Biennial Report of The Eugenics Board of North Carolina 9 non-institutional persons shows a slight decrease over the preceding period. While Table 8 shows that only eight institutions utilized the program, the other institutions, such as state training schools, have cooperated with the county superintendents of public welfare in bringing about the operations for certain individuals who are under the care of the institutions and in need of this type of operation. Some of the state institutions do not have facilities for performing these operations and their budgets do not provide for meeting the costs in local hospitals. The number of individuals sterilized while they are in a county institution will necessarily continue to be small. These institutions are not equipped to care for people who come under the provisions of the Eugenics Law. Seven operations were performed for patients in county institutions (Table 1). The racial classification of the 704 individuals sterilized during the biennium is as follows: white, 531, Negro, 171, and Indian 2 (Table 9A). It is noted that 45 operations were performed upon patients at the State Hospital for Negroes in Goldsboro during this biennium, while there were none during the preceding biennium (Table 8A). Five hundred twenty-one or 74 per cent of the persons sterilized were women (Table 7A). This is a decrease from 85 per cent during the preceding biennium and 78.7 per cent since the beginning of the program (Table 7). It is understood that more women than men seek this operation because of the protection it gives, but with continued emphasis upon the proper interpretation of the effects of the operation, the number of men sterilized will no doubt continue to increase. There has been a slight increase in the number of operations performed upon the age group 20-29 years (Table 7 and 7A). It is the policy of the Eugenics Board not to approve sterilization under the adolescent age. To be more effective, however, it should take place in the late teens if the need is indicated. The following data give the percentages falling within the various age groups during this biennium, the two preceding bienniums, and since July 1929 when the program was started.
