He wants TO be taller and he
wants it right now. For these peo-
pie book has recently been pub
ished, Short Stature and Height
Increase by C. J. Gerling liar
vest House, publishers). 1t tells
about all there is to tell on the
subject
The factor that seems to be
most operative in height deter
mination is heredity. 1t is true
that the mechanism of heredity
being what it is, il doesn't always
seem to work, and little parents
may have comparative giants for
sons and daughters. There is q
tendency for this characteristic
to skip a generation or so. But
DR.. Franz Boas, the well known
American anthropologist, states
that heredity is not prime factor
in a persons stature, and that
such things as behavior, diet and
living conditions play much more
important parts.
Climatic Theory
This book does not mention the
theory of DR.. Clarence Mills Of
Cincinnati that weather affects
growth. For years, until recently,
the temperate climate Of the globe
has been getting colder and for
eighty years college freshmen
have been getting taller. Lately,
a warm spell has set in and DR..
Mills reported that records Of
height and weight for university
freshmen were tending downward.
DR.. Mills thinks that if body heat
is rapidly disposed Of, as in 4 cold
climate, it stimulates the body
cells to grow faster.
The body does not grow in arith-
metical progression as age ad-
vances, but in spurts, nor do all
the parts Of the body grow at the
same rate. "The growth of the
body" wrote c. B. Davenport, az
the resultant of several growth
promoting internal stimuli. They
act at different times and upon diff
ferent organs. In different races,
the relative activity of these slim
uli is diverse so that some races
are long-legged and others short
legged, ETC."
The effects Of the ductless
glands, foods and exercises are
discussed in different chapters by
Mr.. Gerling. DR.. j. C. Meakins,
of McGill University, is quoted as
. saying:
Diet Important
"Given a normal pituitary and
thyroid function, with a proper
supply Of Vitamin B, amino acids.
ample food supply and physical
exercise, between the ages of S and
20, the stature Of race may be
increased to the optimum of Greek
perfection. Comparison of Diff
ferent races of differing stature
shows striking differences in the
consumption Of milk, milk prod
ucts and meat to degree that is
considered significant. Improve
ment in the dietary is responsible
for the increased growth of Chi
nese children who have migrated
TO Hawaii"
Mr.. Gerling has a chapter on
posture and one on devices such as
stretching and finally one on stat
ure aids such as special shoes and
the effect Of vertical designs
rather than horizontal in clothes.
The book will certainly be inter-
esting to anyone troubled about
his stature, although too much
hope should not be held out in the
present state of our knowledge.
