Community organization includes
those activities which concern them-

In general, it is his duty to see to it
that the interests of the community
are safe-guarded at all times.
The right kind of executive should
do a great deal more than this. He
should be a community leader in the
full sense of the term and he should
be at all times ready to stimulate the
community for such collective action
as may be necessary in the'numerous
problems which face it. He should

The "center" usually provides also for
their educational and social needs. The
Jewish Community Center executive
should be a highly intelligent person
because he must be ready to become a
leader of youth. Frequently his work
!requires also that he concern himself
with general community problems and
he has, therefore, ample opportunity
to become a community leader.
A third type of Jewish social work
is what is commonly called social case
work.
This consists of rebuilding, or
I
as social workers call it, "rehabilitat-
:ing" families and individuals and
'assisting them to adjust themselves to
their environment. The case worker
is the "family physician" in • social
sense. It is his or her task not only
to mend those who have been broken
in the social and industrial process,
but also to prevent others from break-

graduates of the Training School for
Jewish Social Work were placed at
beginning salaries ranging from $1,-
500 to $2,500 fur the first year. In
general, it may be said that salaries
in the field of Jewish social work de-
pend largely upon the field of work
in which one is engaged. They range
from approximately $1,600 a year to
$10,0a There are a number of posi-
tions ..hroughout the country which
pay in re than $10,000 per year, but
these are of course in the minority.
It should be noted, however, that no
person should select social work who
wants to become wealthy. While
