Excerpt from The Journal of Home Economics, 1914, Vol. 6: Complete in Five Numbers It took some time for the social workers to learn to use the house keeper's services and for the first few weeks the work was very much hampered by the fewness of the cases referred to it. At the end of the first six months we find that the work is really far heavier than one person can possibly manage, and already definite plans have been made to enlarge it in the very near future. We found at the outset that the referring of cases to the Visiting Housekeeper, by the different cooperating organizations, made it pos sible for her to gain a friendly entrance into the families. Perhaps the most valuable were the introductions given through our nurses and social workers, for they had already been of true help to the fam ily in question; therefore, when they suggested to a mother that she allow some one else to come in and help her in the matter of diet and home-making, the Visiting Housekeeper found that the way had al ready been paved, and she was sure of a more hearty reception than otherwise would have been accorded her.
