Women to "Get at the Causes"
Here’s a hope from Australia. That abominable thing, Victorian Charity, is to be done away. "Good works" are to be put on a scientific basis. " Kindness" will be directed neither to make a victim squirm nor to feed an ego. It will exist because it does exist-because there are still people who can care and pity and assist, selflessly and without vanity. "Charity" has been raised to the dignity of a profession every bit as important as medicine, The Board of Social Study and Training works in collaboration with. the University and with every practical social organisation in the country, Fifty women in Sydney, have embarked on its twoyear course. Only students who can prove a " personal aptitude " as‘well as the matriculation standard of education need apply. And it’s to be no -mere frivolous or fashionable gesture..Subjects for graduation are. social hygiene, economics, psychology, social history, social psychiatry, social theory, social legislation and administration, case discussion, child welfare, and family budgeting. The aim and intention: to "remove causes of, and not merely temporarily relieve, distress."
