It is denied complete professional recognition because its representatives have not as a class sought thorough training. Social welfare agencies from the standpoint of efficiency suffer greatly because of ill- trained workers. But through the activities of training schools for social workers, social  welfare institutions are able to transform their official personnel from a combination of paid but self-trained individuals and untrained irregular volunteers to an integrated group of paid, thoroughly trained workers, assisted by seriously-minded young people  who are rendering volunteer service under the joint  direction of trained social workers and the superv
