To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" All the voices of generations of boys, bound down to indoor studies when wood and field and river are calling them, the complaint of ages of fevered hurry and bustle, looking back with regret on the days of " leisure " and " springtide, " seem to echo in Aristophanes' lament for the ways that were no more. " This education, " he goes on, " produced a good chest, sound complexion, broad shoulders, small tongue ; the new style produces pale faces, small shoulders, narrow chest, and long tongue,... and makes the boy confuse Honour with Dishonour : it fills the Baths, empties the Palaistra. " The next witness to be called is Isokrates. He is somewhat prejudiced by his dream of restoring the Areiopagos to its old power, but he is an educational expert and his evidence is supported by that of many others. In the days when the* Areiopagos had the superintendence of morals, he says, 1 " the young did not spend their time in the gambling dens, and with flute-girls and company of that sort, as they do now, but they remained true to the manner of life which was laid down for them.
