TODD, ARTHUR JAMES. Scientific spirit and social work. *$2 Macmillan 361

“Prof. A. J. Todd, in his new book, points out that for 25 years social work has been professionalizing itself. He shows how modern social work enlarges the ‘rights of man,’ how it contributes to social progress, and what qualifications in character and training it demands of those who have entered it as a vocation.”—Springf’d Republican
“A most readable book for social workers”
