Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Growth of St. Louis Children The expense of the investigation was for apparatus, printing and the hire of clerks, and was borne by gentlemen of public spirit in St. Louis. Some of the apparatus was given or loaned free of charge. The Simmons Hardware Company gave callipers and measuring tapes; the Fairbanks Scale Com pany loaned scales; Mr. F. W. Humphrey loaned a dozen watches; Dr. John Green and Dr. A. E. Ewing gave cards for testing the acuteness of vision, and the nixon-jones Printing Company made special rates for printing. The cordial support of Chancellor Chaplin, Professors H. S. Pritchett, G. Hambach and E. A. Engler of Washington University, the valuable advice of Dr. John B. Shapleigh, and the interest of the Academy of Science of St. Louis are gratefully acknowledged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
