Report of Committee on Methods of Investigation

Abstract

1. We recommend that next year's committea on experimental methods summarize and edit the former reports of this committee together with additions thought desirable, references to other publications on experimental technique, etc., and submit the revised report to this Society for its approval in 1932 and for printing in the proceedings of that meeting.
   
2. It is the opinion of this committee that individual feeding of experimental animals is a method full of possibilities and that more studies of these possibilities and of the technique most suitable for individual feeding should be made.
   
3. We call the attention of the members of the Society to what is known as Kelley's rule (Kelley, T. L. 1924. "How Many Figures are Significant?" Science LX: p. 524) for the number of figures publishing in averages and other numerically expressed results. The general observance of the spirit of this rule would make our reports much more easily read and would not at all diminish the genuine accuracy of our results.
