The Eugenics Board of North Carolina 9 University of North Carolina, and former Orange County Superintendent of Public Welfare, was employed to make the study. It was completed during this biennium. The published report, “A Study Relating to Mental Illness, Mental Deficiency, and Epilepsy in a Selected Rural County”, will have educational value to persons responsible for the administration of the eugenics program. The members of the Eugenics Board have attended the monthly meetings regularly in person or through duly authorized representatives as provided by law. Recognizing that action on some petitions could not wait until the regular meeting, on the fourth Wednesday of each month, the Executive Secretary has been authorized to call special meetings of the Board to consider emergency cases. Three special meetings have been held. It is recognized that children born to persons who are feebleminded may be in need of special services. The following quotation from Eugenics for March 1930, indicates some of the needs of such children: “We do not know precisely to what extent mental defects and psychopathic conditions are inherited. But we do know that on the whole, feebleminded and insane persons who are permitted to propagate their kind, raise families in a most unfavorable home environment.” With the cooperation of the State Board of Public Welfare and the county departments of public welfare, a study has been initiated to determine the needs of children born to feebleminded parents. The families selected for this study represent a sampling of parents sterilized during the past six years. The Institute for Research in Social Science, University of North Carolina, and the Eugenics Board have participated in a joint study relating to sterilization practice in North Carolina. This study, financed from private funds, is being made by Mrs. Moya Woodside, a graduate student at the University. STATISTICAL SUMMARY As indicated in Table 1 there were 291 operations performed during the biennial period; 123 during the first year and 168 during the second year. The 168 include a number of operations authorized during previous years. Of the 196 operations authorized during the second year (Table 2A) 50, (20 State institutional and 30 non-institutional cases) had not been performed prior
