The function of all nonvocational subjects in the curriculum, from kindergarten through college. is to improve the ability of the student to read, write, spell, arid calculate. To do these well, he must also understand what he reads and be able to express what he understands. This requires a constantly increasing vocabulary. Although every subject studied makes a contribution to enlarging the vocabulary, Latin is especially useful. To get the greatest benefit from Latin, the student must learn to read and understand without translating, and there must be constant emphasis on derived English words. Only that part of the culture which is embodied in the language is worth the study of the language. Benefits accessory to the study of the language provide no valid reason for such study, since they can all be acquired by reading in English.
