Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old-Age Support of Women Teachers: Provisions for Old Age Made by Women Teachers in the Public Schools of Massachusetts, a Study by the Department of Research of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union Additional reports dealing with older women employed in Boston retail stores, with workers in Lynn boot and shoe factories, and with the records of insurance companies, are available for the guidance of co-operating investigators. The results of their studies may be pub lished in local papers and then forwarded to Boston for use in the summary of findings which may thus be made national in scope. This preliminary report is an exemplification of the policies which we wish to promote in the investigations of wider scope. Many persons contributed the facts presented in the tables and charts. We avail ourselves of this opportunity to extend hearty thanks to the school officials who assisted our field workers by supplying records or by arranging opportunities for interviews; to tired teachers who remained after school hours in order to an swer questions which seemed somewhat personal; to correspond ents from many parts of the state who wrote delightful letters giving us the benefit of their experiences; and to officials in charge of the records of the Boston and the Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement Funds. The four fellows of the Research Depart ment, working under my direction, visited the retired Boston teachers, copied records and prepared the tables and charts. We co-operated in the preparation of the outline of topics to be dis cussed in the final report, and then divided the labors of literary presentation in the manner suggested by the names attached to the different chapters of the book. In order to give greater unity to the final report and to bring the material within the limits of our resources for publication, some editing and revising of these chapters have been necessary. Miss Caroline E. Heermann, my research assistant, has verified our tables and copied our manu scripts. If groups of investigators in other parts of the country will combine varied talents in promoting Similar studies, the final outcome of our experiment in co-operative research will be a volume of great interest and of general significance.
