Weighing children is a means of ascertaining their rate of growth. All children should make a regular annual gain. These tables should be used as a means of interesting parents in their children’s growth.
Lay infant on table on which has been placed an accurate measure. Stand child with heels and shoulders against a wall upon which has been marked or pasted an accurate measure.
Encourage the annual physical examination of every child by a physician.
