A Tribute from the Social Service Department Of all the ills to which we're heir, What evil could be worse Than Social Service going on Without a Pupil Nurse! Not long ago we knew such woe, But ne'er shall know it more, For our Directress saw our plight And promptly sent us four. Then four more nurses hurried up All eager for the treat, Their uniforms were blue, their shoes Were black upon their feet, And this was hardly odd, they were Not ready for the street. Their little caps were white and trim, Their capes were lined with red, Their hair did not puff boldly out On each side of the head. fFor if it had, they would have been Some other place insteadj O Nurses, come and talk with us! The Social Workers cried, UOf all the things of which we know And many more beside, K'Of Evidence and Alcohol And Underdrainage, too, Of Social Diagnosis and Initial Interview, And why the Murphy family Should live the way they did. 'UWe will, the dauntless nurses said uAnd show us where to find The Registration Bureau, for We have a questing mind, And when inspecting tenements Oh, leave us not behind. Pray teach us the Signihcance Qf each Obstetric Case, Does it concern the Family Or just the Human Race? And if we lack Heredity, Can training take its place? 'fThe Patient is not all the Case, The social one replied, f'The Unit is the Household, and It has a Home outside.

'4No, no, another Worker urged, 4'You make me quite distressed, The Unit is the Patient, and ' The Background is the rest. The Face-sheet is not quite the same As the Draw-sheet, you must know, Upon that sheet, the Household stands Alllisted in a row. With Outside Sources close at hand If all is' rightly done, But when you call on Number Two Donlt ask for Number Une, For Number One is innocent And may not see the fun. The nurses heeded all they heard Till they could learn no more, And as each group departed, still There came another four. Long may they come! Though cold the day They'll find an open door.
