69 twenty to thirty, and the next five years are to be given to dialectics ; then fifteen years are to be spent in the active duties of civil and military government ; and from fifty years of age on, the man or woman is to be contemplating the Idea of the Good, and con- trolling the state in its highest concerns. In looking at this scheme of education, one thing that strikes us is that its two parts are, or seem to be, controlled by distinct and different ideas. In the first part, the leading i...dea is a moral one ; the aim to be attained and by which the methods are de- termined is a moral aim. This is plain in the treat- ment of literature. Nothing is to be admitted, no matter how great the name or the skill of any author, which will give to the youth of this ideal state wrong ideas of the character of the gods, fear of death, or license in excessive indulgence of any emotion. So also as to musical modes and rhythms ; such as are simple and severe in their moral effect are alone tol- erated.
