SOCIAL WORKER
GIVES LECTURE
Miss Creech of Portland
Talks at Y.W.C.A.
MOTIVES ARE OUTLINED
History of Movement From
First Beginnings Told
“Social work is the improving of
defective adjustments of individ
uals,” was the manner in which
Miss Margaret Creech spoke to the
members of the Y. W. C. A. at a
regular meeting held in the bunga
low at 4:30 yesterday.
During her talk, Miss Creech
traced the history of social work,
showing that motives and methods
irt early days were very different
from those nowadays. Alms were
given in former times out of a feel
ing of sympathy, she explained,
while later there was a religious mo
tive for charity. But, she went on
to say, out of the religions
grow a great amount of sel
fishness, for the alms were given
to help the giver’s soul rather than
for the benefit of the poor. Later
on, in Rome, especially, political
motives were the reasons for so
cial work.
Today, Miss Creech said, social
work has social motives. It is the
“idea of helping out of poverty and
not helping in it." In modern
times, the speaker continued, so
<cial work is based on thorough in
vestigation and upon an effort to
prevent further recurrence of the
condition. This requires a com
plete study of the relation of the
individual to society.
In order to show what social
workers do, Miss Creech gave a
brief summary of the various fields
where they may find occupation.
The first of these is case work in
which the social worker comes in
direct contact with the individual,
studies his case and Beelcs to
remedy it. The case worker comes
into contact with the immediate
family. Also probation officers,
and visiting teachers are case
workers, Miss Creech explained.
Croup work is the second field
which the speaker mentioned. This
phase of social service, she said, is
similar to case work in that the
worker still is face to face with
the individual. However, the in
dividuals are in groups. Alone, the
worker works out the problems of'
the persons in such organizations:
as boy scouts, girls reserves, set
tlement houses, and immigration
schools or community houses. An
other form of social service which
Miss Creech described was insti
tutional care such as that done by
the “Boys and Girls Aid Society”
in Portland, homes for the aged I
and baby homes, both temporary j
and permanent.
Public health and hygiene was1
the next form of social work ex
plained bv the speaker. She told
how it includes either the teach
ing of hygiene or the providing of
public service for health. Work
ers in this field include visiting
nurses, school nurses and operators
of public dispensaries. Child labor;
workers or those studying housing!
'renditions nro included in the field
of social research. The employ
ment of these, especially those in
Vestigating the housing conditions,1
includes a study of the health of
the community, group or individual
and the moral influence under
which they exist.
“Then comer the need of propa
gandists,” Miss Creech continued.
Propaganda is furnished either
through legislation or education.
The propagandists make use of the
information gathered by social re
search workers. Still another field
of activity in which social work
ers perform is the administration
of. social service. Kither heads of
social agencies or instructors in so
siology come in this group.
“Tt is hardly possible for one
type of social work to exist without
the other,” Miss Creech declared.
This is because they are interde
pendent, she went on to explain.
The work is founded on a desire to
raise standards of living or keen
them on a certain specified level,
she said further.
Suoli work is carried on by i>ri
vnt'r institutions, through legisla
tive taxation and under the direc
tion of community chests where the
funds arc pooled, Miss Creech
stated. The people who gd into
this work may lie trained in schools
of sociology or they may siinolv
tie interested in the work enough
to become apprentices.
The work mainly depends upon
the ability of the social worker to
investigate the eases and make per
manent improvements. “.Tust as a
doctor diagnoses his ease, so does
the social worker make her iliac
nosis, and apply the correct rem
edy,” Miss Creech said in conclu
sion.
flare Whitfon, a freshman in the
STUDENT COMPARES ASSEMBLY
AND MERCHANTS’ CONVENTION
Cblored Caps, Smoke Clouds, Villard Hall Rearranged; Were
Some of Many Impressions Gathered
Green—yellow—refl, colors rioting
daringly in the grey convention
meeting, cigar fcnupke '^louds. A
disarranged Villard hall; a hasty
tiptoe across the room; an effort to
look steady-nerved at the host of
smiling eyes that met the newcomer.
Such were the first impressions of
the student visiting the .Retail
Merchants' convention.
Someone was speaking. There
was perfect silence, attention. Oc
casionally, a brightly capped head
moved, to change the design of the
smoke wreaths. What a contrast,
i thought the student, between this
[meeting and a student assembly!
I The student counted four women
| present. They too wore the distinc
j live little caps. University women
should wear them too, lie decided.
A sudden burst of applause in
i terrupted his musings. Ilia- atten
tion was shifted to the speaker, who
was putting forth his points in
forceful tones. He was telling
about the Seattle high .school class
which does a part of its elass work
in the down town stores. Tho mer
chants are glad to cooperate, the
speaker was saying, as they realize
that the students are the ones to
carry on the business of tomorrow.
The minutes went on, somehow,
and the student began to feel un
easy. He glanced at his companion,
who was complete^ absorbed in
“Plutarch’s Lives.” He was aware
of the speaker’s background, a
huge flag, a statue, two charts and
a coterie of president officers,
around the usual table. The student
couldn’t see, but he felt, somehow,
that the president ought to have
an ash tray a little more imposing
than the tin ones adorning the
tables which were run slant-wise
through the assembled delegates.
“See those charts” he whispered to
his companion. “They look like
they might have reference to Pro
fessor Stillman’s lectures,” he sug
gested.
“X never could understand
charts,” was the reply, as a plunge
back into Romulus was made.
The minutes dragged themselves
on, and the student went over the
details three times. Finally, his
companion looked up in disgust, j
“Well, if we’re going to get to
that 4 o’clock class, we’d better be
traveling.” The student was panic
stricken. He tried to reason, in i
quiet tones, that the next speech
had to go in, but to no avail. The
4 o’clock couldn’t wait, so the task
was passed on to an obliging trade
journalist, and the two slipped out,
in their most unobstrustive manner.
At the floor, a host of students,
armed with pens and notebooks
awaited them. “No, there’s no tell
ing when the next speaker will
begin,” the student said as he hur
ried to catch up with his com
panion. “Wonder what kind of
cigars those merchants use,” he re
marked, as they reached the cool
breeze at the door.
University, sang “For You Alone”
and “China Girl.” Peggy Boyer
gave a scripture reading and Olga
Jackson presided over the meeting.

professors to teach in the Portland

'ANNE DEAR:
Refreshing is the word. These
spring days fill one with pep,
and a desire to look one’s best,
as if to celebrate the fact that
real winter is over.
As I am so tired of wearing
dark clothes, I am having a satin
faced crepe, which is so popular
this year, dress made by Mrs.
Fannie L. Stansbie. It is that
cheerful green that is so much
in vogue now, and is being made
with a short, full skirt and
straight blouse. Of course, it is |
sleeveless; and the only trim- 1

nament on the left side. She |
-does such wonderful work, and |
her shop is. located at 938 Wil-1

At the Style Shop I found a
