Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Scientific Spirit and Social Work Three facts have conspired to overcome a natural hesitation to commit the enormity of another book in these disturbed times: First, the exigencies of social reconstruction demand that some threads of policy be offered to those who grope through the labyrinth. Second, the unparalleled official recognition of social work by the government - by President Wilson, Secretary Baker, Secretary Daniels, Secretary Lane, the governors of various States, and others - puts social workers, new and old, upon their mettle. The very proposals of statesmanlike social workers which were formerly stigmatized as visionary, revolutionary, or immoral are now embraced wholesale as the social creed which alone can save a country in its hour of crisis. Hence, social workers must practice the humility and modesty of science; they must also make good and justify by their works the new faith placed in them. This means a constant effort to refresh their own mental outfit and to improve their equipment by every possible means. Third, the enormous war-time extension of various forms of social-welfare activity has called into service hundreds and even thousands of men and women, some of them only partly trained, many of them utterly untrained. Whether they elect to seek professional training or whether they enlist only as volunteers and amateurs, if they are to become permanent assets instead of liabilities to scientific social work they must somehow or other get the scientific and professional attitude toward their work. Now a profession is distinguished from a trade by several marks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
