Tho Growth Of Children.

AHO Oh Cn11Orens
The rule of growth is that child
should increase Two pounds in weight
for every inch in height between three
and four feet, and two and half
pounds for every inch between four
and five feet A remarkable fact is
that the boys at the public schools and
young men at the universities, and
entering the public service, here called
the upper classes, average about three
inches taller, and from six pounds to
twenty pounds heavier, than boys in
, the board schools and young appren-
tees and workmen. Two causes may
be assigned for this: first, heredity;
and secondly, favorable surroundings.
Deficient and improper food, town air,
! laborious work at early ages, all stunt
the growth. Every one knows how a
