Summary:The blood pressure of school children was measured during four consecutive years using the rejection ellipse method for analysis of blood pressure. the results obtaind were as follows: 1. The mean, upper limit, and lower limit of rejection ellipses for systolic and diastolicblood pressures of subjects did not increase as grade in school increased. 2. The authors propose that the normal range of the blood pressure for school children is 95 - 135 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and 35 - 85 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure. 3. For rejection ellipses ten per cent is a more useful level of significance than is fiveper cent.
