rical adult the total height fa
eight times the length of the
head. *ud the midway point falls
upoh the front bohe of the pelvis.

born baba, whose, whole figure is

But Imagine an adult with a head

on more slowly, and at fourteen
the height-la qbont seven heads.
This is bnt one Instance among
hundreds of the constant changes
in the growing child. ’ ■
At hirth the heed Is larger
than the chest which contains the
lungs and heart and -part of the
greatest blood vessels, and' also
the thymus gland which later, In­
stead of growing, diminishes.
Pictnre an adult with 'he head
larger than the chest!
The muscles of the child aré
comparatively small, weak, and
soft. His bones contain only one
third part of the lime salts which
give fjrmness, and two thirds of
animal matter which is pliable. In
the adult the proportions are ex­
actly reversed. In the young, the
periosteum, that strong mem­
brane lying next to bone. Is thick­
er and Is richer in blood supply,
and peels'easily from the bone.
Can you not see that different ef­
fects will be produced by violent
injury under these different con­
ditions!
The child has all his, fat Just
