Miss Sabin's manual
One of the pages I capped from the Classical Journal refers to Miss Sabin's manual as "the most valuable contribution to Latin teaching". As I wandered through similar publications, I saw many similar references. Who was Miss Sabin and what was this wonderful book?
In fact it isn't called a Manual. It's The relation of Latin to practical life, and Miss Sabin is Frances Ellis Sabin. She ran a sort of bureau at Univ of Wisconsin, issuing bulletins and books for Latin teachers. Who was she? This biography page answers the question.
Miss Sabin wasn't delicate in those notes and helps:
As I skimmed through the Manual, I was puzzled by many pages like this:
Looks like a webpage where the image links are broken. The puzzle was solved when I went back to the first page and RTFM:
It's not broken at all. It came with a set of large cards that could be filled in with your own pictures to fit local circumstances, and you were supposed to get your students involved in building the manual! In other words, it was a practical lab experience that specified practical lab experiences.
I love it!
Much of the manual is devoted to showing the perpetual nature of civic problems. Miss Sabin wasn't delicate about such matters either:
Oddly this list doesn't include juries. but it does include police:
Looks familiar. [Here's the Lorimer case article.]
But there are some exceptions to the rule that Miss Sabin didn't catch.
I transcribed this example instead of capping, to make sure it's properly readable:
Speech Delivered in 43 b.c. by Hortensia, a Prominent Suffragist, when an edict was passed requiring fourteen hundred of the richest women to make a valuation of their property and to contribute for the needs of a civil war such portion of it as would be required.
"Let war with the Gauls or Parthians come and we shall not be inferior to our mothers in zeal for the common safety; but for civil wars may we never contribute, nor even assist you against one another. Why should we pay taxes, when we have no part in the honors, the commands, the state-craft, for which you contend against one another with such harmful results?"
One thing definitely hasn't changed: Feminists of 43 BC and 1913 and 2018 are aristocrats who are accustomed to obedience from the lower castes. When the lower classes gain some power in legislatures and attempt to harmonize national laws with Natural Law, aristocrats of both genders rise up in protest.
But the specific antiwar attitude has definitely changed since 43 BC. Feminists of modern times, from 1840 to present, are strongly in favor of internal wars. In fact that's the whole fucking point of the movement. Exterminate the lower classes.
The Grahamite abolitionists who prepared the country for Madman Lincoln's War Of Deplorable Extermination were vegan feminists, identical to modern Sorosians in beliefs, practices, Wall Street funding, and genocidal consequences.
