People often inquire as to the ma
ture Of an investigation and the meth
cd Of making it as applied in Asso'
cIated Charities. These questions as
well as what follows are answered be.
low: :.
What Is An Investigation?
1t is not an attempt simply to sep
arate people into worthy and unwor-
lthy. 1t finds out the causes behind
the immediate situation and SO fur
nlshes the basis upon which to work
systematically and persistently for the
Improvement OF the condition OF the
family. Investigation means not only
visits at the home, but visits to rela.
tives, employers, school teachers, min
listers, friends and others who have
viewed the family from different van
tage grounds. The visits are made
not only to gather information, but to
get suggestions for and help in carry
ing out, a plan for betterment.
Thus, a man who got on pretty bad
" with his last employer may prove
to have good industrial record with
another and older employer. The old
err employer may be persuaded to give
another trial perhaps, and, back at
the work in which he was first sue
cessful, the man may do we'll again.
Or TO take another instance, the
school teacher may testify that the
children always come to school well
cared for and in good condition, and
this may have a distinct bearing upon
the care of the family because. Of the
pride taken in the children by their
father and mother. AT least there is
| more to build on where such pride ex.

Or. in still another case, the mans
relatives and those of his wife may re-
call happenings in the past which
throw a flood of light on his recent
desertion.and suggest, moreover
which means will succeed and which
fail in bringing the couple together
once more. n .1
,pOr, from the old neighborsIot Fam
ily which has since. moved. may be
gained corroboratlve EVIDENCE to the
fact that the parents, now seemingly
respectable, are. really placing their
older children in moral danger, BY
reason of their frequent carousings.
In other words, it is necessary to OBJ
tain information regarding family
from number of different people, II
the real truth is to be revealed and
the real way out to be indicated.
What Follows investigation?
Treatment follows investigation
lust as treatment follows diagnosis in
the case of the physician. AS, every
one knows, large part of treatment
must be worked out by the patient
himself; the physician can only heir
and suggest. So 1t Is here; We mus
work with, not merely for, the family
A plan for the rehabilitation Of fam
ily must be carefully considered from
all points, and, to be successful, must
include ways of winning the coopera
ton Of the family itself and OF private
agencies, city departments or individ-
uals, perhaps, all working towards the
same ends. %
i We say ends, because usually there
Is more than one problem involved. II
