Length of clubs for junior golfers

[James Marshall (Hogan1953)]

I frequently see junior golfers with clubs which are too long and too heavy for them, causing them to stand too upright and a tendency to lift the club with the forearms. Has anyone got a chart of some sort which could guide me a little in advising junior golfers of different ages as to the length and weight of their clubs?

My 8-iron just about comes up to my belt buckle, I'm about 5' 9". Should my 8-year old students' 8 irons do the same with theirs?

Thanks in advance for any input.
