A child handicapped: by chronic preventable diseases or physical disabilities cannot make rapid progress at school, and should not ; be? expected to compete" with children who are physically fit. In greneraf weight for height and age is a fairly reliable index of a child's; nutrition (state of nourishment); though weight for age alone is not al ways a reliable index. Also, it should be noted, not every child who has a standard weight for his heighf is to be considered normal. Some children are stunted ; in growth from the same causes 'which haver made them to be below weight they may be equally below standard in both weight and height and the ratio of weight to height be normal. Age,, likewise, must always be considered in relation to normal weight; of two, children of the same height but Of different ages, the older one should weigh more than the younger one. t It is recommended that all school children should be, weighed every month. The height should be taken every six months.' The record of the child's weight and. height should be kept throughout .his school life. The following-from a table issued by the North- Carolina State Board of Health, gives the average height and weight of boys and girls from five to 16 years of age.
