CURRENT COMMENT.

CURPRIsE expressed by many
drafted men that they have been
accepted in spite Of this or that vague
defect which they had imagined
would make them undesirable as sol
diers betrays a wide spread belief
that the first CONSUMPTION army was
to be made up Of singularly athletic
men, veritable supermen. But they
forget that our supermen, if any such
animals can be said to exist, are al

Of them--and that the draft army is
to be our second line. For it is to be
assumed that men who have enlisted
have the greatest natural aptitude
for arms, since government at peace
or in the first weeks of war is more
particular about the requirements of
recruits than it is later when taking
on men at the rate Of five or six hun
dred thousand at time.

MANY young fellows who graduated
from high school last spring, and
are not eligible for the draft, are
hesitating as to whether to go to work
for a living, go into business or col
lege. Many Of them are disposed TO
accept business because they have an
idea that college doesn't get fellow
anywhere" Without arguing the gem
eral question, attention many be called
to an incident in connection with the
war. When the War Department de-
sired to train large corps of officers
for the new national army it turned
at once to college graduates. Lists
were obtained from every college of
standing, and special appeal was
sent out to men of college training to
try for commissions. The army took
it for granted that college graduates
as class were likely TO prove good
material for leaders of men. Such an
opinion might very well be based on
the statistics from the standard book |
of biographies of living Americans,
who's Who in America" OF the six
teen thousand men of sufficient promi-
hence to be included in this book, So
per cent are college graduates and II
per cent have attended college. As
only trifling percentage Of the popu-
lation gets TO college, this showing is
most remarkable. or course, nobody
would assert for a moment that lack
Of college training bars man from .
success. But the evidence points to I
The fact that if young fellow has a
