Place for Women in Social Service, Says Mrs. Brigham
Various Phases of Work Discussed in "Choose Your Career"
Lecture
Lecture
"No one should outer social service work without a Christian aim," said Mrs. Bessie Brigham, assistant director of the Christian Academy in Kansas City, Mia. in her talk at the third meeting of "Chooses Your Career" week, in the central Administration auditorium yesterday at 10 a.m., before work end, and the work only the means."
Mrs. Brigham, who has been in social service work in Kansas City for almost 20 years, said that one of the most vital qualifications for social work was college training. She advised those present to go to a service school after graduation from college before entering this work.
Social Work Explained
"Social work is the business of producing, changing or adjusting social organization and procedure in the interest of human welfare, according to scientific standards," Mrs. Brigham said. "I am so busy doing this work that they have not educated the public about it. It has only been in the last three years that the national federation has been trying to educate the public in respect of poor health posing tremendous possibilities in the field of social work."
Few people recognize the great divisionalism of social work, Mrs. Brigham said, and she showed a chart giving the relative values of the various kinds of work done by social agencies. The three great divisions of work are work with individuals, with groups, and with organizations.
"The good welfare worker becomes by necessity a case worker," said Mrs. Brigham in speaking of this type of work. "One who desires to do case work must have the qualities of make up, for many cases confidence are easily made to, and one capable of guarding such conflicts."
Types of Work Named
"The field that is probably the best in social work and that is going to have one of the greatest futures is the medical social worker or the psychiatric social worker. The medical social worker goes into the family to help with conditions that cause the sickness. Many workers are needed in this field."
Girls' protective work, prisoners' aid work, recreational directors in settlement or neighborhood houses and child guidance clinic work were other important types of work mentioned by Mrs. Brigham.
"Children need to have their habits doctored the same as they need to save their bodies doctorsed in clinics," said Mr. Brigham. "This is the purpose of the child guidance clinic." "Choose Your Career" week ended this afternoon with a talk by Dr. Sybil Woodruff, of the home economics department, on the subject of Economics and Related Sciences."
