FOREWORD

Like the first, the present edition of the
Directory of Charitable and Social Service
Organizations and Institutions is published
for the use of social workers and laymen.
Since the first edition was issued, new
agencies have sprung up and the old ones
have undergone various changes, making a
revision absolutely necessary.

In this directory the agencies are listed
under the various functions that they per-
form in order that it may be easy for any
one interested in a case needing special
attention to get at the agency which can
best handle it. The Index at the end of
the directory is arranged alphabetically so
as to facilitate looking up any organization
or institution about which information is
desired.

We have endeavored to include in this
edition all the welfare agencies in Manila

189829 2 3

and vicinity that we know of, but new
agencies may have been organized since we
last made the survey. The Office of the
Public Welfare Commissioner will be glad
to have its attention called to existing
agencies that are not found in this directory,
in order that it may include them in the
next edition.

Jose Fabella,
Public Welfare Commissioner.
