Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Director of Physical Training, 1895 Thanks to the ready kindness of Dr. H. P. Vvalcott, chair man of the Massachusetts Board of Health, three sets of measuring appliances, including scales, were put at my dis posal. Two of these sets have been put to good use in the schools above named, and the third set has been assigned to Mr. Ripley, principal of the Bigelow School, to enable him to carry out his plan of periodically weighing and measuring the boys in the Bigelow School. If by repeated observations on the same individuals during a series of years Mr. Ripley shall be able to determine the annual growth-rates of so large a number of boys as are found in his school, his results will be of great practical value, and will constitute a genuine contribution to science as well. Anthropometrists are now in the possession of a large amount of data derived from measuring and weighing many school children and youth but data obtained by the individualizing method, t.e., by subject ing the same individuals to repeated observations during a series of years, are rare and greatly needed.
