Traveling clinic correspondence with towns, <1925-1947> (bulk<1925-1934>).

In 1920 the Dept. of Mental Diseases and the Dept. of Education planned for the organization of outpatient clinics in nine districts of Massachusetts to diagnose children in accordance with the provisions of St 1919, c 277, requiring school committees to provide special education to mentally retarded students within the public school system. Staff of the Massachusetts School for the Feeble-Minded (later the Walter E. Fernald School) supervised traveling clinics at public schools and administered psychometric tests of mental age and intelligence quotient (IQ) of students. This series was created to arrange for visits by the school's clinic to the various towns.
