or PEDAGOGUE, a tutor or master, to whom is committed the discipline and direction of a scholar, to be instructed in grammar and other arts. The word is formed from the Greek παιδος αγωγης, "leader of boys."

M. Fleury observes, that the Greeks gave the name pedagogus to slaves appointed to attend their children, lead them, and teach them to walk, &c. The Romans gave the same denomination to the slaves who were intrusted with the care and instruction of their children.
