SAVE TALENT, STATES HISAW

One Year at College Would Determine Future Service

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Draft All Men, Says Hisaw

Professor Hisaw has long advocated drafting all men and assigning them on detached duty to the particular work where they would be most useful. "If this program is applied to young men who have proceeded far enough to know where they are going, if could be used wisely for the good of higher education and of the professions," he said.
