Bibliography, p. 101-102.

Model dietaries were prepared for children ranging in age from 5 to 16 years, and standards proposed for children of those ages. A study was made of 4 institutions caring for children between the ages of 5 and 16 years, in which weight and height records had been kept for at least 1 year. The dietary studies were made from the weight of food actually purchased. As a result of these studies, a method has been developed by which the quality of the dietary can be judged with considerable reliability. 3305. and others. Iron requirements in early childhood.

General educational methods that are used in teaching other subjects of the curriculum can well be used in teaching high-school biology.
