In q leading article that recently appeared IN
vour columns it was Justly observed that despite
the fondness for and aptitude in athletic sports
characterizing the English people, Br1tons OF
the present generation cannot boast OF H. g1easer s
attained by their forefathers. This statement,
which I hhye no doubts wall founded, suggested
to me an inquiry with respect to the actual state
OF physical standards in Prussia as compared
with their conditions half q century ago, shortly
after the conclusion Of the War Of Emancipation,
which left Germany impoverished and enfeebled,
though victorious. The few trustworthy data
have been able to CLEAN upon this subject may
not be without interest for your readers: Moth 10Th
