Latin was much more important a hundred years ago than it is today. Also, a college education was not a given back then.

OTOH, I can imagine the HS-level Physics books were very different from the ones we studied with, with different subjects given different depths.

Latin is a good subject to learn as the foundation of many modern languages, and subsequently other subjects such as logic and philosophy.
