THE
Latin derivatives in English exist in families, that

These derivatives should in some way be studied by the pupil. They are not the simple words to be learned without study, familiar to one's ear and tongue from child li But one meets these derivatives everywhere as he emerges from childhood into youth. They sprinkle the pages of every book he reads, and they drop from the lips of all pub1.

The pupil must somehow make the acquaintspeakers. ance of these words, must learn to handle them himself. One of the cogent reasons for studying Latin is, that it

These, and hundreds of other short Latin words, as well understood as the simplest Anglo-Saxon, are mostly without Saxon equivalents. But even those with Saxon duplicates
are necessary ; they give to our speech a rich synonymy that aids us in making and in expressing the finer distinctions in

with the heel ? What other adjective health has the strength of robust oaken ? Such denoting words, unfortunately, are pregnant with meaning mainly to the etymologist. In this they differ from what the vigorcate to
