systematic measurement OF the pupils In the
public schools of Boston show. among other
things. that the growth OF children takes place
in such way that. untn the age OF eleven or

than girls OF the same age; at this period OF life
girls begin 10 grow very rapidly, and for the
next two or three years surp3Ss boys of the
same age both IN height ana weight boys then
acquire and retain size superior TO that OF girls
who have now completed Their growth. Again
the children OF American born parents were
found 10 be taller and heavier than those OF
iolclgn b0In-a superiority seemingly de-
pendent partly on the greater average comfort
Ia which such children live or grow up and
