MENTAL EDUCATION OF A GREEK YOUTH 



Photogravure from the Painting by Otto Knille 



Greek youths were carefully trained by educators who gave equal attention 

 to the physical and the mental needs of their charges, severity of ordeal being 

 characteristic of both. The picture opposite is a reproduction of a section of 

 a frieze painted by Knille for the library of the Berlin University, in which 

 by a series of four pictures the artist very admirably depicted the prime 

 features that distinguished the process of Greek education.
