"THE ONE SMALL BOOK

Towle and Jenks Caesar, Books I and II, with Sight Reading

99

Perhaps you have decided that economy and efficiency in Second Year Latin are secured by the use of a single book containing all of the Latin work of that year. If you have decided to follow the one book plan, there are many reasons for selecting the Towle and Jenks Caesar. In the first place, it is the smallest edition available. It weighs just 221⁄2 ounces and contains everything you need-Caesar, grammatical appendix, prose composition exercises, together with notes, vocabulary, sight translation, and word formation, all carefully correlated so that there is no waste from duplication.

PROSE EXERCISES

The vocabulary includes all the Caesar words that occur ten or more times in High School Latin. New constructions are first illustrated with familiar vocabulary; new vocabulary is used in familiar constructions.

The arrangement of the sentences is novel. From five to fifteen sentences are given upon each new construction, according to its difficulty. After these there are ten or more review and miscellaneous sentences. Thus the teacher is enabled to give as much drill on any particular construction as a class needs, and as much or as little review. He may carry a class along rapidly through new constructions and review them later if he wishes.

SIGHT TRANSLATION

Books III and IV of the Gallic War contain a little over 1100 lines. The Towle and Jenks, in addition to Books I and II, complete, furnishes 1500 lines so selected as to give the complete story and more interesting portions of the War narrative, together with over 600 lines, also placed together, containing all of the passages describing the manners and customs of the Gauls and Germans. To this are added for good measure 400 lines of interesting narrative from the Civil War.

ACCEPTED BY THE COLLEGES

Most of the Colleges have gone on record as accepting the sight translation plan as presented in the Towle and Jenks Caesar, as an equivalent of the first four books of Caesar. Especially enthusiastic has been the endorsement of the Towle and Jenks presentation of the "new Latin requirement" in conjunction with so many features of distinctive merit. Have you examined "the one small book"?

THROUGH the underlying fabric of classic literature runs continually
the golden thread of ancient myth. Upon nothing else is artistic
appreciation so constantly dependent as upon a knowledge of the myths
of ancient nations. Nor can this knowledge be effective if gleaned in
haphazard bits from critical notes or from a Classical Dictionary. To
refine and heighten aesthetic judgment these ancient imaginings must
be told in a related series of tales as consecutively as possible. For this

reason

Gayley's Classic Myths

has gained and held its place among the foremost manuals of mythology.
Because its author has written always with imagination and with
sympathetic insight, and because he has constantly enriched his text
with passages from modern literature, this book is preeminently the
one to broaden and deepen the creative and appreciative faculties and
to furnish a key to the spiritual development of a race.
