Annual . 14 years of age theaverage height recorded for the three groups is :—Metropolitan girls, 59-73inches; large country towns girls, 59-81 inches; and rural district girls60-53 inches. At this age the advantage in favour of the rural girl is,therefore, slightly over f inch, while at 16 years of age practically thesame margin is shown. A comparison of the heights of large country town and metro-politan girls shows that at certain ages the large town girl is the taller, butnot to a very great extent. As a matter of fact there is such a fluctuationof heights between these two group

A comparison of the heights of large country town and metro-politan girls shows that at certain ages the large town girl is the taller, butnot to a very great extent. As a matter of fact there is such a fluctuationof heights between these two groups that it might easily be said that onehas little or no advantage over the other.
