To the girls of Alpha Omicron Pi I would say that i f you feel
an interest in social work and can afford to give some time to it,
you should then study your community to find out where you can
obtain real training and supervision so as to make your time count
in the direction of greater skill. I f volunteer work is not f o r you
because of the demands of another profession, you can, neverthe-
less, help in another way.
The social workers in most communities are a misunderstood
and misrepresented group. Y o u can get acquainted with them,
discuss their work with them, find out what they are actually doing
and be in a position to speak for them in the community. What
social workers say in their own defense is always subject to the
interpretation that they are trying to protect their jobs. What
other informed people say about them carries more weight.
The time is over when social work can be conceived of as
purely a volunteer or purely a professional job. It cannot stand
on one leg any longer, but needs the firm support of both i f it is
to go forward in the community.
