The physician should have had experience of disease in his own body, for he cures with his mind and not with his body.

But the judge controls mind by mind; and therefore his mind should not be corrupted by crime.

Where then is he to gain experience?
How is he to be wise and also innocent?
When young a good man is apt to be deceived by evil-doers, because he has no pattern of evil in himself; and therefore the judge should be of a certain age; his youth should have been innocent, and he should have acquired insight into evil not by the practice of it, but by the observation of it in others.

This is the ideal of a judge; the criminal turned detective is wonderfully suspicious, but when in company with good men who have experience, he is at fault, for he foolishly imagines that every one is as bad as himself.
Vice may be known of virtue, but cannot know virtue.

This is the sort of medicine and this the sort of law which will prevail in our State; they will be healing arts to better natures; but the evil body will be left to die by the one, and the evil soul will be put to death by the other.
And the need of either will be greatly diminished by good music which will give harmony to the soul, and good gymnastic which will give health to the body.
