State Fails to Employ Its Trained
Social Workers
(Sunday Journal anl Star.)
"While the university has been
trainine social workers for the
past twenty-five years, the major
ity of these persons nave gu..
other states to assist in solving
social problems," declares Dr. Hat
tie Plum Williams, professor of
sociology at the University of Ne
braska. "Yet Nebraska now more
than ever before needs experts in
the field of charity."
The theory of Dr. Amos G. War
ner, , prominent Nebraska alumnus
and author of a classic on scien
tific charities has been used in the
training of Nebraska people. This
theory social science as well as
other sciences should be based on
a thoro knowledge of the under
lying principles.
Nebraska Trained Workers.
Oustanding among the Nebraska
trained workers is Gwendolyn
uo! Rerrv director of the bu
reau of registration and statistics
in the Association ior improves
the Conditions of the Poor in New
York City. Among other persons
tntnaA at TJehrnska who are en
Li. CLIAA-- .
era erofi in social work are:
Miirired McGraw. formerly of
cnvn Rnw is a worker in the
public welfare department of Cook
pnnntv. Chicago. Ruth Shallcross,
iota nf Rellevue. is factory inspec
tor for the New York state depart
ment of labor.
mvs .Tn.net. Schmidt Bergquist,
fnmriv et Hastincs. Is the family
visitor for the Chicago United
rrhnrities.
Medical social work is being
done by Merle Draper, who is the
director of the lJomona county
health unit at Pomona. Calif
uaIati Vastmnn directs the work
of associated charities in Cleve
land n . and Isabel Fletcher is the
director of the medical social work
at the Indiana medical college.
These are onlv a few of Nebras
ka graduates, trained in the field
of social service ana retuguiieu
for their capabilities by other
states. The deplorable fact Dr.
Williams contends is that Nebras
ka does not employ their service.
Course at University.
The TTniversitv of Nebraska is
one of the few state universities
which offers a basic course in so
cial work for undergraduate stu
dents. This course may be elected
in the freshman vear when an ef
fort is made to acquaint students
with the various iieias open anu
to give them an opportunity to
train for that work in which they
find themselves most ntteo.

served tea, sandwiches, cookies
and cake, thereby giving substance
to the party and spoiling appetites
for the evening meal.
As a fitting climax, four mem
bers of the department, by provid
ing impomptu entertainment, also
proved that their talent is not con
fined to only one field. Sally
Green, garbed as the little five
year old next door, sang a Christ
mas song with appropriate verses;
Harold Hart, president of the Art
club, rendered one of those loose
jointed tap dances he made famous
in the Kosmet Klub show; and Bob
Campbell and Marvin Bostrom
gave their separate versions of
terpischore on the piano.
"There will be more teas," Miss
Faulkner announced, "one every
month; but they will be minus the
presents and Santa, and will cost
you five cents."
Says Dr. Williams
The Nebraska department at
first worked under considerable
handicap for lack of adequate lab
oratory training. When Dr. George

in 1912 he called to his staff Dr.
Lucille Eaves, a former student
under him at Leland Stanford, to
give courses in training for social
work. That was the heo-innincr. nf
the work in Nebraska and also in
an state universities. Only two
professional schools in the, nation
then offered such training.

ment, is that it strengthens the
morale of the parents. Many of
them haven't seen cash for months
and have been "on relief," that is
have had the necessities of life
furnished them by welfare agen
cies. The fact that there will be a

i that they themselves may have a
nana in it, naturally gives tnem a
little more courage to face the fu
ture. "Shoppers" designated by their
respective groups to assist in the
appropriation of their constribu
tions have become very enthusias
tic about this plan of giving, and
bring back many interesting ac
counts of their experiences. It is
hoped by Miss Melanie Gaines of
the Social Welfare bureau that
this interest may extend into the
year, and that these and other
campus organizations may help
see their adopted "families" thru
the winter after the holiday season.
