AGESILAUS, king of Sparta, being asked what things he thought most proper for boys to learn , replied: "those things which they should practice when they become men." His reply was in perfect harmony with the good judgement of mankind, and cannot fail to be appreciated by all who have good common sense. If AGESILAUS lived at the present time, the question would most probably have included both boys and girls, and undoubtedly his reply would be so worded as to apply to men and women.
