When should a man retire from active life
A survey in Indianapolis gathers opinions on retirement ages. Postmaster McGinnis says retire before 70 for heavy work, later for brain work. Brayton argues 40 is a prime age for effectiveness, retirement only as mind fails. Stansfield believes there is no age limit, while Zion urges not to retire before 70 for railroad service. Hart supports continuing if health remains, Smock ties retirement to mental burden, noting individual variation.
