t fendere. The infinitive forms of Latin verbs were used 
rather than the first person singular indicative. 
In column two at the right of column one on the page, after 
some of the Latin source words will be noticed a capital letter, 
after other source words column two is left blank. If column 
two is left blank, it signifies that the Latin source word after 
which the blank space occurs is not to be found in Lodge’s 
Vocabulary of High School Latin. If a capital C occurs in 
column two, it signifies that the Latin source word after which 
it is placed occurs in the list of 1,000 Caesarian words which 
Professor Lodge recommends for memorizing during the first 
two years of high school. If a capital T (Tullius) occurs, it 
signifies that the Latin source word occurs in Professor 
Lodge’s Ciceronian list. If a capital V occurs, it signifies 
that the source word is found in Lodge’s Vergilian list. If a 
capital L occurs, it signifies that the source word is found in 
Lodge’s Vocabulary of High School Latin, but is not one of 
the 2,000 Latin words which Professor Lodge recommends for 
memorizing. 
At the top of the page above columns three and four stands 
the word '‘Value”. From the figures in these two columns 
an idea may be gained of the value of the Latin word after 
which they stand as a contributing source to the words in 
Professor Thorndike’s Teacher's Word Book. The number in 
column three is the sum of the frequency index numbers as- 
signed by Thorndike in his Teacher’s Word Book to the de- 
rivatives of the Latin source word after which the number 
stands. For instance, the second word in the Latin list is 
“abominari”. In column three following it is the number 14. 
This number was obtained by adding 9 and 5, the frequency 
index numbers assigned to “abominable” and “abomination” 
in the Teacher’s Word Book. These two words are the only 
derivatives in the Teacher’s Word Book from “abominari”. 
In the case of hybrids only one-half of the index number was 
credited to the Latin source word. For instance, in the word 
“unequal”, the prefix “un-” is native English but “equal” is 
a Latin derivative. The index number of “unequal” is 8 but 
only 4 was credited to “aequus”, the Latin source word of 
“equal”. In the case of such words as “arm” which may be 
native English, meaning a part of the body, or may be of 
Latin origin meaning “to arm”, since it is impossible to say
