work on the part of profession- ally trained workers and volun- teer workers from the community at large. He outlined the role of the volunteer worker in social work and with social welfare agencies, by serving on the mem- bership or on the Board of Trul- tees of private welfare agencies so as to direct social welfare work in the community as a policy-making group for the agency and helping to decide how, where, when, funds are to be raised and expended.

Ha brought out methods of ob- taining volunteer workers, pro- cedure in fitting them with cer- tain jobl. the necessity of super- vision of the work of volunteer workers by the professionally trained staff person. and of short term training periods for volun- teer workers before they are given responsibility on the job. Dr. C. L. Gan of Suckville, N.B. addressed the luncheon meeting on the general subject of "Pro- fessional Standards."

Ho gave a few qualifications which underlie all professions. First the ability and willingness to work hard and patiently. Sec- ondly, common sense. which is most necessary In all professions. Thirdly, love of the work he is doing on the part of the profes- sional person.

He showed close relationship be- tween the pt fessions of social work and medicine. that of work- ing with "unfortunate people. The chief underlying principle which guides people in both professions is the welfare of the patient or client. The social worker must be concerned with problems other than economic need.

He said the most Important part of man that social workers have to deal with is not the biological man, but man's mind _and spirit. his thoughts, feelings, hates, fears, loves and emotions. Man's personality needs are. as stated by the speaker, affec- tion, a sense of belonging to some- one or some place, a sense of in- dependence from outside help in making his own decisions and in deciding his own pattern of life, l need for achievement, a need for recognition. for the feeling that he counts for something. a need for self-esteem.

Maritime School Discussed

In opening the discussion on the Maritime School of Social Work. Miss Montgomery. Point- ed out that there are in Canada only eight schools of social work. six English and two French. Seven of the schools are connected with individual universities-the Marl- tlme School of Social Work be- ing associated with several col- leges in the Maritimes.

During the academic year 1948- 49 there were in the seven schools of social work (the eighth being initiated only this summer) 657 regular students, of whom 472 were full time. The schools range in size from those of the ‘University of Toronto and Univer- sity of British Columbia with 139 and 127 students respectively to the Maritime School with l6 stu- dents.

During its nine years of exist- ence, the Maritime School enroll- ed only sixty students. of whom forty-six received diplomas. All of the graduates were born in the Maritimes, and the majority of them remained in the field in the Maritlrnel. She pointed out that these figures are very low, especially in view of the personnel needs in the field.

it is significant that those who have carried the burden of work through the years without bene- fit of professional training or of much assistance from profession- ally trained workers. are among the greatest promoters and sup- porters of professional schools of social work.

EVENING ESSION

“I come as a borrower in the main. but hope that, in the field of social services particularly, Newfoundland may some day make a contribution of human values and--that characteristic of the Maritimes-interest in the commonplace. to the whole of Canada," said Dr. Pottle.

Miss Yeo and to all others who have helped to make our conven- tion s. success. “Whereas the P.E.I.'I‘.1". has ac- complished much of benefit to our teachers.

since Confederation. and outlined the "meagre legacy" received at that time. Widows‘ pensions were $10 to $15 per quarter. Old Age Pensions amounted to $18 per person per quarter at the qualify- iug age of 70 and $30 per quarter- was given two persons under cer- tain defined circumstances.

The social welfare staff at Con- federation consisted of a few qualified workers to fake care of headquarter.’ administration, in- stitutlons for indigent folk. in- fant‘: home, maternity home, homes and training schools for boys and girls. a large home for aged and infirm. a number of smaller ones in St. John's and orphanages under private manage- ment supported by government grants.

To date, the new Department has been busy with the Immediate problems. It implemented the Old Age Pensions in co-operation with the Dominion Government at $40 per month. allowing many of the old people from St. John's to find new homes or return to happy homes in the outports. A beau- tiful estate has been acquired for the Boys’ School and Training Centre. Other developments will follow as me opportunitlesfirise.

Dr. Poitle indicated that social welfare work was gradually de- VEIOPIH; Into a government func- tion. “While there is a great volume of voluntary service in St. John's by philanthropic agencies. churches and service clubs, it is not necessarily social service." he added.

Discussing the "welfare state," the speaker said the phrase often arouses the suspicion that tin state is taking more power unto itself. “if this power is sought as an end in itself. the result is a tyranny. But if it is sought for increased bpportunities for service. it will enhance human values," he said.

In Newfoundland. the recent pensions and allowances have caused a terrific impact. Ours is a problem of interpretation 1c the public. We must carry that public with us to succeed in our plans, concluded Dr. Pottle.

Monthly Meeting B. I. Society

The regular monthly meeting of the Benevolent Irish Society was held in the Whelan Memorial Hall last night with the President. Brother J. J. Cormolly presiding. There were s. large number present.
