"YOUTH AND THE CLASSICS."

ol the department of philosophy At
this time of reKistialion it is most Im
portant that courses of study be ar
ranged with a view to more thnn mere

In regard to their course, we reprint
the following clipping from the article
of Professor Alexander's on "Youth
and the Classics," appearing in the
State Journal of September 17-
"Latin and Creek will become In
creusinly familiar to a probably dl
minlshliiK proportion of young Nebras
kans this lull This will mean, or
course, the persistent continuation of
tiiat decline or the classics which has
been in progress Tor a generation oi
more--which some educators hue glee
fuhl described as a "slump " The rea
son tor the decline is not dilllciilt to
discover It is not that Latin or Creek
is 'dead,' as we used to hear, for both
the languages and their literatures un
living It is not that they call for haul
st udj, lor the probably demand no
more ellort than do many studies that
aie still industriously pursued The
real reason is that they lend to no
vocation
"Nowadas education is platted along
lines which will asssure speedy re

far distant when our young men, as
today the young men of Franco, will,
stand reaclv to demand t tin t encourage

is their right and the right of poster-'
ity Nor can it be doubted that when)
educators stand ready to recommend,
the students will be eager to follow,
and the studv ol Cieek and Latin will
no longei seem but the impractical

in those davs public education will be

which will be seen to be also the good
