» THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. JANUARY 19, 1930—PAR A-3 CHEST GIFTS DRIVE HAS STRONG START One Agency Taken Care of by $7,500, and Increased Liberality Is Seen. __(Continued From First Page) At $1,000,000 before the city-wide cam- palgn opens January 28, the committee must raise at least $125,000 daily to realize its minimum quota of $893,368. Two $10,000 Gifts. ‘Two workers yesterday reported gifts of $10,000 from contributors who gave $7.500 last year. Another reported a £25,000 pledge from a contributor of £20,008 1929. In like proportions the' increased giving is being reflected in smaller contributions. Several of the campaigners reported contributions ranging from $1,000 to $1,200 from peo- ple who had given $500, $600 or $750 pregiously. + Flcouragement came in another form #lso when it was learned that Most Rev. Michael M. Curley, Archbishop of Baltimore, has addressed an appeal in behalf of the Community Chest to be read at all masses in Catholic Churches before the beginning of the Chest campaign The word came in a letter to the Chest officials from Allen Pope. Speak- ing for the Catholic charities, he said he jhad just been informed Arch- bis@op Curley of his delight over the attitude of the Community Chest of Washington toward the Catholic chari- ties, and that he is most anxious that the clergy and laity of the Dis- triet should help in every possible way the work of the campaign. Campaign Assured Success. Mr. Poole declared yesterday that the success of the 1930 campaign is assured. “We are highly gratified at preliminary reports reaching the Chest,” the gen- eral chairman said. “The increased gifts by some of our larger contributors show that the people of Washington awake to the fact that our increased \umber of organizations, together with | the need for greater aid, calls for in creased gifts this year. “The splendid spirit of co-operation degonstrated by the workers of all the valjous units gives me confidence that the goal of the Chest will be reached this year. I have known Washington & Jong time, and Washington has never denied a worthy cause. The people of Washington will not fail us in this campaign.” * While the special gifts committee will gedouble its efforts today and through- out the week, when report meetings are scheduled daily at the Willard, except Saturday, the metropolitan unit, which is to do the general soliciting of the campaign, 1s girding itself for the bat- tle. Instruction meetings will be held practically every night this week at the various division headquarters in prepa- ration for the opening of their cam- pai): which takes place the evening of Janlary 28 at the Mayflower Hotel. Impertance of Task. The success of the special gifts com- mittee means much to the members of the metropolitan unit for the former has been allotted half the entire budget to Yaise before Tuesday of next week. Another flying squadrom, the group solicitation unit has completed its personnel and “key” men have been named in a large percentage of the 500 business and commercial organiza- tions which this group will solicit. Plans for the propagation of Com- munity Chest publicity during the drive for $1,786,737.07 by organizations now in the Chest, were made at a meeting vesterday of the publicity council at the City Club.

NOTE.—"Social Case Work,” which s the basic foundation of all Teliel work dome by the various organizations afil- fated with the Community Chest, is so little known to the average lav oiver that The Star takes this opportunity of using this article on the subject by Maj. Arthur J.Fynn, oulf divisional com- ‘mander. ‘the Salvation Army, and a na- | tional authority on this subject. It should | be of interest in view of the coming cam- paign of the Community Chest, which takes place January 28-February 6. BY MAJ. ARTHUR J. FYNN, Gulf Divisional Commander, the Salvation Army. Social case work is working with or directing individual families in their human relationships, guiding them into a normal way of living—cultivating personalities or traits of character that will enable the individual to become self-supporting and assisting them to solve their own problems of earning a livelihood and making life a success. In the very nature of things good case work must be a constructive long-time job—having a definite plan, each in- dividual case varying in character, ac- cording to the particular circumstances, Method Used by ‘Christ. Case work is not a new theory. It was by this method—of personal dealing with_individuals—that our Master did His_best work. Christ’s dealings with individuals, families and small groups are among the outstanding events of His earthly life and ministration—carefully recorded and preserved for our guidance in the records of the New Testament. These are familiar to all of us. Study them and see how He approached the problems of the poor and unfortunate ones in the communities where He worked. His “case work” illustrated how im- portant it is to treat each individual separately—on their own merits, and carry the job through to a successful | conclusion. Stradivarius Worked Patiently. Stradivarius worked patiently and skillfully to perfect his famous violins, Often discouraged, yet with an ideal