interested in the care and welfare of children. All workers in
child guidance are aware that educational work of this kind is
among the most fruitful that centres such as ours can undertake.
At all times child guidance workers have to assume an unusual
degree of responsibility. The object in drawing attention to these
points, has been to emphasise the fact, that, the statement of the
number of cases seen in the centre, and the arrangements made
for their disposal, by no means gives the full picture of the work
that the centre undertakes. It is not only in the direct work with
children and their families, but in the numerous contact with all
those concerned with the welfare of children, that child guidance
makes its full contribution.
