CHILDREN OF SCHOOL AGE.

ana HOW 1ucy OTo" LII hSAShS <>
Weight-F1gures from Normandy.
Many studies have been made of the
growth in height and weight and cir
cumference of babies and young chill
dren; but the ideal development OF
older children at the school age is
much les understood. DR.. G.. Kimp-
fin has submitted to the French
Academy of Medicine some figures on
this subject which have an additional
interest because they were obtained
from a school Of 200 children in Nor
mandy, where the pupils are brought
up on what we may call hygienic prin-
ciples. That is to say, their physical
education is as much part Of the
school curriculum as their mental in
struction; and consequently NJ. Kimp-
fin permits himself to hope that his
statistics, which indeed signify a
higher standard of physical develop
ment among his subjects" than has
been arrived at by some other statis-
ticians represent what ought to be the
DEVELOPMENT between the ages of IL
and 16 years. The measurments
made were three-the height, the
weight and the chest, measured when
at rest and when inflated. The mean
of these measurments, in centimeters
or in kilogrammes was taken for the
whole school for the ages II to 16,
every pupil being measured six times
a year for five years. The average
height increased in these five years
from 145 to 167 1-2 centimeters, or
from about four feet 1-2 inches to
five feet five inches; the weight from
81 ga pounds to 126 pounds, and the
chest measurment from 26 1-2 inches
to 80 1-2 inches-on the whole a
healthy and well-developed set OF
children one would say.
But the chief interest of NJ. kimp-
fins figures, which are too numerous
| to be given from year to year in de-
tail, is that they disclose the curves
of development in all these dimen-
sions. They show that the rythm OF
growth is divisible into two parts, the
first of which extends from II to Ia
years, during which the children
grow chiefly in height; and the Sec
ond of which, lasting from IA to 16
years, is the period of increase in
weight. Some other curious relations
between weight and height and be-
tween height and the chest measur'
ment can be discerned. In healthy
child the height remains double the
chest measurement over the whole
five years. The weight, however, in
creases in relation to the height in q
steady arithmetical progression, sc
that a boy or girl Of 16 is proper
tionately considerably heavier in re-
lation to the height than one of II
The weight increases in similar arith

chest measurement, but there is {
