Social Service
Work Debated
By Educators
See Great Welfare
Shift From Private
To Public Agencies

More than 300 educators from the
country's leading social service
schools were meeting in Washington
today to discuss the best means Of
training men and women to fit into
the complex and shifting pattern of
public and private welfare work.
Members of the American Associa-
ton of Schools OF Social Work are
seeking to keep the teaching pro-
fession in touch with latest develop
ments in the field of Federal, State,
county, municipal and private well
fare. They consider this particularly
important now in view of the great
shift Of the welfare burden from pri-
vate to public agencies.
The delegates, meeting at the
Mayflower Hotel, were discussing
such questions as Should social
service schools expand their Ca
pacity? What are the greatest gaps
in social service education at this
time?
I'm what way will extension of
Civil Service selection of personnel
for public social service affect poll
cies in the schools? Do available
findings indicate a tendency to en-
ploy a battery of specialists, or to
employ individuals with general
training?"
Two Leaders Heard.
Speakers at the three-day session.
which opened yesterday, will include
two outstanding leaders in the field
OF social service training-Virginia
P. Robinson of the Pennsylvania
School of Social Work, and Edith
Abbott, dean Of the University of
Chicago's Social Administration
School.
Miss Robinson was to address the
annual dinner at 7::30 o'clock to-
night, and Miss Abbott will partici-
pate in panel discussion tomorrow
following luncheon at / o'clock.
Leading the discussions today were
Florence Hutsinpillar of the Uniyer-
sity of Denver and Arlien johnson
OF the University of Southern Cali
fornia. Off1cers will be elected at
the closing session tomorrow.
The local committee in charge of
arrangements consists of the Rev.
Lucian l.. Lauerman, director of the
National Catholic School of Social
Service; the Rev. Thomas E. Mitch
ell, dean of the School of Social
Work, Catholic University; Agnes
Van Driel, director of in-service
training, Social Security Board !;
Dorothy Abts. instructor in case
work, National Catholic School of
Social Service, and Monica Lyman,
instructor of social work and direc-
tor Of social service, Child Center.
Little Election Fear Shown.
Much of the discussion centered
today on the question whether
schools should emphasize technical
or administrative phases of social
service work.
Some delegates felt that workers
should be trained technically to
understand the mental and emo
tlona] aspects of individual cases,
and others argued emphasis should
be placed on more general themes
political economy, labor move
ments. welfare legislation, etc.
At least one speaker at the in
formal group meeting asked how
the coming presidential election
might affect the whole field OF
public social service work.
The consensus it was said was
that however, the elections 20, the
need for trained social service
workers will continue, and the
standards of the service will be
raised instead Of lowered.
