One other feature added to the chartin this last year was the red crayon dot by whichthe child himself recorded the result of the weighttaking under the nutrition workers placed the dot in the proper square and theweight line was fiUed in by the nutrition workerafterwards. In the light of subsequent experience, some fur-ther modification of the weight chart, or at least ofthe line of expected gain to reflect seasonal varia-tion suggests itself. It will be evident that theselines as computed on all charts, whether for 274 HEALTH EDUCATION •...QcMil/S I 474645 4443424140393837363534 M •or.

APPENDIX D Relative efficiency of differing provisions afford-ing advantageous factors in the school environment. Before our provisions for health education can beplaced on the most efficient basis, a considerableprogram of experiment remains to be relative value of various provisions for supply-ing advantageous factors in the school environmenthas yet to^be determined, and experiment is espe-cially needed in respect to provisions for school feed-ing and ventilation. This can only be accomplished byconsistently following such a program as was at-tempted in the first year of
