📘 Excerpt from Second Year Latin For Sight Reading: Selections From Caesar And NeposThis volume contains considerably more Latin than is generally read in the second year. The purpose of the additional matter is that the teacher may be given a com paratively wide range of choice and not that a much greater amount be read. It cannot be too strongly urged that teachers should exercise the utmost care lest sight trans lation become a matter of quantity rather than of quality, and lest the pupil think that translation is the result of combining memory with guesswork. It° must be under stood that the purpose of sight translation is the develop ment of power - not the careless reading of much Latin. The difference between sight translation and the prepared translation is one not of quantity but simply of method. In sight translation, only that information is given which is absolutely and wholly new to the pupil. For the rest he must depend upon his own experience and ingenuity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
