Abstract

(From the Conclusions)

The administration of Public Assistance and child welfare services requires considerable skill, knowledge, and understanding. Public welfare agencies recognized from the beginning the need for trained personnel. Now and in the future it will be difficult to hire sufficient trained social workers without the stimulation of a program such as educational leave. Social work as a profession is young and the schools of social work are not producing enough trained persons to take care of replacements due to death, marriage, etc., and at the same time increase the number of trained persons available.
