that no soldier should be sent to the front without
at least a year's training. But when a man reaches
30 he does not learn very much and he learns vir-
tually nothing after 40.
The sentimental side of the draft question enters
in with opposition. A boy 19 has had very little
chance to really live to know what he is fighting
for. "He does not have the forethought brought on
by years of experience. The question is a delicate
one since older men are reluctant to ask boys to do
