FETHERSTON (1897) was probably the first student who pointed out that human growth varied significantly from year to year. Since then this matter have been studied by DASTORE('05), NEWCOMER('21), HRDLICKA('22), GRAY('27), PALMAR('29, '33,'34), HERRIOTT('30), SHUTTLEWoRTH('40), MEREDITH('41,'44), HOYKINS('47), MORANT('50), CLEMENTS('53), ABRAMSON('54), etc. MEREDITH('41) postulated four hypotheses with regard to this subject. That is the human physique-e,g. stature may (1) progressively increase, or (2) decrease, or (3) remain constant from decade to decade, and in the other case, (4) there are appreciable cyclic rather than cumulative changes in the physique during certain decades. KIMURA('58), one of the authors, has already mentioned briefly on this subject and in this paper a detailed account on this matter is presented."The Statistical Report on the School Health of the Ministry of Education"('57) has been used as the materials for our consideration. We selected the data of stature, weight and chest girth of the children born 1894, 1904, 1914 and 1924 from all over the country (table 1). The table is read diagonally since a child e. g, who was 6 years old in 1900 would be 7 in the data given for 1901. These data provide a basis for, as it were, a longitudinal study of the factors under consideration for children born in the years 1894, 1904, 1914 and 1924. To supply for data missing from 1940 because of the war, the cross-sectional data in 1939 have been used. In the figures of this paper, the heavy solid line, the dotted line, the dot-dash line and the fine line show respectively the data of the children born 1894, 1904, 1914, and 1924.
