Excerpt from What Is Social Case Work? An Introductory Description Howe's stone was cast - not like Laura's into a brook, but into shoreless waters upon which the circles continue to widen and widen. The story of what followed has been told many times, but not from the angle from which, as an introduction to the subject of case work, I now propose to view it.
