Always tho Greatest
Looking at the matter somewhat broadly
and emitting minor variations. It may be
said that two vigorous but somewhat wide
ly divergent races. or group Of races, now
occupy Europe and the lands that have
been peopled from Europe. The one race
is tall, fair and usually long headed; the
other short, dark and usually broad headed.
Since the dawn Of European history at
least and with special vigor about 1000
years ago the tall. fair. energetic race has
been she'd as a seminal principle from the
northeast Of Europoover a great part Of the
continent held By darker and perhaps
more civilized race.
The physical characteristics Of Europe
have been very favorable TO the spread and
fusion OF these fine races, and the outcome
has been the strongest and most variously
gifted breed Of men that the world has ever
seen. Wherever the races have remained
comparatively pure we seldom find any
high OF energetic civilization and never
any fine Towering Of genius Sweden,
where the tall. fair. long headed race exists
in its purest form. has produced no imagi-
native genius. Auvergne. where the dark.
broad headed race may be found in great
purity, has in like manner produced a
vigorous but an undistinguished breed Of
men.

a fairly unmixed race Of dark. long headed
men live. have. unlike sicily or Gard. pro

hand, we find land where Two unlike
races, each Of fine quality, have become
intermingled and are in process Of fusion,
there we find breed Of men who have left
their mark on the world and have given

Such are TIE fair and tall but broad

been yielded by Normandy and Tuscany

: It is certain that ono Of his most character

in the north, and the geographical and

in perfection the conditions which enable
