Comparatively few speciallised investigations of the physical development of school children seem to have been made in this country. The most comprehensive British investigation is that made by Arthur Greenwood. This enquiry, based on the published annual reports of the various Educational Authorities, as well as those that preceded it, did not touch the main problem of the present study; viz. the relation between physique and mentality. Miss E. M. Elderton, a year later, made a careful biometric study of the school populatin of Glasgow.
