California children are larger than children of other states; their pro gress in school is faster.

Kleeberger, chair-: man of the department of physical education, who today supplied the foregoing figures, said a survey of. eastern colleges probably would show a much lower average of height and i weight. i He attributed the glowing healtb of the average California boy and girl in a large measure 10 the fact ; that they are able to remain out of doors to a much greater extent than is practicable in most states, thuc , exposing themselves to tne ultra- h violet rays for much longer periodr each day. Admitting that he was offering no more than a theory, Professor Klee berger pointed out that tests with rats proved conclusively that the animals exposed to the powerful rays of sun were able to withstand poisons of a far greater extent than those kept in dark places.
