SURVEY OF FEET
STANDARDS INSTITUTE CONDUCTS EXPERIMENT SUITING SHOES TO FEET Good progress has been made with the measuring of the feet of five thousand children representing a cross-section of the community states the Standards Council in its annual report for 1947-48. Notwithstanding interruptions due to the poliomyelitis epidemic, measurements of the feet of two thousand eight hundred children had been taken at the close of the year under review, Also, during the year, a preliminary analysis was made of some of the measurements then available in order to check the accuracy of the work and to arrive at some tentative conclusions before undertaking the main analysis of the measurements when these are complete. Experimental lasts in three widths for one length of foot were made, and shoes, manufactured on these lasts will be fitted to the corresponding feet in order to establish a reliable relationship between actual foot measurements and the last measurements. This will facilitate the main examination of the measurements when the survey is completed and the interpretation of this data on a practical basis. i
