Council of Research announces tha
Civil War physical standards were
considerably higher than those of t
day. The minimum height limit, now
reduced to 61 inches, was then o4
inches. The weight and chest meas
lire requirements, too. were higher
It develops that the average Amer
ican of the early sixties was really
taller and heavier, and had a bigger
chest nieasurement. than the average
American of today. It was there
fore necessary to lower the require
ments in order to provide an adequate
number of men.
We need not conclude, however,
many have done, that the average
American today is necessarily infer
ior in physique and fighting power to
the American of half a century ago
The difference, it appears, is largely
a difference of race. It isn't that the
tons of Civil War soldier are small
er than they were, hut that immigra
tion has changed the average meas
nrements of the nation.
The old standards ere based oi
the sire of tall races, "northern Eu
ropcans, negroes and Indians." Pres
ent standards have been adjusted to
meet the change made by the great
infusion of smaller races, such
the southern Slavs, Italians. Russians.
Austrians. French and Swiss.
Thee races are not usually regard
ed a? any less vigorously merely
because they are smaller. It has been
proved in the present war that "ban
tam regiments, whatever their na
tionality or race, show no fighting
inferiority to regiments of big men
