Nutrition
Nutrition is assessed for each age group in four grades (A—excellent, B—good,
C—slightly subnormal, and D—bad) according to the recommendations of the
Board of Education. During the year under review there was incomplete uniformity
with regard to these assessments and therefore the information in the following
table although broadly applicable is not necessarily correct in detail.
