The increase in weight from year to year. 



In referring I;ack to the methodics, page 19 (increase in height), 

 we note that the tables 4 a — cl furnish information about as well the 

 absolute as the percentage increase in weight from year to year. A gra- 

 phical presentation of the latter will be found on fig. 11. The public 

 school material sho7v — compared to the valuations for increase in height 

 J à 4% (page 5) — an increase betzueen 8 and a little more than pV2% 

 for tlie boys, from almost ç to 12% for girls. With the boys is seen, 

 after a rather wavy course, with its highest top about year 10 (the same 

 as with respect to height), a tendency to stronger increase after 13 (also 

 with respect to height was increase showed at this time). The girl curve 

 is, without exception, on a higher plane then the boy curve. An even, 

 steady, from year to year increasing energy of growth from 9 to 13 is 

 seen on the girls curve, diverging strongly from that of the boys. The 

 curves for the higher schools 2Lt once make a peculiar impression on the 

 eye by the markedly parallelphenomena between the maximum of the
