WHAT THE STUDY SHOWS
1. That the size of children can be predicted best from a combination of two measurements.
• A VERTICAL LENGTH
• A GIRTH
2. That age alone is the poorest possible basis for sizing any kind of garments for children.
THE BUREAU OF HOME ECONOMICS therefore proposes ....
Twelve "REGULAR” classes of girls.
Thirteen "REGULAR" classes of boys.
All grouped according to hip measure and height instead of according to age.
