The Rate OF Human Growth
From the PHILADELPHIA Bulletin.

(trom the Philadelphia Bulletin.)
" We grow at uniform rate, said
a physician. " There are rules of
growth that unconsciously we all
obey.
"Take the average man. He grows
as follows:
" First year, eight inches; second
year, six inches third year, FIVE
inches; fourth year, four inches fifth
year, four inches sixth year, four
inches. From the sixth year on the
growth is slower until the sixteenth
year-it is only one and half inches
a year. The seventeenth year has a
growth of twoinches. The ighteenth
year has growth of one inch.
" At eighteen the average man is
five feet eight inches high. There after
he grows no more"
