RF Annual Report - 1935 - The Rockefeller Foundation

THE SOCIAL SCIENCES 253
The sum of $18,000 was appropriated to the
New Hampshire Foundation for support of its
program of research during a two-year period
beginning June 1, 1935. The New Hampshire
Foundation is concerned primarily with the
administration of state and local government in
New Hampshire and Northern New England. A
start has been made in enlisting the interest of
Northern New
England colleges in regional research,
but the most important contribution
made to public administration was a study of the
state's use of public relief funds. This study not
only influenced the program of the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration in New Hampshire,
but also led to recommendation by the Federal
authorities of new legislation for Vermont and
other states. The New Hampshire Foundation
has analyzed the state financess has studied the
state record of bank management, and has begun
to tabulate social and economic data. The
Rockefeller Foundation's current grant is final.
4. Schools of Social Work
During 1935, payments were made to four
schools of social work upon earlier Foundation
appropriations. In each case the grant was made
on a tapering basis to enable the schools to find
other sources of support as Foundation aid was
withdrawn.
