REPORT OF THE SECRETARY To The Eugenics Board Of North Carolina Although this is the first biennial report on the work of the Eugenics Board, the Board was organized in July, 1933 under Chapter 224, Public Laws of 1933. Much of the time during the first three months was spent in providing legal forms and in working out procedures and policies. The first petitions for sterilization operations were presented to the Board on October 21, 1933. Since that time there has been a gradual increase in the number of cases presented at the monthly meetings, as is indicated by Table I on page 12. During the biennial period ended June 30, 1936 a total of 309 petitions for sterilization were presented to the Board for consideration. The Board authorized operations in 301 of these cases. Opportunity was given for the parties concerned in each case to offer their objections or to give consent in writing for the operation. During this period persons appeared for hearings in only four cases. The Board declined to authorize the operation in one of the four cases. The following table shows the number and type of operations performed under orders of the Eugenics Board during the past two years: Total Number of Sterilization Operations—By Type of Operation and Origin of Petition—July 1, 1934 Through June 30, 1936.

The Superior Court sustained the action taken by the Board and since no appeal was made to the Supreme Court, the operation was performed. The Board was represented in court by Assistant Attorney General T. Wade Bruton. One other appeal was taken to the Superior Court in March, 1934, but the case was never brought to trial since the patient was an inmate of a
