Publication Date

About This Book

This book defines and explains the social case history. Published in 1920 as a guide for social scientists, it argues that case history is defined by its intended purpose; namely, the immediate purpose of furthering effective treatment of individual clients, the ultimate purpose of general social betterment, or the incidental purpose of establishing the case worker herself in critical thinking.

ADA ELIOT SHEFFIELD was director of the Boston Bureau on Illegitimacy.

About This Book

This book, published in 1920, examines a then-recent phenomenon of combining educational material and presentations with transportation facilities: the putting of exhibits, demonstrations, films, and other campaigning equipment on railroad trains, trolley cars, and motor trucks so that they may tour a large area of land. These vehicles were used to teach health, sanitation, and safety. Presented here is a review of these practices, with commentary by the author, aiming to stimulate the creation of new forms of illustrative material.

MARY SWAIN ROUTZAHN was director at the Department of Social Work Interpretation of the Russell Sage Foundation.
