JOHNSIB NVNN As social workers we find that one of our moot Important and difficult duties is that of relieving, aiding and guiding children in special need due to poverty .mis fortune or behavior difficulties. We are also to protect children ? from abuse, exploitation or moral hazard. De- tucping little minds and souls in our world of temptation md uncertainty, the molding of little bodies, the growing of these little flowers into splendid men and women calls for the best that Is in us. We must have instinctive love for the work, a joy in its per formance and a skill and know ledge that is almost easier to illustrate than to express. As Child Welfare Workers, we I begin with the assumption that the home is the basis of the social' fabric and the right and natural j retting for any child. Any effort made to take a child away from his parents except when absolutely necessary is a mistake. On the other hand, the preser vation of the child's own home should be the first aim of the Child Welfare Worker. Surley we re alize that tt la better to prevent an orphan than It U to care for one. Any reaaonable good mother la the beet end most economical caretaker of her child an Improve ment over an orphanage or a foster home. So before moving a child from his home th? Agency should see Itself In the light of a reserve to be called upon when all else falls. If many of our families are not to b* broken up unnecessarily there must be a closer working relationship between the Child Caring Agency and the public and private organizations which aim to protect the home from disaster. We sometimes find a mother who is embarrassed and hesitates to accept relief in order that she keep her home together. Ourjob is to help her see that it is far more self-raspecting to accept re lief than to bs willing to part with her child. use of the requirements of ADC applicants, and among those re quirements is the one of o safe and proper home. They expect us through hard, conscientious work to help not only in financing de pendent children but they expect us to supervise this home in such a way that the workers and the mothers can truthfully say that these children are in saf-e and proper homes because they have what every child should have.
