District I: All State Chairmen are working actively on the State Reports of our Study. Already the value of this Study is beginning to show itself. Dr. Root reports that some facts obtained from the Study in Connecticut are being used in the preparation of remedial recommendations in child care to the state. In Massachusetts Dr. Baty reports a complete survey of all health and welfare agencies is being made with the idea of revamping Boston's social structure. The Academy's Study for Massachusetts is being used to assist in this constructive work. The fellows of Rhode Island have elected and recommended for appointment Dr. Robert M. Lord to be their next State Chairmen. The fellows of Connecticut and Massachusetts are meeting early in November to discuss Academy affairs.
