Abstract
This survey is the outgrowth of a common school problem of assisting the underweight child to meet the normal demands on his strength and to develop right attitudes and ideals for the health of the normal child. In one sense it is not a scientific experiment, in as much as the dietary control extended only to the manifest interest and voluntary cooperation of the individual child. But by including the word nutrition definite aims are assumed as goals. For "Nutrition involves, besides correct diet, the acquisition of knowledge necessary to health; the formation and practice of habits essential to health; and the development of right attitudes and ideals with regard to health, both physical and mental."
