Japanese Show
Gain in Stature

Tokyo Aug. 2.-(P1-The Jap
anese, who rank among the short
statured people of the world, one
day may average in heighth with
the nations of the West.
Toyokichi Kita. director Of the
school hygiene section of the depart
ment of education, from statistics
kept for twenty years of heights and
weights of Japanese school children
finds that Nipponese boys and girls
are gradually attaining increased and
height and weight. This tendency
has been more marked in the las:
few years.
Gain After Twelfth Year
During the 1900-l920 period boys
of seven years showed no gain In
stature but those of eight to eleven
years gained an average OF one
tenth to one fifth of an inch A
steady increase in average stature
began when they reached twelve
years. The gain at the age of
twelve was two fifths af an inch and
at sixteen was seven tenths. Youths
of seventeen to twenty showed
slightly smaller increases.
The average increase in girls sta
ture was greater. Girls from seven
10 twelve gained from one to three
tenths of an inch. At the age Of
thirteen the gain leaped to three
ffths of an inch and increased
steadily until 1t reached a full inch
at the age of nineteen.
Noticeable Among Women
"The increase in the stature OF
young students, particularly female
students, is remarkable" said Mr..
kita. There are many factors that
make for this increase. but a vast
change in the mode of living has
been chiefly responsible.
1T is interesting to note that stud
ents in the city gained more in aver
Age stature than those in the coun-
try. This shows that students who
