Table 14 a. 

 Weight-height proportion. Boys The public school. 



In closing this chapter on the weight-height proportion, we again 

 emphasize, that our numeric values concern whole year-groups. \\ e do 

 not, f. inst., even touch upon the very important phenomenon, that the 

 tall individuals of a year class averagely ("normally") have a lower 

 weight-height proportion than the small ones in the class. The chapter 

 is of great importance both anthropometrically and practical-hygienically, 

 and we are at present making special studies concerning this under my 

 administration ("Nordisk hygienisk tidsskrift" 1923, nr. i).
