I can refer to some who have gone from the common school to the univer- sity without the benefit of a high school. I quite agree with R. S. Frank that the study of Latin should not interfere with. the study of English. andthat we should de- vote much more of our time to our own language, and I think this is the Case ln our Common Schools. At the Matriculation Exam _a student is required to make 50 per cent in English and Arithmetic and as lowuas 35 per cent will do ln other subjects it there is 65 per cent on the whole. In reading R. S. Frank's first letters I understood that she was for taking Latin and Geometry" from our schools altogether. but she makes the statement now that site wishes that every child. who is so inclined. would have the oppor- tunity of studying Latin and studying long enough and under Latin scholars. so that it may be a cherished part of his. adult ‘life. This is a stronger statement than anyone has yet made 1n the de- fence of teaching Latin. Your correspondent gives the names o.’ some who had not the opportun- ity of a good common school ed- ucation. who became great and successful men. She probably could mention many. who became great without any education or with very little. Success does not. de- pend on how much Latin one knows. or English either as Bums said.
