Excerpt from Easy Steps in Latin
The increased demands upon the time of pupils preparing for college have for a long time pointed to the need of a book for beginners in Latin, with a reduction in the amount of daily work required and a corresponding increase in the thoroughness of the memory work.
This need has been still further emphasized by the introduction of Latin into grammar schools, a practice that has already found favor in many cities, the great drawback to its universal adoption being the unwillingness of grammar school teachers to attempt new work without Clear and simple outlines, and equal unwilling ness on the part of high school teachers to undertake further work with pupils, some well, others ill prepared.
To meet these conditions, if possible, this book has been planned, not attempting to give all that is valuable, but furnishing enough to give pupils a comfortable introduction to the language, emphasizing its relation to English and the learning of paradigms rather than the reading of many sentences.
These lessons, accordingly, are very short, most of them being adapted to an hour of preparation and half an hour of recitation, with the understanding that the memoriter recitations shall be absolutely accurate and rapid, an indispensable condition for future work.
