A study of the results of this inquiry presents a number of features 

 worthy of special notice. The real object of the study was to ascertain 

 whether the family income bore any relation to the amount of milk used 

 and to the milk consumed by children. As a first step toward determining 

 this, it is desirable to note the relation of the income to the number of 

 persons in the family especially to the number of children in the family. 

 The figures in the tabulation accordingly were sorted with this object in 

 view and the results are shown in Table No. 10.
