These reports were submitted to the Board of Social Welfare by officials from the Syracuse State Institution for Feeble-Minded Children, the Rome State Custodial Asylum, the New York State Custodial Asylum for Feeble-Minded Women at Newark, and the Brunswick Home at Amityville. These reports were compiled the year before the opening of the state-operated Craig Colony for Epileptics.
A standard form for each person suffering from epilepsy contains the following information: gender; age; color; birthplace; if teachable; how long epileptic; frequency of attacks; physical condition; mental condition; and general remarks on behavior, condition, and ability to work.
