Dr. Forrest C. Allen
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

My dear Dr. Allen:

Mrs. Melba Schilling Kost has placed with us her application
for a case aide position in our department end has given
your name as a reference.

The American Red Cross has stated responsibilities for service
to families of men in the active military forces as well as

to certain of the ex-service men and their dependents. Because
of the responsibilities to the increasing number of families

of service men, we are now employing people as case aides to
assist our regular case workers who have had special training
for this work in graduate schools of social service.

Because the case aides will lack this professional training,
it is highly important to evaluate carefully the personal
assets and capacities of these applicants. Therefore, we ask
for your careful consideration in replying to the following
guestions:

(1)
(2)

In what capacity have you known the candidate?
Describe the candidate's personality and abilities
as indicated by:

sensitivity to other people's reactions

capacity for self-expression

capacity for assuming and discharging responsibility
intelligence and initiative

attitudes toward other people

maturity and personal organization

In the foregoing, I have endeavored to note factors that we
have found to be of special importance in our current situa-

tion.

In addition, we shall appreciate any other observations
