these standards to all new schools seeking admission to membership. While accreditation did not, in the initial period, carry any legal authority, a legal status has now become attached to the accrediting function in social work through legislation, rules, and regulations governing the employment of social work personnel by Federal, State, and local agencies. On July 1, 1952, the accrediting function previously undertaken by the American Association of Schools of Social Work was transferred along with its other functions to the Council on Social Work Education. The council carries on its accrediting responsibility for schools of social work in the United States and Canada through a semiautonomous commission on accreditation. The present accredited list reflects a new accreditation policy adopted by the commission and approved by the board to become effective on July 1, 1959. This policy provides that a school of social work shall be accredited for its basic curriculum and that there shall be no accrediting of any specialization by any definition. The basis of this policy is the belief that the 2-year graduate social work curriculum provides the basic professional preparation for social work practice in the variety of programs, services, and agencies which fall within the general field of social work. As a result of this new policy, the previous practice of noting certain accredited specializations on the list has been discontinued. Schools of social work generally provide a 2-year sequence of class and field instruction in the method of social casework; a number of schools provide also a similar sequence in the method of social group work; a few schools provide opportunities in addition for related class and field instruction in community organization, administration, and research. All schools use a variety of agencies, programs, and services for field instruction. The date in parentheses in the accredited list indicates the year in which the school was accredited. Sequences in the master's program and advanced programs of post-master's education are not subject to separate accreditation, but for identification purposes schools offering third-year and doctoral programs or both are marked with the †. All schools offer a 2-year sequence of class and field instruction in social casework. Schools marked with a # offer a 2-year sequence in class and field instruction in social group work. Inquiries about the types of agencies in which field instruction in social casework and social group work is offered, and educational programs and admission requirements of the various schools should be directed to the individual schools. Some schools have developed sequences of class and field instruction in community organization, administration and research, and inquiries concerning these sequences should be directed to the Council on Social Work Education. In addition to the current list, the Council on Social Work Education maintains, for reference purposes, a master list of all schools of social work that have been accredited by the American Association of Schools of Social Work and the council, showing the dates of establishment and discontinuance, the actual and retroactive dates of accreditation of basic programs, and the dates of change in status and former approval of specialized programs.

SAVILLA MILLIS SIMONS, CHAIRMAN, AD HOC COMMITTEE ON RESIDENCE LAWS, NATIONAL SOCIAL WELFARE ASSEMBLY; GENERAL DIRECTOR, NATIONAL TRAVELERS AID ASSOCIATION Mrs. SIMONS. I am Savilla Simons, and I am speaking in two capacities, as the general director of the National Travelers Aid Association, and also as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Residence Laws of the National Social Welfare Assembly. The CHAIRMAN. You are recognized, Mrs. Simons, and have a seat, if you desire. Mrs. SIMONS. Mr. Chairman, and members of the committee, I am here, as you see, to speak particularly on these rather controversial questions of the residence requirements. The Travelers Aid as a voluntary agency serving people who are on the move observes in its daily operations both the human and the administrative problems that result from residence requirements for public assistance and frequently these are really appalling. Sometimes they are fantastic because of the way people are moved from State to State and denied assistance when they are very much in need. As a result of this the National Travelers Aid Association committed itself in 1958 by official action, both the National Association and its local affiliates, to provide information about what happens as a result of these requirements, and to work for the reduction or the removal of such requirements as a condition for public assistance. The subcommittee on residence laws in the assembly was organized in 1957 by some 30 national health and welfare organizations which were increasingly concerned about the denial of assistance to needy people who were eligible except for the length of time they had lived in a particular place, and these organizations include such agencies as the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the AFL-CIO Community Services, and so on. The subcommittee has devoted itself particularly to providing information about the effects of residence requirements and if it is agreeable I should like to insert for the record one of the assembly's publications, "What They Say About Residence Laws." This contains the views of leaders in many organizations such as the Child Welfare Department of the American Legion, the United Community Funds and Councils, the National Council of Churches, and so on. Mr. KING (presiding). Without objection, that will be made a part of the record. (The statement referred to follows:) NATIONAL SOCIAL WELFARE ASSEMBLY, 345 EAST 46TH STREET, NEW YORK, N.Y. WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT RESIDENCE LAWS Statements of National Organizations and Leaders, Third Edition, May 1959 Ad Hoc Committee on Residence Laws, Mrs. Savilla Millis Simons, Chairman FOREWORD In our increasingly mobile society, in which people frequently move back and forth across State and county boundaries, residence requirements for essential public services are a source of increasing confusion, inefficiency, and hardship. A growing interest has been evidenced in the removal of such requirements. Many organization and groups are working to modify State and local residence restrictions. The ad hoc committee on residence law of the National Social Welfare Assembly, organized first in 1957 and reconstituted in 1958, includes in its membership representatives of 38 national organization. Modification of existing provisions, either through Federal or State legislation, or some combination of the two, can be obtained only through the efforts of groups to promote understanding by the local communiy, by citizen leaders, public officials, and representatives in the Congress and State legislatures, of the effects of these restrictions on the administration of health and welfare services and how they deprive American citizens of public benefits to which they are otherwise entitled. This revision of "What They Say About Residence Laws," issued first in 1957 and again in 1958, contains an impressive body of testimony in support of action to change or remove residence requirements. The ad hoc committee on residence laws is issuing this revision in the belief that it will be helpful |
