About this title

Synopsis

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.

Book Description

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.
