1T is sophistry to argue in favor OF
a small man for military purposes, par
ticularly an officer. He cannot have a
military personality, no matter what his
intellectual attainments."
This is admitted the world over, and
is carefully considered by military ma
lions in the selection Of their officers.
Enlisted men generally judge an officer
by his outward appearance.
''It can be set down as principle that
a small man Is rarely a successful OFF,

Snub for Little Men
As Officers in Navy
Medical Inspector Says They Don't Inspire
Confidence, and Would Raise Require
ment to Five Feet Six Inches

sumption that the midshipmen will grow
several inches while in the Academy
DR.. Ames insists the allowance for
growth in the Academy Is too liberal
and the result Is graduating classes
which contain many abbreviated mid
dies not sufficiently commanding in ap-
pearance TO be officers
Too much risk is assumed on posi-
bilities,' says DR.. Ames. Some ex-
IRENE case is quoted of phenomenal
growth having occurred in one or two
years, and this exceptional case is the
excuse which has opened the door. The
short, ill-developed youth Is taken ia
with the vague hope that the regular
life and systematic training will, in
violation of all physiological laws. pro-
Guce the wished for results.
The present requirements for height
are too low. II the records of the Acad-
envy are of any value, they prove that
we cannot expect but the fractional part
of an inch increase in height after the
age Of eighteen years.
To insure a mean height In our naval
officer, II would be well 10 have a Law
passed fixing standard in height of
feet inches, which must be reached
at the time OF graduating
The natives of our country are large
men. An examination of 315,620 native
born Americans gives a mean height of
6I612 inches. with a mean chest meas
ure OF 33.41S inches. Are we asking too
much to fix the minimum height for the
graduate at feet inches, when the
mean for our people is feet ~ inches?''
