CMITH College. at Northampton,
y Mass. will be open again this
summer Last year for the first
time in its history II had a sum-
mer session war emergency
course In psychiatric social work,
to train women to aid specialists In the
care OF soldiers suffering from she'll
shock. The success of that school, COM
bined with the sudden demand for social
workers trained in special fields to cope
with the problems OF reconstruction. has
now led to the founding OF the Smith
College Training School for Social Work
This school will open July Z, anu
offers to a limited number Of women
with college degrees or equivalent train
ing n choice of four courses: psychiatric
social work, medical social work, COM
munity service and child welfare. The
child welfare course will be completed
In the summer term OF two months. The
other courses demand nine months prac-
ucal work. under expert supervision. in
hospitals, clinics, settlements and social
agencies. Boston, New York. Philadel-
phia and Baltimore have been selected
as the best centres for this work. which
will he followed by a second summer
session In Northampton.
The new school will be under the di-
rectorship OF DR.. r. Stuart Chaplin OF the
Smith College department OF economics
and sociology. Courses in sociology and
psychology will be taught by members
OF the Smith College STAFF social psy-
chiatry, social medicine, community SER
vice, child welfare and social cast work
will be in charge Of specialists, and
leading experts In different branches Of
medical science and social work have
promised TO lecture at the school. It's
distinctive method, besides its concen-
trated periods OF academic work, lies In
its scientific and psychological approach
to social problems. as contrasted with
the philanthropic motive often stressed
in such study.
The growing appreciation of the close
connection between nervous disability
and unemployment, poverty and crime,
the growing desire TO give mental in
valds the same chance as those ply
sically disabled. have both been 'speeded
up" during the war. Every graduate OF
the Smith College course Immediately
found employment and from many quar-.
ters come demands for more workers
similarly trained.
DIR. Edith r. Spaulding and Miss Mary
c. Jarrett. formerly chief of social SER
vice at the Boston Psychopathic Hos
pital. will again direct this course, and
the same advisory committee will act
again: DR.. +. f. Southland OF Boston,
DR.. l.. Pierce Clark and William l..
Russell OF New York. DR.. Walter L.
Fernald OF Waverly. DR.. John A. Hous-
ton OF the Northampton State Hospital
and President Allen Nelson OF Smith
College.
The obvious supplement TO the PSYCHE
atrc course was one in medical social
work. a field in which, owing TO the re-
cent rapid extension Of the public health
movement. there is a great shortage OF
trained workers. DR.. Richard Cabot OF
Boston will act as advisory chairman
for this course, which will be supervised
by Miss NJ. Antoinette Cannon. chief OF
