such specialists for help and advice. On
the other hand, more and more of these pro.
fessional specialists are recognizing the serv-
ice which the social worker can render
in special cases and are turning to social
workers for help in meeting their own prob.
lens. There is field that is to say, where
skill, coupled with experience in dealing
with problems of personality and social
contracts, can render direct and independent
service. This is the field of social work.
Perhaps the most striking indication Of
the development of purpose and character
in social work is the growing appreciation
OF the social workers themselves of their
obligation to lift the standard of their
own workmanship and to protect their work
against the unethical and unconscientious
performer. just as the lawyer and the physi-
cian protect their professions.
Professional and Non Professional
They recognize, of course. that it is not
salary or full-time service which distin-
Euishes the professional worker from others.
Volunteers and others often have full pro-
fessional equipment. 1t is In the equip.
ment itself--the training and experience.
the attitude and purpose, the standard Of
performance and in the fact that it Is the
greatest interest in the workers life-that
professional character and status reside.
Ihc latest development in the situation
is the creation of the American Association
of Social Workers, national body with
membership OF 5000, whose specific prov.
ince is to stimulate improvement in the
spirit and methods of social work and to
define as rapidly as possible in accordance
with these rising standards the essential
quallhcations required for effective service

prises in the Past and Is Still
Engaged in the Same Kind
of Activity

THE significance Of the Sesqui Centennial
= mass. meeting in the Academy of Music
lay in the fact that things were said in the
open which long have been said in private
about the influences which are hostile to
the project.
Judge Bonn.well, in his opening address.
said that "a small group of financiers" has
been working from the beginning to block
the enterprise. and James NJ. Beck, who
made the principal address, said that Mr.
Hoover was disuosed at one time to accept
the offer Of the presidency of the fair cor
poration, but that he came to a luncheon
in Philadelphia, where he discovered that
although no one was saying anything openly
against the fair. there was an undercurrent
Of opposition. Thereupon he decided to re-
main in the Cabinet rather than make the
attempt to put over n great undertaking
which did not have the unanimous support
of all the powerful influences in the city.
Mr.. Beck said further that 1t was sig
nitcant that the chief open opposition to
the fair came from the head OF the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, (which IS no longer the
Philadelphia institution that 1t once was.
but is controlled in Wall Street"
He did not say, as he might have done,
that Samuel Nauclain. of Baldwin's, is the
chief spokesman for the little group of
fnanciers" to which Judge Bonn.well re-
ferred.
There Is hope for Philadelphia when men
Will say in public what every one is saying
In private. Then the obstructive forces can
be met In the open.

Mr.. Beck's invention Of the phrase Town
Pump Party TO describe the hold backs
was as happy as his other remarks were
significant. His resume of the history OF
the activities of this party ought to arouse
the prog essive citizens to an effort to make
It so in cent that it will never again have
any dc crrent influence upon the develop.
ment of the city.
1t has been forgotten that the hold backs
prevented Philadelphia from becoming the
permanent capital of the United States.
Mr.. Beck reminded us that If it had not
been for the opposition Of Philadelphia
delegates TO the plans to keep the capital
here it would never have gone to 1.-THE
swamp on the banks of the Potomac" where
II was ultimately built.
He reminded US also that when an at
tempt was made to meet the competition
Of the new Erie Canal by building a railroad
across the Allegheny Mountains there was
so little faith IN the possibilities of rail-
road that it was not built and the CONNER
c!al supremacy Of the Nation passed from
Philadelphia 10 New York. Indeed, so
short sighted were the citizens of this town
that they opposed the extension of a rail
road as far south as Baltimore for fear
that il would benefit the city on the Chesa-
peake Bay at the expense Of the city on the
Delaware River.

Many Sharp Gains Made,

- Service.) j.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.--The bulls
were in complete control Of the stock
market in the first period today and
prices in practically every depart.
ment displayed strength and buoy.
ancy. with occasional brilliant dashes
forward to new high prices for the
present bull market. The oils and
industrials were the chief partici.
pants in the bullish movement today,
though prominent representatives of
the rails and equipments distin-
guished themselves by rapid ad.
vances into new high territory. Nor.
folk and Western was the most
prominent of the former group and
Pullman of the latter. -
Bullish sentiment was encouraged
by a number of important construc.
tive factors in the early trading to-
day, among them being the rejection
Of the general strike" program by
the American Federation of Labor,
the excellent record Of car loadings
by the railroads and the steady de.
cline In commercial failures as re.
corded by the leading financial agen.
cies.
The market was buoyed up by the
apparent scarcity of speculative
stocks and the comparative ease
with which the bears are put to
rout on any concentrated effort by
the bulls. Despite the forward d
movement that has been recorded in
all grades and classes Of speculative
stocks since the upturn Of the year,
1t seems to be the majority opinion
Of the market experts that the bull
market is far from having run its
course and that still higher prices
will be seen before the end of the
current bull market. But traders
are now approaching the market
more cautiously and stocks are be.
ing selected because of their relation
to specific developments rather than
in the expectation Of a horizontal
rise In prices.
All Of the oil stocks. not except.
ing the Mexican and the Standard
Oils. were active and considera bly,

fornia gained ~ at 116k: New Jer.
sey was up 2h to 1864: Pacific Oil,

reports that the company was work.
ing out plan to extract gasoline
from natural gas.
Equipment companies continued in
strong position today, all three Of
the prominent leaders in this group
selling at new high prices, Pullman
at 1861 and Baldwin at 1891, and
American Locomotive at 124A
Rails, like Norfolk and Western.
Union Pacific, d. L. and W., and
Canadian Pacific were in special de-
mand. All the tobaccos were higa
but Sumatra made the biggest ad-
vance. selling up az points at 40.
Copper, Steel and shipping stocks
sold at better prices today! United
States Steel at 1854 was fractional
ly below its years high. Gulf States,
Republic and Bethlehem, for the
steels, and Utah. Smelters and Ana
conda for the coppers, made an ad-
vance Of about one point each.
