Unfortunately scientific investigation in Great Britain has revealed a regrettable deterioration in the physique of the race. The experience during the phenomenal recruiting in the course of the Boer War was startling by reason of the large number of applicants to join the military service who were rejected as unfit, and a visit to any of the industrial centres in Britain will amply corroborata medical and scientific testimony that the race physically is not improving. This unhappy condition of affairs cannot be attributed to the social changes already noted. Their origin must be looked for elsewhere. In tracing the causes of this physical deterioration it will be found that one of the most potent factors,

HONGKONG, JUNE 11rs, 1910.

It is perhaps unfortunate that the, national progress of Great Britain towards sobriety should synchronise with the physical degeneracy which has become so noticeable in the race during the past generation or two. The cynic or the pessimist, especially if he be elderly, may profess to regard them as related, but if the conditions be submitted

to calm judgment there will be little doubt that the decision will be against such an opinion. Admittedly the view indicated is formed on certain recognised facts, but, sa othora equally important are ignored, it follows that the argument on which it is founded is fallacious. It is the half truth which is more difficult to refute than the direct lie...

our industrial system, Mon and women wore attracted from rural occupations to the towns and cities, and the difference in the manner of life resulting from the change were bound to prove prejudicial to the race. A population reared on the soil, enjoying outdoor life, and breathing a pure atmos phere, cannot be other than healthy and vigorous, but change the environment, alter the conditions of life, and the people, spend ing most of their hours indoors and outside, inhaling an atmosphere laden with all sorts of impurities, must deteriorate. The effects are not always immediate, but as we have seen they have become particularly apparent after several generations. Utopian schemes need not be suggested by way of remedy, The conscience of the nation has already been roused. It realises the degeneracy of the race and its causes, and we may be sure the decadence will be arrested before long. Changes in the cities in the indus- trial conditions and in the thought of the nation are at work, and the desired result, though: cot speedily realised, will yet be achieved.
