Learning Always Useful Prof. Twente Tells Students
Miss Esther Elizabeth Twente, professor of social work, has learned something which should encourage all students.
"I found in social work that there was positively nothing I had learned that I couldn't make use of later," she said.
In particular, she remembers one old man who refused to be friendly. Because she had taken geology, she could talk about rocks, one of his main interests, and as a result she was able to know him better and to help him more.
"In all my contacts with people, I've learned that no matter how much of a problem a person has—how uneducated or poor—there is always something in him that is positive and good," she said. "I've learned something from everyone with whom I've worked."
Prof. Twente, who has several titles, is chairman of the department of social work. She teaches classes,

helps plan the curriculum, and prepares budgets for the department. Since graduate students must have field experience, she must keep in close touch with social agencies to find jobs for the students.
For two years she has been president of the Kansas Council for Children and Youth, an organization resulting from President Roosevelt's 1940 White House conference on children and youth. She was a member of that conference. She also was a member of President Truman's 1950 White House conference.
She is a member of the American Association of Social Workers, the National Conference of Social Workers, and the American Public Welfare association.
Prof. Twente is chairman of the Kansas interdepartmental committee, consisting of the heads of the department of health and welfare, crippled children's division, and the division of special education of the state department of public instruction.
She was born Dec. 10, 1895, in Little Rock, Mo. She attended high school in Independence, Mo., and was graduated from the University of Missouri in three years with a Phi Beta Kappa key. She obtained her master's degree in social work
at the University of Chicago. She is a member of Delta Kappa Gamma teachers' honor society.
