NOT only has the average
~ height increased, but the
proportion of tall men Is greater
than during the last war. More
than y per cent of those 20 10
80 years Of age were over 5 feet
10 inches all in l943. as COM
pared with D. per cent in 1917.
There were about 2ia per cent
more 6-footers in 1943 than in
1917, which means the proper
ton is one-third greater at pres
ent than II was quarter of
century ago. II is interesting To
note that the average height Of
selectees over IS was less than
the average height of those
under 20. In other words. the
older men were of somewhat
lesser stature than the younger
ones.
These figures are substanti-
ated 10 a greater extent by a
number OF studies which have
been carried out in school chill
dren
For example. in Toronto il
was shown that the average ele-
mentary school boy or girl in
1899 was actually two inches
taller than the child of the same
age in 1892. These&ncreases in
height can be taken as meas
