Excerpt from Introduction to Caesar
Nearly everywhere in the South and in most schools of the North, Caesar is the first Latin author studied, and generally at the beginning of the second year in Latin. Efforts have been made to substitute second Latin books, Viri Romae, Nepos, and other less difficult texts, but in the majority of instances without much success.
Parents, teachers, and colleges seem to unite in the demand that Caesar should be the first author read, and that we must find the shortest road to this end; that we must train our boys and girls from the earliest possible moment to read, not sec ond rate authors because of fewer difficulties pre sented, but Caesar, Cicero, and the other great masters of Roman literature.
