nominative: subject and predicate noun and adjective. 2. Genitive: possession. 8. Dative: indirect object. 4. Accusative: direct object and object of certain prepositions. 5. Ablative: object of certain prepositions. IV. Derivations, word-analysis, word-building, sentences. See intro­ductory paragraph. V. Agreement of verb with subject and adjectives with nouns. VI. Complete identification of forms. For a noun or adjective: case and number; for a verb: tense, mood, voice, person, number. VII. Translation of English into Latin and Latin into English. VIII. Simple syntax questions (nouns and adjectives). IX. Present active infinitive to complete verb (complementary infinitive). Caution: 1. To explain the syntax of a noun or adjective simply means to tell the case and number and to tell why the case is used. For example: in sckolti. -ablative singular; object of preposition in, denoting place where. ~. Because of great diversity of reading matter found in the five texts, no prepared passage can be offered for translation.

In order to make it easier for teachers to get work done thoroughly,questions involving deponent verbs and subjunctives will NOT be used for the third-term test. Page limits have not been changed. However, teachers should think of them as the ideal goals to be reached if possible. There should be absolute mastery of vocabulary as printed in this Leaflet. Note omission of deponents and conjunctions (ut, ne, cum) and the inclusion of the irregular verb fio. Pupils will be held responsible for: I. Syntax, forms, vocabularies for both January Beginners and First Year. II. Vocabulary for Third Term. III. Forms: 1. Third declension adjectives. 2. Formation of adverbs. 3. Comparison of both adjectives and adverbs. 4. Fourth and fifth declensions. 5. Infinitives and participles, all tenses, both active and passive. 6. Indicative, all tenses, both active and passive. 7.

Accusative: subject of infinitive, Extent. 4. Ablative: Time, Description, Specification, Ablative Absolute. V. Indirect statement without dependent clause. VI. Derivations, word-analysis, word-building, sentences. VII. Identification of forms, translation, syntax. N.B. 1. The translation set for the test will consist of separate sentences. 2. Read carefully the cautions for January Beginners. Second Year: 1. An outline for this division is hardest of all to make. Yet, except for uses of the subjunctive, there is little that has not been studied already in the other divisions. 2. No page limits can even be approximated. All the texts have some Caesar. But the chapters chosen vary and the manner in which the original has been simplified varies. 3. The usual word list based on Caesar is given in this Leaff,et. For the test pupils will be expected to know the words already listed for January Beginners, First Year, and Third Term plus the words listed for Caesar for chapter one through chapter thirteen. (Before the second year is c~ pleted they should learn the entire Caesar word list as all previous listB will be needed for the tkird year and the f ourtk year.) 4. Only sight passages can be offered on the test, and teachers are urged to read as much as possible from the material in their respective texts. The ability to read with ease can come only with abundant practice. Compre­hension questions may be asked on a sight passage. 5. The translation passage will be a simple short story written in Caesar's style. Caesar vocabulary through chapter 13 of Book One will be used plus vocabularies listed for the previous divisions. The question-maker will bear in mind that the school term will not have been finished and will try to keep the passage within the range of the pupil's ability. 6. Forms: a. Forms already listed should not be neglected. b. The nine irregular adjectives with genitive in ius. c. Deponent verbs. d. Gerund, gerundive. e. Subjunctive, all tenses, both active and passive. 7. Important syntax: a. Genitive of the Whole, or Partitive. b. Dative: Purpose, Reference, Possession, with compound verbs. c. Licet, oportet. d. Gerund and gerundive with ad and causa to express purpose. e. Subjunctive: ( 1) Purpose : ut, ne. (2) Result: ut, ut non. ( 3) Independent Volitive (hortatory, jussive, or"Let"subjunctive). ( 4) In a subordinate clause in indirect discourse. (5) Indirect question. (6) Cum clauses (circumstantial, causal, adversative). 8. Law of Sequence. N.B. I. The following principles of syntax will NOT be used on the test but they should be carefully studied before the end of the second year : 1. Use of future passive participle with sum (second periphrastic). 2. Dative of Agent. 3. Relative clause of purpose. 4. Subjunctive depending on a verb of fearing. N.B. II. When explaining the syntax of a verb form, tell tense, mood, and reason for mood. For example: ut--veniret. Veniret---imperfect subjunctive: purpose. Third Year: 1. The Third Catilinarian Oration. 