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 15 and 16 the rural boy is shorter than thecity boy, but here again the result is somewhat interfered with on accountof the small number dealt with. 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-
