"Currently the A.R.L.T. is gearing up to provide teachers, parents and children with materials that will convince them of the value, the benefits and the pleasure of studying Latin".

I read this in an article by Joan Bakewell in 'The Guardian' G2 p.7, 22/10/04

Whoops!! I misread it: it is the 'Historical Association' about 'History', which children have the option of dropping at age 14. But is this impossible for Latin? As a start, the A.R.L.T. used to have a leaflet, 'Why Latin?' (sparked by Belinda Dennis) and our cousins in the American Classical League have generated a persuasive leaflet: www.promotelatin.org

The Friends of Classics' glossy leaflet 'Taking the long view' deserves being strewn all over the country. Download the leaflet in .pdf form by following the link under Attachments below.
