Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from University of Iowa Studies, Vol. 11: Studies in Child Welfare
Everyone has always known that children grow, but the accur ate and quantitative study of this growth began at a singularly late period in the history of natural science. (21, p. 173) The early chapters of the history of science were written largely in terms of man's attempts to know and master the world of nature about him. Not until the last quarter of the nineteenth century did anthropologists and workers in allied fields begin in earnest upon the ontogenetic story of the physical growth of man. It is to this relatively recent study that the present investigation pur poses to contribute.
