THE ATHENAEUM 191 training for it involves such a.wide scope of things, those who are graduates in it are qualified for numerous other pursuits besides it. All persons who are interested in mingling with people, in working among them for beneficial purposes, and in studying their needs and desires, should attend the schools of social work in this country.. The Atlanta School of Social Work is the only one located in the Far South for the special training and preparation of workers in the field of social service. The number of graduates from it increases vastly each year, and it offers immense oppor tunities and possibilities for young college men and women. We trust that the attendance next year may far exceed that of this year, as that of this year far exceeded that of last year. We have great reasons to expect nothing but success.
