The following bibliography has been developed in connection with courses on social service in the Department of Psychology of the University of Pennsylvania. Its aim is to furnish a background for studying the heterogeneous mass of activities known as the modern “Social Service Movement”. General biological, psychological, and sociological knowledge is presupposedreferences avowedly technical in any of these subjects are mainly to the applied branches. Current references, in general omitted, may be easily secured by consulting the general bibliographical sources and periodicals in section V.
Aside from the more general references, the scope is quite obviously limited to the needs of the social worker in a psychological clinic, or in some closely allied work, such as special class visiting, school clinics, or hospital social work, though the last requires technical information on many other lines, such as baby hygiene, care of convalescents, etc. No attempt has been made to do more than indicate the existence of special problems met by the workers in philanthropic organizations, such as family rehabilitation, child placing, etc. Even the special references however, have been chosen largely as they serve to indicate the interrelation of the different activities to each other and to the large aims common to all.
The reasons for emphasizing the work of the public schools so strongly are as follows. The public school is supremely important as an agent of social progress because it is the only institution that has continuous responsibility and oversight of the great majority of individuals in society for any considerable period of time. Most of the functions of government are concerned with individuals only in exceptional and frequently abnormal circumstances ; that is, existing for purposes of police protection, sanitation, of tax raising, they intervene in personal lives only in time of stress or violation of law.
Continuity is something that becomes greatly prized by social workers who are confronted by the baffling gaps in society’s provisions for its members. We have for example, homes for cripples, that will not take the child of backward mind; schools for the deaf frequently refuse cripples; the hearing mute finds no refuge anywhere; hospitals for the insane require that the inmate be over fifteen years; our houses of refuge turn the child out at twentyone however pathetically a child and however much in need of fostering he still may be.
Our public schools have enough of these gaps: the law compels attendance for six years, and provides an eight year course; motor minded boys and girls wait from the kindergarten till the third or fourth grade before a few hours a week are granted when they can learn in their own terms; at fourteen they must begin again on an entirely different kind of road, or go forth to make bricks without straw, and so on. But these gaps are largely mechanical difficulties with solutions that are rapidly appearing. The school actually stands ready to sponsor every child from four until past college years, in all the phases and not merely at the crises in his life. !No other agency is thus equipped to meet the needs of coordination, centralization, and continuity. Many activities for social betterment inaugurated by private individuals and societies are passing or have passed under school control. We must know what our actual and potential resources are. In the schools facts are being discovered and principles worked out which are destined to modify profoundly our industrial, political, and legal organization. Governments and particularly school systems are not now merely conservative, waiting upon and following private initiative and research; with the growth of social consciousness is coming social action.
