As to Method of work, in addition to the absolute mastery which should be required of the student in everything attempt~d, it is thought impo~ant to keep in view the follow-

ing ·ends:

1 To direct attention chiefly to the essentials of

the-language with reference to the early a1id pleasurable reading

of connected discourse ;

2 To give the study of Greek as practical a turn as

possible, by noting the numerous English derivatives from Greek and the grammatical principles common to Greek and

English, also by giving attention to rhetorical and literary qualities with reference to the cultiv~tion of literary taste ;

3 To make the study of Greek the means of recalling a:- vivid picture of ancient _Gre~k life To this end the Geogr~phy

of Greece, the history, customs and manners of the people

are learned, and no circumstance is neglected which can · give

reality to their objects of thought and interest· to the :-;tudy ot
