NO. I ETHNOGEOGRAPHIC BOARD — BENNETT 2,*J 



Some requests called for special efforts. In response to special 

 requests, the Board obtained a list of Scandinavians in this country 

 from the American Scandinavian Foundation; a list of citizens who 

 returned from the Orient on the Gripsholm from the War Depart- 

 ment and the Board of Economic Warfare ; and a list of Russian resi- 

 dents from the Russian Students Relief Fund, Inc. Finally, the 

 chain letter system was employed. Each questionnaire or circular 

 which the Board sent to an individual asked for the names of others 

 who might have useful knowledge or experience. 



The sources of names were not formally rated, although in terms 

 of a particular project some proved far more valuable than others. 

 In general, the number of sources or card entries was purely prag- 

 matic. If the information from one set proved inadequate, new 

 ones were sought.
