Summary:
The series consists of registers that provide brief narrative evaluations of cognitive and skills development of pupils of
the New York State Asylum for Idiots, later the Syracuse State Institution for Feeble-Minded Children. The remarks shed light
on diagnostic techniques used to assess mental ability and learning progress (for example, sorting colored beads, walking
a ladder, using an iron) as well as early techniques used in educating the developmentally disabled.
