 Clyde E. Keeler, all of Denison University, assisted in the work of 

 filing clippings of biographies, genealogies, and special traits. 



TRAINING COURSE. 



The 1920 training course for field-workers in eugenics was in ses- 

 sion from June 30 to August 10. There were 13 students in the course. 

 This brings the total number who have been trained by this Office for 

 field-workers up to 205. Clinical instruction was received at the 

 State hospitals for the insane at King's Park, Central Islip, and Ward's 

 Island; also at Letchworth Village, Randall's Island, and at Brunswick 

 Home (for feeble-minded) at Amityville. A clinic was also held by 

 Dr. W. B. Weidler at the Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital, 

 and another at the Hospital of the New York Society for the Relief of 

 the Ruptured and Crippled. Opportunity was also offered for ob- 

 serving the physical examination of immigrants at Ellis Island. 



JOINT-BASIS FIELD WORKERS. 



During the year the Office has continued its practice of supplying cus- 

 todial institutions with eugenical field-workers, training the worker 

 and paying her salary, while the collaborating institution provides 

 maintenance and expenses of travel. During the year Miss Virginia 

 Rohde continued at the State Hospital at Bangor, Maine. Miss Cor- 

 nelia Augenstein resigned from her appointment at the Girl's Training 

 School at Gainesville, Texas, and Miss Mae C. Graham was appointed 

 to succeed her. Our contract with the State hospital at Central Islip 

 was completed by Miss Dorothy Aldridge. In view of limitations of 

 income, it seems probable that we shall have to restrict for the present 

 the number of joint-basis field-workers. 



VOLUNTEER COLLABORATORS. 



The archives of the Eugenics Record Office are being increasingly 

 utilized by other institutions, as well as individual eugenicists, as a 

 depository of records having eugenical significance. Many are insti- 

 tutions which became acquainted with the work of the office through 

 the employment of trained field-workers, and have for some years con- 

 tributed largely to the records of this office. Among these may be 

 especially mentioned the State Village for Epileptics at Skillman, 

 New Jersey (Dr. David F. Weeks, superintendent); Whittier State 

 School, WTiittier, California (Dr. Fred C. Nelles, superintendent); 

 Minnesota School for Feeble-minded at Faribault, Minnesota (through 

 Dr. F. Kuhlman, Director of Research) ; State Hospital at Middle- 

 town, Connecticut (Dr. Floyd C. Haviland, superintendent); Letch- 

 worth Village for Epileptics at Thiells, New York (Dr. Charles S. 

 Little, superintendent).
