For if he did not come back they would have to obey zthose odious laws forever. But they [did not find him, Lycurgus never ` was seen again". rlrnlinnu n nhnnavn nnwan "Plan A1!` Gradually a change came. The old generation of arm-chair critics died off. A number of prominent funerals were of great advantage to the`coun- try. A new generation of Spartans grew up who were accustomed to obey theseiaws. They were a hardy, ab- ` stemious, warrior race. The ease and luxury were gone. With them the country grew in vigor and power until `it became the foremost state of `Greece. Then they recognized that lit was the laws of Lycurgus which had made them great. When they obeyed these strict and self-denying laws, ` `the country grew strong because its citizens were strong. nnhn mnvn fhnu unnn-hf Tmvnnv-ans ` WKIS BUCK!
