GROWTH OF HOBART SCHOOL BOYS. 829 
Let me, however, remind you that great height is only 
desirable when there is increase of weight and chest-girth 
in proportion. More heat is lost by the abnormally tall 
than by those of average height. Greater height means 
increased work for the heart and skeletal muscles, and 
therefore more mechanical labour. Thus, the abnormally 
tall loses more energy; hence, to make health possible, the 
physical development must be so much above the average 
as the height is above it. 
The lack of proportion between height and weight, chest- 
girth, &c., should be the cause of anxious inquiry. A tall 
child may have energy sufficient for the ordinary demands 
of a well-regulated life, while it may break down under the 
strain of unusual tasks.