2. A sight passage will be required. 3. A comprehension question may be asked on another sight passage. 4. Background. 5. Prose: Based on principles list.ed below. The vocabulary for prose sentences will be taken from lists for previous years and from the list for Catilinarian Orations I and III. 6. Vocabulary: Catilinarian Orations I and III as given in this Leafiet. To help eliminate the "coaching evil" and to put a premium on ability to read and understand new Latin, in both the third year and the fourth year, only one passage will be taken from Latin already studied in class. Hence, much att.ention throughout the year should be given to sight translation. To assist in sight work pupils should master the Latin Word List pub­lished by the College Entrance Board, 431 West ll7th Street, New York City. Most of this list is published in this Leafiet. In syntax, if not already mast.ered, the following topics should be em­phasized: 1. Conditional sentences, except for indirect discourse. 2. Subjunctive in independent clauses: Volitive (Hortatory), Delibera­tive, Optative. 3. Purpose clauses and all purpose constructions, including supine in um and the dative of purpose. 4. Result clauses (except substantive). 5. Relative clauses of charact.eristic, including cause and concession. 6. Temporal clauses: postquam, ut, ubi, simul atque, cum primum, and cwm. 7. Causal clauses. 8. Genitive: Objective, Subjective, Measure, Description. 9. Dative: Passive construction of intransitive verbs that govern the dative. 10. Accusative: Place to which without a preposition, two accueatives with verbs of making, naming, etc., including passive construction. 11. Ablative: Manner, Separation, Cause, Comparison, Degree of Differ­ence, with deponents, Place where and whence without a preposition. 12. Mastery of all grammatical principles list.ed for previous years. Fourth Year: 1. Aeneid, Book II. 2. A sight passage will be required. 3. Translation, significance, and setting of famous lines in Book II. 4. Background. 5. Memory passages from Books I and II; Tennyson's "To Virgil." Aeneid, Book I, 1-7 33 198-207 437 461-462 607-610 630 Book II, 49 324-327 354 6. Scansion. 7. Mythological references in Book II. 8. Most common figures: Alliteration Metonymy Simile Hendiadys Hysteron proteron Prolepsis Zeugma 9. Vocabulary: Aeneid, Books I and II, as given in the Leafiet. Absolute mastery of this vocabulary as quickly as possible will marvelously facilitate sight translation in Virgil. 10. Prose: Based on principles listed below. Vocabulary for prose sen­tences will be taken from the Aeneid, Book I and from lists for previous years. For the prose for the fourth year the following topics should be stressed: 1. Dum temporal and proviso clauses. 2. Substantive clauses. 3. Adversative clauses. 4. Clauses introduced by priusquam and antequam. 5. Temporal clauses: dum, donec, and quoad. 6. Active and passive periphrastic conjugations. 7. Gerund and gerundive constructions. 8. Supine in u. 9. Genitive: with adjectives, with verbs of remembering and forgetting,with miseret, paenitet, pudet, etc., with verbs of judicial action. 10. Accusative: Exclamation. 11. Ablative: Price, Attendant Circumstance, with adjectives dignua and indignus, substitute for genitive of whole. 12. Locative. 13. Methods of expressing dates. 14. Review of grammatical principles for previous years. NOTE 1. In all years where composition is required excellent drill material can be found in Bennett's Composition, Parts I and II, and in the Companionsto Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil published by the College Entrance Book Com­pany, 104 Fifth Avenue, New York City. These Companions provide ma­terial for background work, word-building, word-analysis, derivation, and sight reading. NOTE 2. Each year is also responsible for all the vocabulary and gram­matical work of the preceding years. Drill on review work is recommended. WORD LISTS Lists for January Beginners, First Year, and Third Term were compiled by the committee on content. Lists for Second, Third, and Fourth Year are those furnished by the College Entrance Examination Board, with the words rearranged according to their occurrence in Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil. Be­cause of different texts used in the State, it is essential that pupils master these specified words. Choose the list which fits your classification. With these lists as bases, give particular study to word-building, word-analysis, and derivatives. For verbs, learn principal parts and meanings; for nouns, nominative and genitive cases, gender, and meaning; for adjectives and ad­verbs, meaning and comparison; for prepositions, case required. Derivatives must be used in sentences. Obsolete words will not be accepted as deriva­tives. Give special attention to word-building, word-analysis, derivatives, pronunciation, and vowel markings.

