Excerpt from The Effect of Humidity on Nervousness and on General Efficiency The following study is part of an extensive investigation of the subject of ventilation in its various biological and mechanical aspects, carried on during the years 1913 - 1916 by the New York State Commission on Ventilation.1 This Commission, appointed by the Governor of the State of New York at the request of the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, was enabled to carry on its work by the aid of the Elizabeth Milbank Anderson Fund. The other psychological experiments of the Commission, which were, like this one, planned by Professor Edward L. Thorndike and carried out under his direction, are described in full in a recent number of the Teachers College Con tributions to Education, and briefly reviewed in the historical section of this monograph. From the foregoing statement of the place of this study in the series of psychological investigations already made by the Com mission, it will be evident how deeply the writer is indebted to Professor Thorndike for guidance and advice. She has great pleasure, moreover, in acknowledging her obligation to Professors J. Mckeen Cattell, Robert S. Woodworth and Harry L. Holling worth. Her thanks are also due Mr. George T. Palmer, Chief of the Investigating Staff, and Mr. Joseph Herzstein, Secretary of the Commission. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
