 more than half of the time (poor and crowded housing, poor ventilation, 

 no rationel bedtime, &c.). 



We then return to the curves fig. 3 and to talkie 2 and verify that 

 the diversity of height between the public schools and the higher schools 

 that reach highest of the series is on the average 5.92 cm.; that as an 

 example the height of the 10 year olds at the public school is about ^^ 

 95.9% of the 10 year olds at the higher school; the 14 year olds 95-5%. 



As to the girls we refer to table 2 b. It should be noted that Nissens 

 school for girls (higher) on account of some recruiting from the city's 

 east side (the poorer part) does not, in a social respect, reach up to 

 Frogner school for boys (higher). The schools can therefore not be quite 

 compared. It is seen that the 10 year olds at the public school has a 

 height corresponding to 97 /c of that of the 10 year olds at Nissen; the
