ferfor to Those of Boston.
DR.. Frank L. Riley, physical director Of
the Y. NJ. C. A, has about completed his
anthropometrical chart, which contains
the measurements taken about q year ago.
Of 200 students Of the Central high school,
In comparing his chart with that Of DR..
Sergeant. professor Of physical culture Of
Harvard university. and an acknowledged
authority on physical training. DR.. Riley
has found that the pupils In the high
school of this city are far below those of
the high schools OF Boston in regard
to their physical condition. Physical
culture has been q feature Of the public
schools of Boston for several years. In
chest, neck, head, forearm and height
measurements. the average Of the pupils
Of the high school Of this city Is far below
that Of the pupils Of the same age in the
schools of Boston The hip and waist
measurements of the students here are
larger than those Of the Bostonian pupil.
This indicates. SO DIR. Riley says. that the
Kansas City student IS inferior to the pupils
in the Boston schools as regards their
vital dimensions.
This chart will be used by DR.. John Pun
tion in making a report on the nervous
condition Of the pupils Of the high school
at the next teacer5 meeting.
