In practically every case the native Jewish children show 

 improvement over the foreign-born Jewish children, both in 

 stature and in weight. This is seen more clearly from Graphs 

 J and K. 



The native Jewish boys, starting with an advantage in 

 their favor of only .05 inch in height in the first half-year, 

 are .48 inch taller in the second, .34 inch in the third, and .98 

 inch in the fourth, with an average of .23 inch for the two 

 years. 



The American-born Jewish girls show an even greater 

 superiority in stature over the foreign-born, the differences in 

 their favor amounting to .23, .38, .71 and 1.01 inches, respec- 

 tively, in the four half-years, with an average of .52 inch for 

 the two years.
