It is at present an interesting and at the same time a difficult problem to establish normal standards of basal metabolism for children at puberty. Since the report made on the basal metabolism of preschool and elementary school children in previous papers,¹ I have attempted to make a general survey on the metabolism of children of high school grade—the most difficult problem of today in connection with basal metabolism. In this report I present an approximate value for the metabolism of these children. The next paper in the series² treats of the effect of puberty on the metabolism of children; in other words, it gives the results of individual observations on the metabolic change throughout pubescence. Thus comparison has been made with the results of other investigators.