before him, his trained mind and hands overcame the difficulty of creating one by one of his world-famous violins from raw materials which required delicate, intelligent workmanship to make and mold them into useful musical instru- ments. The work of this great master has stood the test of time, for he put his whole soul into the menial daily tasks—following them up day by day. Case work has for its immediate aim the betterment of individuals or fam- ilies, one by one, as distinguished from their betterment in the mass. Mass bet- terment and individual betterment are dependent upon one another. Soclety is made up of individuals— just as large nite blocks are made of infinitely small particles invisible to the naked eye. Not Learned in Books. Case work cannot be mastered from books or from class-room instruction alone, though both have their place in its mastery. Actual contact with the work in the field gives the experience necessary to a full understanding of this interesting subject—interesting to all Salvationists because it deals with human lives and their misfortunes, many alas, the direct or indirect result of sin. Often circumstances over which they have no control, such as sickness, un- employment due to accident, disaster, strikes, a lack of trade or vocational training, crop failures and sundry other external causes, place familles and in- dividuals in need of temporary assist- ance until these conditions become ad- isted. Here the guiding hand of a Salvation SOCIAL CASE WORK PURPOSE IS EXPLAINED BY AUTHORITY | Salvation Army Divisional Commander| Tells of Aims and Thoroughness of Method. Army case worker is invaluable. Sound common sense and good advice often is the greatest need. Material relief in the shape of old clothes, of some groceries or a check for rent often plays but a small part toward gutlung a family on a self-supporting asis. ‘These are temporary things, and should never be an end in themselves. They are only means, and very inef- fectual means at that, toward rehabil- tation. The underlying causes of the difficulty must be removed if at all possible. To get down to bedrock requires time, patience, skill and careful analyzing. 1t is obvious that before a doctor can treat a patient, especially an unusual case, he must know the trouble, learn the symptoms, diagnose the case, ask very frank questions, inquire into the patient's history, family connections, 11 frequently, consult with others— all this before he can la: course of successful treatment that will bring about a cure. Untrained Workers Inefficient. True, some doctors carry one bottle of medicine supposedly good for all ail- ments—just as some untrained social workers_ treat all family cases alike— giving all a basket of beans, rice and salt pork, regardless of conditions and without any idea as to the variation of circumstances or an effective plan of social treatment. ‘The old-fashioned method also classi- fled cases either as “worthy” or “un- worthy,” leaving snap judgment, preju- dice and rush and hurry or disinterest to decide which they were, “worthy” or “unworthy.” ‘When a human being, whatever his economic status, devolops some marked form of social difficulty and need, what do we have to know about-him and about his difficulty, or more often, diffi- culties, before we can arrive at a way of meeting his needs? The effort to get essential facts and make records of same has commonly been called “an investigation”—this is an ugly term. Mind Is Fixed on Objective. The term now largely being adopted as a substitute for the word “investi- gation” 1s social diagnosis. This has the advantage that from the first step it fixes the mind of the officer doing the case work on the objective in view. The processes or steps which lead up to social diagnesis and thence to shap- ing the plan of social treatment may be divided into two states. (a) Collection of evidence. (b) Drawing of inferences therefrom. ‘The collection of evidence comes through the officer's first relations, (1) with the individual or client, (2) with the client's family, (3) with sources of inquiry and information outside the family group, (4) of comparing the evidence gathered from the various sources (otherwise known as drawing inferences) and finally interpreting its means or diagnosing the case. Names of Those Needing Help. ‘Those whom officers and soclal workers are dealing with are called by many names such as applicants, in- mates, cases, children, families, proba- tioners, patients, etc. One word—client—seems to cover the situation better and is here used. It means a suitor or dependent, one who listens to advice—one in need of serv- ice. ‘The first interview with one needing treatment, the early contacts with the immediate family—the consultations with those outside his family who may give information, insight or co-oper- ation, the examination of any letters or documents bearing upon this prob- lem—all these stages, steps or processes lead an officer to what he hopes will be & helpful course of action. clety for the Prevention of Tuberculosis at yesterday's meeting. Ernest S. Johnson, president of the Washington Advertising Club, announced the award on the part of the directors of the ad club, which acts as judges. C.
