THE AMERICAN STATURE.
The Loss of Inch In Height Might
Bring Serious Consequences.

The Loss of an Inch In Height Might
Bring Serious Consequences.
In paper read by Major Henry S
| Kilbourne, surgeon United States army,
before the Association of Military Sur
geons of the United States, he advocated
the theory that the physical power of IA
race or people-and consequently their
capacity for works measured by their
average stature. For every inch of
height between five and six feet the ex-
treme breathing capacity is increased
eight cubic inches, the vital capacity
being at it's maximum at 35 years. A
table of measurements of 1870, SO native
white Americans, accepted for the mill
tary service of the United States, shows
that the number of men below SO inches
in height is but little greater than that
of the class above 73 inches. The most
numerous class is included between 81
and 80 inches, and this standard class
would have greater chest girth than
the average The mean height of 1876
United States naval cadets above the
age of 23 years was $3.50 inches. AS
these men are drawn from all parts and
classes of the United States they repre-
sent very nearly the typical physical
development of the American people of
% years of age
Major Kilbourne concludes that the
commingling strains of Celtic Danish,
Norwegian and German blood among
our people have thus far worked no de-
terioration of physical quality. mot so
with the swarthy, low browed and
stunted people now swarming to our
shores. Absorbed into the body of the
people, these multitudes must irretriev
ably evolve an inferiority of type. To
realize the result of such contingency
let it be considered that the loss of an
inch in stature might bring in its train
the loss of national asoendency. Let us
take care, then, that the state shall
suffer no injury boston Transcript
