We have examined the report of Miss Brownell, the agent of the County for Dependent
Children and find many matters therein which should interest this board and the tax-payers.
We believe it was no mistake on the part of the County of Herkimer when it secured the services of
Miss Brownell, and we cheerfully endorse her work of the past year, and believe that the County is not
yet in condition to dispense with her valuable services.
Respectfully submitted,
F.W. Sauer,
John McCauley,
Charles L. Fellows.

of Herkimer County was instituted Feb. 1, 1909. Prior to the time her work as county field agent began, children were
sent to institutions by Police Courts and Boards of Education without any case work being done.
