In the earlier experimental stages of the attack upon any new human problem, I know no better witnesses than the social case workers. They have the interest that must precede observation, they have the habit of observing, and they are by no means credulous. Accordingly, following a plan that I have tried before and never without grateful appreciation of the patience of my correspondents, Ihave sought, in preparation for my share in this meeting, the aid of a number of experienced social workers, selecting by pref erence those now actively engaged in the work of the Home Service Sections of the Red Cross. Their evidence, together with that of a few Canadian workers, must be violently fore shortened in this brief presentation, but I shall try to sum it up under the six heads of (1) the unstable husband and father, (2) the unstable wife and mother, (3) the recently married, (4) the unmarried soldier or sailor, (5) the stable and responsible head of a family, (6) what we can do about it.