Daily Life in Ancient Rome. Translated by E. 0. Lorimer; edited with bibliography and notes by Henry T. Rowell. XV; 342 pp. Yale University Press, New Haven, 1940. $3.50. This volume confines itself to life in Rome in a single period, that from the middle of the first century A.D. through the reign of Hadrian, when Rome reached its highest plane of wealth and power, a period from which we have the largest number of literary remains. While mentioning the social and economic abuses which arose with the increase of wealth, the author points out how they indicate a weakening in character and how they led eventually to the downfall of Rome. He shows similar evils in the life of the leisure classes of London, Paris, and New York in recent years. Sources for most of his statements are given, but some of these are clearly misinterpretations and snap judgments. For example, he ascribes the death of Regulus's son (p. 80) to the prodigal use of his inheritance, though no cause whatever is stated by ancient writers. We question also the use of orange blossoms at weddings and the extent of the trade in silk and cotton, for which there is no evidence. One passage quoted to prove that a Roman breakfast consisted of a drink of water clearly refers to a total abstainer at a banquet. Again, the description of Pliny arriving at a public reading (recitatio) is based on a letter which actually describes a visit to a school lecture class. There are many fine illustrations of architectural reconstructions and of the excavations of the last two decades at Rome and Ostia, since these have revealed remains from the period which the book covers. This collection will make the book a valuable addition to a high-school library. Miller, Walter. Greece and the Greeks. 508 pp. The Macmillan Co., New York, 1941. $3.00 Professor Miller's attractive book is divided into four parts: Part I, Greece Yesterday and Today; Part II, Home Life of the Ancient Greeks; Part III, Public Life of the Ancient Greeks; Part IV, Literature and Art. The illustrations include photographs of excavations and other views in Greece as well as of objects in museums, already familiar from numerous reproductions. The writer's enthusiasm causes some minor misstatements, such as the reference (p. 7) to the beauty of Hymettan marble, which is really one of the least attractive varieties. At other times, the author fails to realize that his reader knows less of the subject than he does and omits necessary explanations. He makes no mention of the difference between ancient and modern purchasing power in discussing prices (p. 41), nor does he call attention to the fact that the lines of the ropes of the swing have disappeared from the vase pictured on page 82. At times also he generalizes from the statement of a single author, as Plato on the treatment of slaves (p. 273). The conclusion (p. 459) that the Greek spirit lives and will live on is heartening in this dark time of Greece and of western civilization. The book should have a place in every high-school reference library. Ullman, B. L., and Henry, N. E. Latin for Americans. The Macmillan Co., New York, 1941. 422 pp. $1.68. This text follows in general the plan of the Ullman and Henry First Latin Book, which it supersedes. It surpasses the latter in the illustrations, which include color photographs of classical sites, pictures of buildings in the classical manner from many countries, classical subjects on postage stamps, and little humorous sketches to illustrate grammatical constructions. Though the older books are to be retained in Texas schools, every Latin teacher should have a copy of Latin for Americans for use in projects of classroom and club work. Wood, Julia B. Canemus and Canemus II. American Classical League Service Bureau, New York University, Washington Square, New York, 1941. Combination price, $1.00. These excellently printed musical collections will be of interest to classical clubs and to classes that enjoy singing on occasion. Canemus, Group I, consists of six songs with music, five of which are Miss Wood's musical settings. The collection includes Per glaciem tres '[)Ueri; Epitaph of Naevius; A Psalm of Life; Horace's Ode to the Republic,· D'Aubigne's Diana; Horace's The Lucrine Palaces; A Medieval Spring Carol. Price, 35c postpaid. Canemus, Group II, includes Handel's Largo with Latin words; poems from Ovid and from Martial with musical settings by Miss Wood; O parve vice Bethlehem; Latin translations of two German folk songs; The Season's Greetings; Due, alma lux; a Latin round, Roman Bo-Peep; the Greek Hymn to Calliope; notes and a comprehensive bibliography on Greek and Roman music. The music accompanies each song. Price, 70c postpaid. The translation of Lead, Kindly Light and the Latin words to the Largo by A. F. Geyser, S.J., with music, can be had in a separate four-page folder. Price, 8c per copy; 7 copies for 50c. FICTION Masefield, John. Basilissa, A Tale of the Empress Theodora. 