F.-om bk th to the age of five years the
rate of growth is the same in both sex
es, little girls beiug a little
shorter in" stature and lighter : ia
weight than boys. From five to ten
years boys grow a little more rapidly
than girls, the diffcrance being appa
rently due to a check in the growth of
girls at these ages. From ten to fifteen
years girls grow more rapidly than
boys, and at the ages of eleven ' aud a
half are actually taller, aud from twelve
and a half to fifteen and a half are actu
ally heavier than boys. From fifteen to
twenty years boys again take the lead;
and grow at first rapidly aud gradually
slpwer, and complete their growth at
about twenty-three years. After fifteen
girls grow very biow. and attain their
full stature about the twentieth year.
