NUTRITION.
In accordance with the regulations for routine medical inspections
made under the provisions of the Education Act, 1944, the
second and third code group inspections will be of children older
than children previously inspected in these groups. The future
records of heights and weights of children in these groups will,
therefore, not be comparable with the previous records of these
groups. Under the circumstances a comparison has been made of
the heights and weights of the routine groups for the last four years.
The following tables show in statistical form the average
heights and weights (in inches and lbs. respectively) of children of the
prescribed age groups during the past four years.