307 pp. The Macmillan Co., New York, 1940. $2.50. Basilissa shows that a gentleman and scholar can, to the relief of the reader, write an exciting story about a historical character without wallow­ ing in the scandals with which the only surviving contemporary account of Theodora's life abounds. The narrative follows the return of this remark­ able woman from North Africa, where she has been cast out by the governor, her former lover, to her marriage with the Emperor Justinian. It moves through a series of political intrigues and attempted coups, in which the author obviously introduces situations parallel to those which have over­ whelmed the world today. There are no chapter divisions and the continuous text enhances the idea of the rapid march of events. The story is enter­ taining and gives an idea of the life, culture, commerce, and politics of the great eastern harbor cities. Inaccuracies are avoided by omission of detailed descriptions. Almost the only such attempt unfortunately brings in a spinning wheel and a table drawer, articles of furniture which do not appear before the late Renais­ sance. Mayer, Albert I. Olympiad. 268 pp. Illus. by Cleveland J. Woodward. Harper and Brothers, New York and London, 1938. $2.00. Boy Scouts, athletes, and rooters for the team will enjoy this story of a rustic Greek boy of the Ben Webster type, who is finally acclaimed winner at Olympia. Here he shows himself not only a champion wrestler, but the highest type of sportsman. The story moves rapidly, but readers not primarily interested in wrestling may skim some details of the matches. The house, the school, the cult of Asclepius, and other aspects of ancient life are incorporated into the narrative, which is, however, by no means didactic. A reference to oranges in the Peloponnesus in antiquity is the only glaring anachronism. The illustrations suggest situations in the Greek spirit, if not in antique style. Vaughan, Agnes Carr. Akka, Dwarf of Syracuse. 216 pp. Illus. by Eliza­ beth Tyler Wolcott. Longmans, Green and Company, New York, Toronto, 1940. $2.50. Among books recommended for the purpose of familiarizing junior high­school pupils with life in other lands and times, Akka should find a place. It tells in a swift succession of episodes the adventures of a pair of young twins. They meet the dwarf of King Hiero and the great scientist, Archimedes, in their rambles about the city. The reader cannot but realize how primitive life was for the masses even at the height of Greek culture and how much easier the lot of the child has become. In descriptions of Syracuse and Alexandria the author follows ancient sources and rightly does not rely overmuch on her own imagination to crowd in details where ancient evidence fails. It is regrettable that she uses the handbook misconception of the papyrus plant and emphasizes cactus in Sicily, since the present growth is an importation from the Americas. The line illustrations in the spirit of Greek vase painting add to the attrac­tiveness of a book which youngsters in junior high school will enjoy. For lists of books of reference for use in preparing essays, students may consult the Leaflets of August, 1938, and August, 1941. THE TOURNAMENT EXAMINATION QUESTIONS OF 1941 GENERAL NOTICE TO ALL GRADERS Remember that this is a competitive examination, and grades are not necessarily absolute but relative. Hence subtract rather than add. You may object to the grading scale and the sample key for graders, but remember that there are graders at work in all the centers, each with his own idea of values. The key strives for a reasonable uniformity in grading, and the answers given, particularly in translations, are suggestions only. Deduct .1 for all errors of spelling unless the key indicates otherwise. Underline every error with red pencil. Indicate clearly in the margin the amount to be deducted for each question or part of queS'tion. If there is no error, put 0 in the margin, to show that the question has been graded. A committee skilled in arithmetic should compute the total values. The total grade should be clearly marked on each paper. In case of tie or close grades, consideration should be given: (1) In translation, to clearness and quality of English. (2) In prose composition, to word-order. In no case should jargon or hotch-potch be accepted as translation. IMPORTANT.

The horses and soldiers of the king, who, as it chanced, were not far away, hastening immediately to the spot, were unable even with the greatest diligence to put together the parts of poor Dumptius' body.
