Excerpt from Via Nova
The specimen lessons are printed as given, whenever possible, with all their imperfections upon them. It is difficult for the master always to avoid errors in oral work, but the effect upon the class is evanescent, experience proving that the boys suffer no permanent, if any, harm, provided that the master takes pains to improve.

Originally published in 1915, this book addresses the teaching of classics, particularly Latin and ancient Greek, in a schooling system which has grown to see the subject as largely irrelevant. Jones argues that studying ancient languages is best done through the 'direct method' of instruction.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the debate surrounding the teaching of classics, arguing that the traditional methods of instruction have failed to capture the imaginations and engage the minds of students. The author argues for the implementation of the ââ Å"direct method,ââ  a technique that aims to immerse students in the language and culture of ancient Greece and Rome by eliminating the use of translation and encouraging students to think, speak, and act as if they were living in those times. The book highlights the historical context of classical education, tracing its evolution from a period when Latin was a living language to its current status as a subject often viewed as irrelevant and outdated. The author argues that the direct method is not simply a new approach to language learning but a philosophical shift, one that reimagines the role of classics in education, aiming to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of ancient societies and their cultural legacies. The bookââ â¢s insights on the direct method provide a compelling argument for its potential to revitalize the teaching of classics, making it a more engaging and rewarding experience for both teachers and students.
