The Role of Latin in American Education.

California State Dept. of Education, Sacramento. Bureau of Elementary and Secondary Education.; National Council of State Supervisors of Foreign Language.

This pamphlet presents a rationale for the study of Latin during a period in which the relevance of foreign language instruction is being questioned. Observations on the value of language awareness, historical perspective, and the development of sound judgment support recommendations that the American Classical League and curriculum planners continue to strive for improvement in the teaching of Latin.
