Abstract
 
 
The Thesis is an account of a Nutrition Survey carried out on all the children attending public element schools in a town in the North East of England: together with an analysis of special data collected from various groups of children, including 400 who were found to be suffering from malnutrition. The Survey was carried out during 1940 and 1941. All of the children were examined personally by the writer. The aim of the investigation - which was conducted in two parts, - was, in the first place, the assessing and recording of the nutrition grades of the children: and, secondly, enquiry into the causes of the defective nutritional state of each of the children who had been placed in the lower nutritional grades. In addition to the Nutrition Survey, various other matters connected with the nutrition of children were investigated. The particular interest of the work lies in the fact that she enquiry covered the whole of the school children in the district, the population of which is well over 30,000 and which, by reason of its geographical position and its industries has led an almost self-contained existence, with very little of that to and fro movement of the population which has been characteristic of many industrial areas since the onset of the depression. The scope of the work undertaken, with its numerous subdivisions, made it more satisfactory to deal with each subject separately, and to include at convenient points in the text, reference to the views and findings of other observers as well as a discussion of the implications of my own figures.
