Thero was a state of publlo morals worse than belongs to any city now standing Under the sum Yet how many think that all that is neces sary is to cultivate the mind and advance tho knowledge and improve the arts.

Do yoit think that sculpture and art are quite mindent for tho production of good morals? Then correct your delusion by examining the statues in the Temple of Mercury at Pom peii, or the winged figures of its Parthenon, and tho colonnades and arches of tills house’ of Diomed.
