Through the generosity of Mrs. Emily Proctor Eggleston of Berkeley, California, a survey of the State of Vermont is being conducted in the line of the surveys which other States have carried on and are at present carrying on. The inmates of the various State institutions are being given mental examinations and the more deficient and delinquent families scattered through the State are being studied with reference to environment and ancestry. The purpose of the Survey is to obtain information that may be useful to the State Legislature, Department of Public Welfare and the various social organizations.
An Advisory Committee acts with the Director in the planning and conducting of the work and consists of the following persons:
President Guy W. Bailey, University of Vermont; Miss Harriett S. Abbott, field worker; Dr. E. A. Stanley, Supt., State Hospital for Insane; R. H. Walker, Supt., State Prison and Reformatory for Men; Miss Lena C. Ross, State Prison and Reformatory for Women; Charles W. Wilson, Supt., Vermont Industrial School; Dr. T. J. Allen, Supt., State School of Feeble Minded; Prof. K. R. B. Flint, Norwich University; Dr. C. F. Dalton, Sec., State Board of Health; Prof. A. R. Gifford, Pres., Vt. Children's Aid Society; H. G.

The Eugenics Survey, begun in September, 1925, is carried on under the supervision of the Director with the advice of a committee consisting of twelve Vermont men and women whose connections with State departments and institutions or whose other interests qualify them especially for such connections, with a view to discovering as large and widely varied a body of facts relating to matters of human inheritance as may be secured, especially those which have a bearing upon the social and economic welfare of the State. The Survey has studied various types of families as thoroughly as possible. Pedigree records have been accumulated and all material classified, filed and fully indexed so as to be available for further analysis by the Survey and for the use of social agencies and others.
The investigations are at present so planned as to be of the utmost possible assistance in the work of the Comprehensive Survey of Rural Vermont now being conducted.

The Eugenics Survey, begun in September, 1925, an important adjunct to Zoology 10 and 12, is carried on by the Director and Assistant Director with the advice of a committee consisting of twelve Vermont people connected with institutions and State departments. The President of the University is ex-officio a member of this committee. It is conducted with a view to discovering as many different facts as possible relating to matters of human inheritance in Vermont, specially those which have a bearing upon the social and economic welfare of the State. The Survey has studied various types of families. Pedigree records have been made and all material classified, filed and fully indexed so as to be available for further analysis by the Survey and for the use of social agencies.
During three years a study was made of migrations in three rural Vermont towns, a year of adult education was conducted to inform Vermonters of the important facts relating to eugenics that were ascertained by the Eugenics Survey and by the Vermont Commission on Country Life, and at present a study of people of foreign origin in Burlington is in progress.
The Survey publishes an annual report available to those interested.
