The object of the present investigation was to determine the relation between the variations in hair and eye colours and variations of weight and stature; so that one might know what allowances, if any, would be necessary to make for variations of the proportion of children in different classes of hair and eye colour in different age groups and in the two sexes in the different schools under investigation with respect to the factors influencing bodily growth and nutrition. Incidentally, the analysis might reveal racial differentiation if such were present in this population.
