Chapter III of Book I. There we saw that, according to the Greeks, a complete education demanded three things, (1) a n.o.ble nature, (2) training through habit, (3) instruction. For the first Plato would do what can be done by artificial selection of parents; for the second, he would depend upon music and gymnastics; for the third, upon philosophy. In these last two divisions we have the root of the mediaeval _trivium_ and _quadrivium_. The Platonic pedagogical system seeks to separate the ign.o.ble from the n.o.ble natures, and to place the former in the lowest cla.s.s. It then trains the n.o.ble natures in music and gymnastics, and, while this is going on, it tries to distinguish those natures which are capable of rising above mere training to reflective or philosophic thought, from those which are not. The latter it a.s.signs to the military cla.s.s, which always remains at the stage of training, while the former are instructed in philosophy, and, if they prove themselves adepts, are finally admitted to the ruling cla.s.s, as sages. Any member of either of the higher cla.s.ses who proves himself unworthy of that cla.s.s, may at any time be degraded into the next below.
