New Latin textbook changes with times
By Justin Pope, AP Education Writer  |  August 23, 2004

"Optimus magister bonus liber," goes the old Latin adage: "The best teacher 
is a good book." For generations of modern-day Latin students, that book has 
been "Wheelock's Latin." But as the latest generation of students buy their 
Wheelocks in the coming weeks, they will discover a textbook that looks very 
different from the original, densely packed tome Professor Frederic Wheelock 
sketched out a half-century ago.

A look at the new 'Wheelock's Latin'
By Justin Pope, AP Education Writer  |  August 23, 2004

Can there really be anything new to say in a Latin textbook? Richard 
LaFleur, who took over the "Wheelock's Latin" series in the mid-1990s after 
author Frederic Wheelock's death in 1987, says Latin may not have changed 
much, but teaching has, and the culture in which Latin students learn has 
evolved as well.
