This article examines the politics of the measurement of children's bodies. We usually think a priori that a measurement of a body and its measuring scale are objectively transparent and colorless things; and moreover, the measuring tools are deduced from an anatomically physical structure. However, considering the birth of a measurement scheme for bodies, we can easily find an obvious politically intention within the criteria of the measurement. That is, the regard of the measurement leads to the invention of a mean value for the collective body and making up a regulable substance.
