Book Description
Excerpt from A Plea for Greek in the American High School Greek is the one ideal element needed to round out and per feet our system of democratic education. Its call is a spiritual one. The maintenance of Greek in the high school is our tribute of loyalty to the spiritual ancestry of our culture. The time is come, when we too of Virginia and the South can afford to pay such reverence to the ideal interests of life. Our public school system can never be fully worthy of an enlightened democracy, until we shall have made it possible for any number of pupils, however small, to pursue the study of Greek during the last two years of the high school course. For nothing is more certain than that, in the profoundest essentials of our thought and speech. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Histories of Greece and Rome: And of South and North America Two thousand copies of the Plymouth first edition of this work have been sold, in the space of a few years. This is ample evidence of the estimation in which it is held by the public. As the best return the publisher can make for the patronage, which he has received, he has spared no expense to render the pie-sent edition more accurate and worthy of encouragement, than any which has preceded it. The reviser, to whom was submitted the examination of the copy, before it was put to the press, has corrected many errors, which had crept into the work in previous impressions, especially in the ancient histories, by carefully comparing it with standard authorities, The histories of South and North America, which are extracted almost entirely from Dr. Robertson and Dr. Gordon, and of which they are good abridgments, he has collated throughout with the originals, rectified occasional mistakes, and supplied some omissions. He did not think it his duty to new-model Mr. Cooper's composition, excepting in a few instances, where perspicuity manifestly required it, though he felt a strong desire to restore the elegant periods of the historian of South America. It was his intention to make the orthography of the volume uniform, corresponding with that of Johnson and Walker. The publisher flatters himself, that his second edition of the work, now offered the community, will meet their continued approbation. He trusts, that it will answer the candid expectation of those schools and literary institutions, by whom it is used as an elementary treatise. In fine, he hopes, that these histories of Mr. Cooper's, whose lucid order, judicious and interesting selection of materials, compressed into a small compass - excellences allowed them by common suffrage - wherever they may circulate, will prove of essential benefit in forming the minds of the rising generation, for whom they were designed, and to whose capacity they appear very well adapted.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Greek Question The American Hellenic Society will constantly aim to make known the position, the interests and the ambitions of Greece, and to promote sympathy with them. It will aim to make the people of Greece and those of the United States more intimately acquainted one with the other by promoting in America the study of the ancient and modern language and literature of Greece and by promoting in Greece the study of the English language and of American history, literature and institutions. Surely this aim is a noble one and one that will call forth and receive widespread sympathy and support. To this cause the series of publications, of which the present volume is the first, is dedicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American Red Cross in Greece The American Red Cross has maintained a mission in Greece for a period of nine months. During that period the uniforms of the American Red Cross officer and of the American Red Cross trained nurse and social worker have become familiar to a large proportion of the Greek people; and the people of certain sections of the country have been able to observe with their own eyes the busi ness upon which the American organization has. Been engaged. We need no introduction, for example, to the inhabitants of Eastern Macedonia and the larger Aegean islands; and the people in Athens, in a general Way, know the purpose of the mission. But probably the Greek people as a whole have been somewhat at a loss to understand why the American Red Cross was here what were the motives and objects of the missmn; and, naturally, they have had little opportunity of learning what we have actually been doing in Greece-the nature and extent of our undertakings. It has, therefore, seemed to me, as head of the mission, proper to issue this statement about the American Red Cross Commission to Greece, and to review, briefly, the work upon which we have been engaged and which has now been brought to a conclusion. For the mis sion will have failed in one of its objects if, as a result of oursojourn in Greece, the Greek people and the Amer ican people are not drawn together in closer bonds of sympathy, understanding and friendship.

Book Description
Excerpt from Constantine I and the Greek People As I wrote the pages which follow. I sent a carbon copy to the State Department for its information. When the book was printed and ready for publication, I took a copy to Mr. Creel's othee, and said I was quite ready to conform to any desire the administration might express regarding its publication. There was not the slightest suggestion of opposition to its appearance. But while the book was being written, precisely what my friend had predicted was taking place in Greece. No whisper of what was going on under cover reached the American people, however. We had entered the war against Germany on April 6; but our allies saw in that fact no reason to share with the American people their secret intentions toward Greece, nor the unusual course they were even then planning; to follow in respect to a sovereign people determined to remain as neutral as Spain or Holland, and for much the same reasons.

Book Description
Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.
