A First Latin Course by Scott and Jones
This little Latin book was assigned in the PNEU programs starting in Form II. It is a great first Latin text for any age. It is an engaging text that is simply executed presenting the Latin language in a natural way with an emphasis on conversation.
This hardcover reprint of the Eighth edition, 1908 contains 151 pages. This companion Parents’ Review article explains how to use Scott and Jones.
PNEU Teacher Hilda Fountain says of the book,
“Those of us who have taught Latin from the ordinary grammars must appreciate the freshness and interest of this book.
A little girl of eleven, who had been learning Latin about two months, when walking in Chester, and looking at the walls exclaimed, “Quam multae portae sunt, portae sunt quinque," That she should express herself in Latin, when seeing the old Roman city with its relics of the past, showed the reality of the speech and its appropriateness in her mind. I was as pleased at that as I should have been if she had begun to talk French on landing at Calais.”
