Table 4a. —Comparison of Data: Girls —Weights (Pounds).

Graphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 give the height and weight results of the present investigation compared with those of other countries. The figures for the British Association Committee (Antropometric ) refer to the findings of the Committee originally set up in 1883, which it will be noted are appreciably higher than those of Greenwood (1908-11) based on 720,000 English children. The Toronto figures are taken from a publication of the Departnent of Public Health, Toronto. The American figures are those of Boas (see Terman's " Hygiene "). The Australian figures are from Dr. Harvey-Sutton's " Report on School Antropometry " (N.S.W., 1918-19), to which publication|we|acknowledge much indebtedness. Since the above was written a publication of the Detroit Board of Education, June, 1921, has come into our possession. In this publication the results for 250,000 American children are quoted from the work of T. D. Wood, M.D. These results approximate those of Toronto shown in the above graph.
