in the fall of 1928 reveal excellent improvement in all
corrigible defects except those of the spine, which is
indicative of the need for apparatus of the type above
mentioned. The following tables have been compiled
from the information on the records of the three upper
academic classes. (Freshmen entering this fall are not
included because the tables are comparative in nature.)
Defects which have been corrected during the first
semester of this year since the examinations were
given have been considered in this table.
