* What, then,' said I, * do not struggles in war seem to require art ? ' * Very much so,' said he. * Ought we, then, to take more care of the shoemaking art than of that of warfare.^' *By no means.' * But we charged the shoemaker not to attempt to be at the same time a husbandman, or a weaver, or a builder, in order that' the work of shoemaking might be well done ; and in like manner we allotted to each of the others a single calling, to which each was adapted by nature, and at which each, by a...bstaining from the rest, and applying to it the whole of his life, and not neglecting the proper opportunities, would be likely to work well. But is it not of the greatest importance that what concerns war should be well performed ? Or is it so easy that one who is a husbandman may also be a soldier, and a shoemaker, and one who practises any other art ; while no one could become a skilful chess or dice-player who did not study it from child- hood, but made it a mere bye-work? And can a person who takes a spear, or other warlike arms and instruments, instantly become an expert combatant in an armed encounter, or aught else relating to war ; while, as respects the tools of any other art whatever, one cannot become a good artist, or even a wrestler to any useful extent, without having correct knowledge, and bestowing sufficient attention?' 'In that case, such tools,' said he, 'would truly be very valuable.* * Therefore,' said I, * by how much more important is the work of the State-guardians, by so much will it require the greater leisure from other pursuits, and likewise the greater art and study.' ' I really think so,' replied he."* The truth of this reasoning has certainly lost nothing in force and cogency since the days of Socrates and Plato.
