HEALTHY GROWTH. A Study of the 

 Relation Between the Mental and Physical 

 Development of Adolescent Boys in a Public 

 Day School. 

 By Alfred A. Mumford. 



Oxford University Press 

 $5.00 New York 



5§ x 8|; xxiii + 348 

 A well-written account of the growth 

 and physiology of English schoolboys. 

 Substantially all the thorough, careful 

 observations made point towards the 

 establishment of a positive relationship 

 between mental and physical growth. 

 Scholars, compared with non-scholars, 

 are superior in respect of the condition of 

 the mucous membrane of nose and throat; 

 they have better vision, and teeth with 

 less tendency to decay. The book is 

 packed with interesting observations and 

 is an important contribution to the 

 literature of child hygiene and public 

 health in general, as well as to physical 

 anthropology.

A welcome addition to the literature of 

 immigration. The author brings cogent, 

 penetrating, and well deserved criticism 

 of the existing immigration law of this 

 country. He pleads for a consideration 

 of the whole subject from an international 

 point of view,, and for a selection of 

 immigrants based upon sound tests of 

 individual worth, rather than the indis- 

 criminating and ruthless exclusion of good 

 and bad alike, if they happen not to be 

 Nordics.
