PENSIONS FOR SOCIAL
WORKERS.

The Jewish Daily News in
forms us that Mr.. Felix M. War
burg, Chairman of the Joint Dis
tribution Committee, has sent a
check for 100000 to the Pension
Fund of the Federation of the
Support of Jewish Philanthropic
Societies, of which Mr.. War
burg is president. Mr.. Warburg
wants to have a Pension Fund
for Social Workers, because he
feels that unless a social worker
has some guarantee that in old
age, he will be taken care of, he
cannot be expected to remain in
service.
The idea, of course, is emin-
emily correct. Many of the sue.
cessful workers have left the
field, because of the fact that
they are too poorly paid to be
able to save anything, and an in
digent old age is anything but q
happy inducement for them. So
they work until something more
certain and more lucrative turns
up, and they leave.
One wonders whether in the
last analysis it would not be bet
ter to raise the wages of the
worker, rather than to create
pensions for them. If these men
and women are not paid what
they deserve, pension will at
tract few, though it of course
will be a boon to those already
in the work. The case is parallel
with that of the ministry. The
cry has gone up that there is
a dearth of men for that pro.
fession; there will be and there
ought to be-until the profess
sion pays what its men are
worth.
Pension Funds will not cure
the i'll; it might relieve it tenn
porarily. When an illterate
clerk can make five thousand
dollars a year and a social work.
