“…A study of the body size of groups of children may call attention to conditions that should be scrutinized. Thus in Iowa, it appears that the school children in 1948-51 tended to be on the average heavier, though not taller, than children of the same ages about 10 to 12 years previous (27) hours are of ten shortened, with the result that the physical activity involved in vigorous play is reduced; viewing television often replaces a portion of the active play; and the availability and temptations of high-calorie snacks may tip the energy balance on the positive side.…”

By the time these boys and girls had reached maturity, they had stopped growing at a weight-height level 2 years behind their growth possibilities.Spies also studied the reversal of growth failure by adding milk solids to the diet of the children. He paired off children similar in nutritive failure, and gave one member of each pair a supplement of varying amounts of milk solids over increasingly longer periods of time. The more milk the children used, within the limits of his study, the greater the increases in height, weight, physique, and speed of growth as shown on the Wetzel Grid ( 13), when compared with the records of the children not receiving the extra milk. Benefits of the added milk were also evident in the composition of the bones. Spies concluded that the retarding effect of prolonged nutritive failure is reversed promptly if the nutrients in the dietary supplement are supplied in sufficient amounts to overcome the accumulated deficiencies. 0 ,N•N~NG., Blair ( 14) studied the diets of 150 children ranging in
