Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Social Case Workers and Better Industrial Conditions: Paper Read Before the Division on the Family of the National Conference of Social Work, May, 1918 What I have to say rests on the premise that the soundest kind of reform, whether industrial or any other, is that based upon informed public opinion; that in a democracy, at least, where the people determine public policy and action, if advances are to be at all permanent, they must be grounded in popular understanding of their value. In an earlier draft of this paper I included a few paragraphs in support of that premise, but, because of the shortness of the time, I omit them now, for I think we may safely assume agreement on this principle. If any need further argument, I invite you to read the papers of the Division on the Promotion of Social Programs presented at the last two sessions of the National Conference of Social Work, especially the convincing address by Mr. Allen T. Burns at the Indianapolis meeting. If, then, we can assume this premise, it follows that one, if not the chief or only, means to sound reform is through the education of the public; and it follows further that one, at least, of the best ways in which the case worker can make his knowledge contribute to industrial reform is through its educational use. In general, two broad avenues of opportunity for teaching are open to him. The first is teaching through the use of individual cases; and the second, teaching through the use of massed cases or massed facts. Both seem to me to have great value, and to give the case worker chances to make rare contributions to social reform.
