Consequently he must be mechanically trained for soldiership, so that in the hour of actual test, his mind may be made free to wage "an intelligent warfare." Aside from statements like the following: "It is impossible to cultivate a soldierly posture without feeling the dignity of one's manhood," which he will pardon me for calling a little absurd--Mr. Allport's article seems to me extremely sound and valuable...
