and freedom from childish

folly and passion.

If a new word should be introduced to express this function, the
Greek word SOPHROSYNE would be a very

good one, as it signifies a
self-controlled

and reasonable nature. The verb ANDRISO, signifying to render hardy, manly, strong, to display vigor,
and make a manly effort of self-control, would be
equally appropriate in the adjective form, ANDRIKOS, and still more
