Aae and Efficiency.

In that lively inaugural address of his at the University Of Nermont,e Proxy Benton said that the most valu- able and valued men in the councils of thought today are men over 50, and that the ''age-l limit of highest efficiency is now 65. The New York Herald asked some of the country's elders whether they concurred in these views. and Pickering, 65, concurs; he points to the justices of the Supreme Coure and to Dr. c. w. Eliot as proofs. John D. Long, 73, says you cannot fix any age of highest efficiency; the attempt is ridiculous" Simeon P. Shope, "A, formerly chief justice of Illinois, is convinced that the average man is out of commission at 65, but owns that there are many and impressive exceptions. EX-Judge A. N.
