Wisdom?

Students need not be diffident about expressing their views. They are the people immediately concerned and will be shot before the M.Ps. Dr. Beeby said he was far from being one of those who hold that wisdom is not wisdom till it has been filtered thtrough false teeth and a crop of white whiskers. Students are at least as likely to make wise decisions on peace or war as more mature and prudent persons who own armament shares.

Student opinion would not be representative of the country as a whole. If it were many expensive educations would have been wasted We are all fed on slogans and emotional sop. A rational attitude is the contribution of the student type to the worlds' welfare. The ballot all the same could not be answered in cold logic. If it did no more than force us to make absolutist statements it would be good. If a thing has once been thought out clearly there is more chance for reason to prevail in a crisis.
