About This Book

The handbook provides practical guidance and ready-made programs for secondary-school Latin clubs, combining organizational advice, topic-based meeting outlines, and resource suggestions for small schools. It offers extended programs on Roman life and culture—Pompeii, ancient Rome, the forum and house, slavery, children, education, professions, religion, literature, holidays, and monuments—supplemented by poems, translations, songs, and readings for performance. It advises collecting visual aids and library materials, supplies bibliographies and notes, and intentionally presents programs longer than a single session so teachers can select appropriate portions. The overall aim is to vivify Latin instruction through extracurricular club activity.

Sincere thanks are due to the various authors and publishers of copyrighted books from which selections are taken for their courteous permission to copy.

Specific acknowledgment is due George Bell and Sons, London, for Martial's Epigrams; Smith, Elder, and Company, London, for The Doom of the Slothful; Houghton, Mifflin Co., for After Construing, A Roman Mirror, Enceladus, and the poems of John G. Saxe; The Chautauqua Press, for Capri and the Translations of Horace's Odes; Charles Scribner's Sons, for the Assembly of the Gods, Cerberus, the Harpy, A Plea for the Classics, and Malum Opus; The American Book Company, for Cupid and the Bee; Lothrop, Lee and Shepard Co., for A Christmas Hymn; New England Magazine, for the Fall of Rome; Little, Brown and Company, for the translation of Dies Irae; The Outlook Company, for the Prayer of Socrates; Allyn and Bacon, for the music for Flevit Lepus Parvulus.
