LECTURES ON WAR.

Public school Teachers.
An interesting lecture On war. its results
and influences on the formation OF the
physical condition OF nations was given
by Dr. David Starr jordan. president OF
Leland Stanford Junior University. Cal
ifo-nia, before the teachers OF the public
schools of this city and the general pub
lie at the Central High School, yester-
day afternoon
The lecturer showed successfully the
physical fitness and condition OF the old
Romans. the Greeks. and the French
people under the regime OF Napoleon the
Great Or. Jordan argued that the phys
ically, morally. and mentally best de-
veloped young man was he who had the
best chance OF being the first killed
should war overtake the country. Ac-
cording to the pedagogue il was the
useful. strong bright young man who
goes 70 war 10 fight his country-s bat
ties. leaving behind him the weak. the
decrepIt. the paUPers. knaves. and Grim
inals.
The flower Of the country. should war
take place, leaves its blood on the bat
tlefeld- DR.. Jordan claimed that as al
the best people were killed in war, It was
the duty Of those who had been left be-
hind. the wesklings, and others. to
propagate the race, which natur-
ally would deteriorate IN support OF
his argument the lecturer said the French
Of to-day were not the same French
which fought Nspoleon's battles. that
they were smaller in every respect, be-
ing the descendants Of the stay-at-homes
when France under Napoleon fought the
combined world with her best young
men The same argument was applied TO
Rome and Greecs.
