| AdminHistory | The schedules of children from the Jews' Free School were taken as data forming a study later published in the first volume of the Annals of Eugenics, titled 'The Problem of Alien Immigration into Great Britain, Illustrated by an Examination of Russian and Polish Jewish Children', by Karl Pearson and Margaret Moul, October 1925.
The study was carried out at the Jews' Free School with the assistance of school staff and was recorded on three separate schedules which were then stapled together. These were arranged as follows;
The first were the London County Council medical school inspection cards.
Schedule A was filled in at the school, mostly by the staff there, alongside medical examiners appointed by the Galton Laboratory.
Schedule B was filled in by field-workers.
Around 500 cases were recorded in total, as a result this file represents a small sample of all the data collected for the study. |
