7. Calculations are published in two instances. 



Eighty-six schools responded in the affirmative to the eighth question, 

 and a few others provisionally upon the expense not being too heavy. 



In response to the requests made by the masters and mistresses of 

 these schools, and by others who did not express any intention of carrying 

 out the work, but were desirous of ascertaining what miglit be done in this 

 direction, a circular of suggestions for carrying out anthropometric obser- 

 vations was prepared, and has been sent to 162 schools (this circular forms 

 Appendix II.). In preparing this cii'cular the Committee had the valu- 

 able assistance of Mr. Priestley Smith in the portion relating to vision, 

 and Mr. Frank Marsh in that respecting hearing ; and they desire to record 

 their indebtedness to these gentlemen.
