The ideal height for a man, according to observations from a military point of view, is an inch and a half under six feet. It does not eera to be intended by nature that the male human animal shall exceed this stature if due regard is to l?e had for development at all [mints. On the other hand, it is an )bviou8 disadvantage for physical :ff?etiveness to be under the average number of inches. At five feet len and a half a man attains his hest development of muscle and :>one, with highest vital efficiency. Jint what is the average heifer a man seems to be not satisi lorily settled.

On the )ther hand, the American Indian* ?re taller than we are, and the iborigiues of Patugoina are the oftiest folk in the world, inasmuch is the men commonly run over six feet in height.
