8 Biennial Report of MAJOR ACTIVITIES DURING BIENNIUM Much of the time of the Executive Secretary has been spent in analyzing problems met by the Eugenics Board in the administration of the program and in promotional work. Visits have been made to many of the State institutions; a questionnaire was sent to county superintendents of public welfare to learn their problems; and numerous meetings have been attended in order to interpret the program. As part of their orientation to their new positions, individual conferences have been held with all county superintendents of public welfare and members of the staff of the State Board of Public Welfare appointed during the past year. Group discussions have also been held with all county superintendents of public welfare and with case workers to clarify questions relating to the operation of the program. To a limited extent opportunities have been provided for discussion of the program at meetings of civic and community organizations and with professional persons including some physicians, hospital administrators, and attorneys. Early in 1948 a comprehensive manual was issued interpreting legal provisions and clarifying the policies and procedures of the Eugenics Board. The cost of materials was paid from Federal funds allocated to the Hospitals Board of Control. The manual was sent to persons responsible for initiating petitions: the superintendents of State institutions and county superintendents of public welfare. Through the cooperation of the State Board of Health, manuals were made available to county and district health officers and public health nurses. These persons were requested to refer to county departments of public welfare individuals who could be benefited by the program and to assist in interpreting the nature and results of sterilization. The Executive Secretary was also given an opportunity of presenting the need for this service at the annual meeting of the North Carolina Public Health Association. Dr. Clarence J. Gamble of Milton, Massachusetts, felt that the manual had considerable value as a medium of interpretation. He financed the cost of publishing and distributing 2,000 copies to social and health agencies in other states. In 1945 Dr. Gamble contributed $6,000 to the Eugenics Board to be used in making a study in a selected North Carolina county. Mr. George H. Lawrence, Associate Professor of Social Work,
