ManyAmericans suffer from the condition. But, many also are trying to help people with depression. They are finding waysto bring attention to depression and ways to treat it.For example, thousands of people take part in what are called “Out of the Darkness Walks.” 38 They alsohope to raise money for suicide prevention efforts and research into depression.Steve Iselin served in the Navy for 20 years. After his retirement, he began to look for another job. That is whenhe began feeling hopeless. He said,“I had a great sense of dread every day. Agony is another word that comes to mind.I didn’t want to do anything that I would normally like to do. I had no interest in seeing other people.” Steve Iselin didfind a job. But he left after one week because he told himself he could not do the work. Everything he did seemed verydifficult. Decisions were painful, even having to choose what he would wear that day or what to eat. Mr. Iselin wassuffering from depression.Bob Gebbia heads the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. He says being depressed is very differentfrom being sad or having a bad day. He says that about 20 million people are found to have clinical depression in theUnited States every year. 39 He notes that some people are more likely than others to get depressed. “Let’s sayyou lose your job, divorce, or, you know, a loss of someone.”After Robin Williams’ death, the American Foundation for the Prevention of Suicide released a statement.The foundation said Mr. Williams: “brought laughter into every life he touched; Robin also suffered fromdepression. 40 Every 13 minutes someone dies from suicide, and it is among the top ten causes of death in theU.S.” The group said more needs to be done to prevent suicides. It called for greater attention to mental health issues,warning signs, and effective forms of intervention and treatment.Steve Iselin was lucky. His wife recognized the signs of depression. She helped him get the expert care heneeded. But he says that was not true of his brother’s son. Mr. Iselin says his nephew became depressed a few yearslater and killed himself. A year after his nephew’s death, Mr. Iselin visited his brother in San Francisco and heardabout the “Out of the Darkness Walks.” The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention organized the event.

According to the experts, the secret to 41 a dangerous animal encounter, like one with a shark, bearor rattlesnake, is to not panic. “Easier said than done, and sounds obvious, but seriously, try and keep your cool,” Ms.Levin said. The best thing to do during such an encounter is to 42 yourself slowly from the scene if you can.If you come face-to-face with a bear, mountain lion or coyote, do your best to look 43 . Stand tall, huddle together,open your coats, and raise your backpack overhead. In addition, do not feed wild animals; the more you feed them, themore they grow 44 humans, and stick around people — which leads to people treating them like 45 andtrying to poison, trap, or kill them. In general, it's better if wild animals retain a healthy fear of (and distance from)humans in densely populated places.

The text includes themyths of Perseus, Heracles, Jason and the Argonauts, and Ulysses; and the entire volume is divided into 100 sectionsof Latin, which are roughly a paragraph in length. Although Ritchie assumes that readers know all five declensions,pronouns, and active and passive verbs from the beginning of the Perseus readings, he does not introduce thesubjunctive mood until the middle of the Heracles selections or indirect discourse and ablative absolutes until Jasonand the Argonauts. Ritchie’s purpose is to provide readers with an opportunity to master simple Latin grammar andmorphology before they encounter more complex constructions in the later stories, and he does so while presentingstudents with an informative and thoroughly engaging storyline.This Latin text was first published by Ritchie in 1884 in a volume called Fabulae Faciles: A First Latin Reader.In 1903, John Kirtland produced a revised edition of the book under the title Ritchie’s Fabulae Faciles: A First LatinReader. Kirtland modified Ritchie’s Latin text, added grammatical notes, and eliminated a section of drill exercisesfound in the original volume. Kirtland’s book remained the standard edition until 1991, when another revised volumewas prepared by Gilbert Lawall, Stanley Iverson, and Allan Wooley, entitled Fabulae Graecae: A Revised Edition ofRitchie’s Fabulae Faciles. While the first two books are out of copyright and can be downloaded for free, the FabulaeGraecae remains available in paperback. The aim of this current edition(2012) is to make Ritchie’s myths even moreaccessible to intermediate-level Latin readers.
