THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SOCIAL W[]RKERS ASKCIVIL SERVI[}E | Association Discusses Va- rious Proposals to Elevate Standing of Profession. After spending nearly two days in eritical examination of administra- tion plans for a social security pro- gram, the American Association of Social Workers yesterday afternocn turned a searching glance upon their own profession. In several respects they found it wanting Concerning themselves first with the matter of qualified personnel. the convention delegates heard several leaders of the dis n suggest ap- plication of civil service principles to the selection of social workers, heard others insist that the profession itself must define its scope more specifically before it can aspire to ask the pect accorded a full-fledged profession. Inexperience Decried. Decrying the influx of countless in- | experienced persons in the field of so- | cial work during the unemployment | crisis, Dr. Ellen C. Potter of New Jer- sey declared “The profession of social work has | arrived at the period in its develop- | ment when it must clearly define a social work. Law and medicine have had to do these things and until so- | cial work lays its basic foundation we are not in a position to ask legislative bodies to set up the machinery where- by social workers may be atified | and licensed. A method by v h the | social worker may be identified and | certified, preferably on a national ba- | sis, should be brought about.” | Carrying the registration idea still further, Arthur Dunham, secretary of the Family and Child Welfare Divi- sion of the Public Charities of Phila- delphia, proposed that social workers on public relief administration be placed under a civil service system. “Now that relief has become a ma- jor function of government.” Mr Dunham said, “the appointment of | well qualified staff members for public welfare agencies is a_matter of con- cern’ not only to social workers but to legislators, public officials and taxpay- ers. The establishment of an effective civil service merit system is not an academic issue today, it is the key to! the future of a decent public welfare Job in America.” Circumstances Scored. Employment practices affecting so- cial workers next came under exam- ination, Miss Rachel Childrey, intendent of the Family Philadelphia, scoring the stances surrounding most ployment of the present d “Temporary and emergenc istration is unlikely to put stress on | circum- cial em- those organizational factors which are | necessary for permanence and devel- opment,” Miss Childrey reported “Long hours of work, arbitrary re- lease of social workers working conditions, inadequate pro- «A(l"nm Ga I signed to duty as finance omicer heie, admin- | inadequate | Medical Corps Reserve, promoted to captain, February 13.

Recognition that these programs. stretching out } after year, must be organized on the basis of long-time planning is over- due. Employment practice is one of the important aspects of orga tion in which a change from emer- gency to long-time planning is es- sential.” Previous to their analysis of their own profession, the delegates yester- day continued their inquisition into administration plans for social secur- ity legislation, finally voting to make three recommendations. There were: That a Federal Welfare Authority be established to administer all types of social security programs, possibly with | A representative in the cabinet: that increased family welfare relief be ex- tended by the Government and that appropriations be made to cover th feature, and that the transient re- lief program be expanded under pro- | visions of the pending social secur- | ity legislation. Administration Brings Controvers; Regarding the present adminis tion of relief. vigorous controversy raged over the system of allocating | funds from the F. E. R. A. to the in- | dividual States. Edith Abbott led | the criticism against the present cir- | cumstances whereby some States re- ceive 90 per cent of their relief funds from the Government, while others Teceive less than half. A business session of the convention was held last night and the affair will close with morning and afternoon sessions today. Housing, employment exchanges and health services will be discussed this morning while the con- ference report will be prepared this | afternoon.

Miss Rogers formerly was with the Washington Federation of Churches, but has been the “in-take” secretary at the Florence Crittenton Home for some time, it was announced yester- day. Many of the children ir. the Wash- ington Home for Foundlings have parents, in some instances separated. A few of these pay moderate amounts toward the care of their little ones and this made necessary an admis- sion secretary trained for such cases. Admission to the home formerly was obtained through application to the Juvenile Protective Association or child welfare organization. DRWerner's Powner FOR HOLDING TIG fass.
