IS THIS YOUNG MANS AGE?1 Golden Period of Achievement Comet When Man la Well Past Forty Years of Age, It Is Claimed. Our times are frequently called the age of the young men. But when one looks back to the revolutionary era of our country, from 1775 to 1825, and considers the striking youthfulness of the leaders of America the appellation does not appear exactly to fit, said a New York man In a recent Interview. Nor do the men now In their twenties and thirties push the men of the forties and fifties hard enough to prove that this is the young mans age. Unless men of forty are considered young, this scarcely is a' young mans age. The youngsters under thirty receive an undue degree of attention from the professions and business. A notion prevails that the latest graduate from college, technical school or university Is more desirable than the man who has had courses la lifes Best sellers, college of experience. movies and magazine articles about business foster the notion. Consequently, a distressingly large number of men from twenty-fiv- e to thirty expect to be the bosses of big businesses or corresponding professions or technical vocations by the time they are ly post-gradua- te thirty-fiv- e. Many will, If they work hard ond prove to possess capacity, occupy positions of responsibility. But scarcely at thirty-fivThe golden age of achievement really comes In most cases 15 years later. In fact, the present age Is the age of the mature man. In literature the success today Is not the' man of thirty. Irvin Cobb would almost universally be considered a success in literature, but Cobb is forty-on- e and has not reached the fullness of his power. George Ade is Frank Cobb, a Tarklngton forty-eighchief writer of editorial, The success achieved through development of talent, hard work and sacrifice is reserved for the mature. e. fifty-on- t, forty-eigh- t.
