SOCIAL WORK SERIES
EDITED BY MARY E. RICHMOND
Many people have general views in these days upon almost any matter which affects social welfare; we all know how easily such views find expression. On the other hand, only a few have the patience and the insight to gather the specific facts and find out what they mean. Still fewer—having done so much as this—can explain the meaning lucidly and in brief compass.
It is the ambition of the Social Work Series to embody, in the field of social service at least, the message of a representative group of these few. The first three volumes are as follows:
Disasters and the American Red Cross in Disaster Relief. By J. Byron Deacon.
Household Management. By Florence Nesbitt.
