Latin

A few entries ago -- "Dumbing Down" -- I noted that Latin was required in English Schools in 1898. It is a pity that it is not so today. As this review aptly points out, there is much to be gained from a study of Latin. It is truly a remarkable language and it deserves a place in our curriculum. Times Online - Books
