The Stalib Library at Carnegie-Mellon has a database of Data Sets. There is
a Gopher Server (lib.stat.cmu.edu) This Gopher server also includes data sets us
ed in the Journal of the American
Statistical Association (JASA) and the new (electronic) Journal for
Statistical Education (JSE)   JSE also has a section of interesting data
sets which includes notes on their use in an educational setting.

None of these contains a data set that I am looking for - longitudinal data
on the heights of children (boys at 24 months, girls at 18 months) and
their adult heights. If you know of such a data set, I would be glad to
hear.
