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.
