APPENDIX I 



While this study was in press the writers received, through 

 the courtesy of Dr. Leonard W. Hatch, Chief Statistician of 

 the New York State Department of Labor, figures for the 

 heights and weights of 4,449 children to whom employment 

 certificates were granted in 1909-1910. These children were 

 in the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Schenectady and 

 Yonkers. In these cities the height and the weight of each 

 child applying for an employment certificate are carefully 

 recorded by the health department. It is interesting to 

 compare the averages for the New York City children with 

 those of the up-state children. 



Table 18, on the following page, presents a comparison of 

 heights and weights for the two-year period from ages 14 to 

 16, for the individual years 14 to 15 and 15 to 16, and for 

 each of the eight quarter-year periods.
