Americans are given overmuch to
stressing the fact that this is young
mans age. The call is, not for youth,
but everywhere for ability, fidelity and
endurance, moralizes the Atlanta Con-
stitution. II the candidate for occu-
patton or promotion fits these qualifi-
cations, it is rather immaterial wheth-
er he is twenty-five or twice that age.
A fairly significant fact is that few
men occupy high responsibilities in
government, business or the profes-
sions until their hair is tinged with
gray. And, in England, especially,
they do not think a man is mature un-
til he climbs into his fourth decade.
