population and many of them were undertaken to ascertain whether or 

 not a condition of undernutrition obtained. For this reason, it is probable 

 that the values reported are minimal rather than optimal. In order to 

 facilitate comparison, the results have been grouped by countries and with-

1 There is much valuable material for the student of nutrition in the series of 

 family monographs published by Le Play under the title "Les ouvriers europeens" 

 and continued by the Societe Internationale des etudes pratiques d'economie sociale as 

 "Ouvriers des deux mondes." These are a series of complete studies of families in many 

 parts of the world and include the amount paid for food, in money, kind or labor, 

 and the amount and nature of the food secured. Unfortunately, the character of the 

 food is not always sufficiently well-defined to permit of accurate calculation. A similar 

 criticism applies to the reports of the Board of Trade of Great Britain on working- 

 class conditions in Great Britain, Belgium, France, Germany and the United States.
