WEIGHING GIRLS
IN HIGH SCHOOL
Am l too fat?"
Gam l too thin 2

Am | too thin !!
Let us see.
There are about 200 girls in the
Baraboo high school and Miss Ma
lora Stanbury, teacher in domestic
science, weighed them all and found
that Al are under weight and Al are
over weight Of these some are so
near normal that no special diet is
recomme ended. In the end II were
advised to reduce and 80 to gain in
flesh.
Those who are reducing are eating
getables-lettuce cabbage, spinage
and celery and to exercise more.
The thin ones are eating more starch
and sweets. Candy and the like are
tabooed by these who are reducing
and this, of course, is great cross.
Miss Stanbury found that some Of
the girls who thought they were eat
ing enough were not. In one case a
girl was getting about 1900 calories
while she should have more and this
was increased to 1900
To be sure Miss StanOury does not
expect to bring all of those who re-
duce down to the standard weight
nor those who increase up to what
they should be, yet much can be
done by exercise and diet.
The girls in the Baraboo higA
school are much more near the nor
NAL than in some schools, the in
structor says, and hopes in time to
have the At nearer the ideal weight.
