COrporal Size No Advantage,

Our diminutive size is not an mfr
nifty Abstractly considered am Just
as large as you are all dimensions are
relative and especially in intellectual
beings is it impossible to fix any abso-
lutte standard of size. Physical health
is, of course, q grand consideration,
but muscular strength or corporal size
is matter of the least possible i'm
portance. Your Brooklyn bridge could
have been built as we'll by men three,
four or five feet tall as by men of six.
Your greatest physical achievements
are not the result of muscular power
of individuals, but of brain power.
Even your absurd and wicked battles,
the only place where mere bodily
strength is held to be of any conse-
quence, are won. if won at all, by
brains rather than by Drawn. Oh,
no; large bodies are of no benefit to
race. OF course the largest indi-
viduals in community have a GER
tain advantage over their smaller
brothers, but an increase in the aver
age physical stature of a race cannot
be considered an improvement, rather
the reverse. 1t takes less to clothe,
feed and provide shelter for small peo-
pie than for large ones, and as the size
of the earth is limited, it is evident
that the smaller the inhabitants. the
greater will be the inheritance of each,
and, as have said, race of giants
would accomplish no greater material
results than have been achieved by
the smallest races of civilized men.
