[...] Flexner speaks of it as a brotherhood whose members are watchful of ethical standards critical of methods and devoted to the advancement of professional interests In the sixth place in a profession he points out the interests of the public take precedence over those of the vocational group and of the individual practitioner. [...] The relation of the State to social work is revealed in an analysis of the social functions of Government and a survey of the development of social legislation. [...] The Tata School recognizes the contributions of mental hygiene and psychiatry and endeavours to familiarize its students with the role of the social worker in the practical utilization of the principles of mental hygiene. [...] (2) He should be introduced to the field of social work as a whole and should be helped to build up a philosophy which will enable him to see the place of social work in the social process and the relation of his own work to the people and institutions who compose the social whole.
