Tradition vs. Modernity in Education
Ralston A year ago, I told you I wanted the new style of Latin pronunciation taught. And you totally ignored it.
Mr. Chips Oh, that. Nonsense, in my opinion. Nonsense. ].] What's the good of teaching boys to say Kikero', when, for the rest of their lives, they'll say Sissero'? If they say it a'tall. Instead of vy-sissum', you'd make them say we-kiss-'em.
[regarding [[Cicero; about 'vicissim', an adverb]
Ralston There you are. I'm trying to make Brookfield an up-to-date school and you insist on clinging to the past. The world's changing, Mr. Chipping.
