Pointing out the importance of social work, John Ihlder, president of the Council of Social Agencies, compared its functions in the mod ern economic system to that of oil in a moving machine. Machinery might he operated, lie said, without oil. Rut the loss would be tremendous and the breakdowns frequent,” he as serted. adding: ' Obvious as this fact is to any en gineer, it takes constant advertising to impress its truth upon the general ♦/.public—that oil is an essential and 'good oil an economy. Anil in just the same way it is necessary to show the public that social work is essen tial and good social work an econ omy.” UrM-ribm Indorsement. M. A.
