The article focuses on response of the journal "Social Work" to contributions it received for its January 1958 issue. After the first period of agonizing appraisal of the half-dozen manuscripts bequeathed to it, the flow of manuscripts has been steady and increasing and, better still the quality higher. Social work is in one of its critical perhaps the most critical, phase of reorganization and assimilation of new materials. The practitioner, the teacher, the administrator of the field are moving rather jerkily from the familiar ground of special field and technical outlook to other angles of vision which include more of the humanities and much of social science. While making good resolutions, perhaps one should remind oneself of the small as well as large responsibilities of those who write for a professional readership, just as one has to remind even graduate students to write on one side of the theme paper and mind their references. Good papers like good sermons can almost always be shorten--if one takes the time and trouble to do so.
