Anybody remember what Raymond
Fosdick reported to Secretary of
War Newton D. Baker after the
last war in talking about recrea-
tional facilities of civilian agencies

he said, "that the lesson of the war
in social work involves therefore
perhaps three points: the elimina-
tion of sectarian auspices, reduc-
tion in the number of agencies em-
ployed, and the transfer to the
Government itself of much of the
activity hitherto left to private
initiative."
