Excerpt from The Seventh Book of Vergil's Aeneid: Edited for the Use of Schools I very well remember hearing Dr. Francis Gardner, for forty years headmaster of the Boston Latin School, and one of the most noted classical teachers in this country, say publicly that he deemed it of small import ance that a boy should be able, at the end of the six years' course in his school, to read Cicero or Xenophon. What did he value as the outcome of so long a course of classical training? Why, a thorough knowledge of the Latin and Greek grammars; I might almost say, of Latin and Greek syntax.
