Excerpt from The Pedagogical Seminary, Vol. 26: A Quarterly International Record of Educational Literature Institutions and Progress
Sam stepped on the scales and registered a weight of 62 pounds. He was 53 inches tall. According to norms established by the investigations of Burk, Boas, etc., he should have weighed approximately 69 pounds. He was seven pounds underweight; that is, he was over 10% lighter than he should have been when compared with the average boy of his height. Another Sam, stepping on the scales, registered 118 pounds. He was 58 inches tall and, according to the normal standards, should have weighed not more than 85 pounds. He was 33 pounds, that is, more than 38% overweight.
In this way 894 children had their percentage of overweight or underweight established. The distribution of 800 children is shown in Table I.
