Social Centers

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 1.-THE
school social center idea has. taken
good root in Chicago. Last year
ten school buildings were opened
as social centers for children.
Now 1 8 school buildings have been
opened as social centers in the
widest sense of the word, for ev-
erybody, young and old, to use az
genuine neighborhood houses.
Free lecture courses will be es-
tablished, neighborhood clubs will
be organized, gymnasium and
baths will be opened to the public,
and all the other features that
have been inaugurated with such
success In Rochester and elsewhere
where the social center has taken
root, will characterize the work
of the Chicago centers.

may become open forums for popu-
lar discussions of all kinds" says
