Annual reports.. . e over the city boy by anaverage of about three-quarters of an inch at each half year of age.At 13 he is 1-10 inch taller than the city boy, and at 14 he increases thismargin to 1-29 inch.

At 14 the average heights of boys inthe three groups are given as:—Metropolitan, 59-01 inches; large countrytowns, 59-30 inches; and rural districts, 60-30 inches. With regard to the boys living in large country towns, althoughthey may be said to be taller than the city boys, their advantage is notso pronounced. For instance, from 5 to 7 years of age the margin ineach half year varies from -18 to -57 of an inch. From then on the marginfluctuates to such a degree that it might almost be said that from 7 to 14years the large town boy has little or no advantage over the city boy^ o o o U7 ?^ tpo 5= JS °-t- a _! cum si O &**> o-. «> 85 Vq *3t- i-- «0« Si! .w , o -c 4 , * $ ^> a =5= ?*, <c SB (sa oo o 0? .5= O o r- Ol. a O
