content: This is a blank record sheet for a psychological examination given at Letchworth Village, an institution for the “feeble minded and epileptic” established in 1911 in Rockland County, New York. According to the 1922<I>Annual Report</I>, systematic mental testing began there after psychologist Grace A. Taylor, a student at Columbia University, was hired in 1920. This particular form dates from somewhat later, as it was issued by the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene, an agency established in 1926. The form not gives space for recording information about the child examined in addition to test scores on both the Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon Scale and the Goodenough Drawing Scale.
