THE SOCIAL CENTER
 HAS COME TO STAY

That the social center has come tu stay is indicated in a report just com piled by Clarence Arthur Perry, of the Russcl Sage foundation, New York city Mir. Perry shows that in places where the movement has already started the rate of growth is much higher than the rate at which it spreads in new localities Tn other words the actual results of the social center are more effective in getting public support than the words of it's most enthusiastic champions
 The work is getting on a more solid basis. Seventy cities had, during the winter of 1912-13. paid workers for acme form of social center activity. as opposed to A the previous season, and the amount expended in the main tenance of school centers has grown from $1SS.535 in 1912, to $324575 in tho past year. There are 1927 paid
 
 unteers workers, brings the number of persons engaged in social center di- rcction considerably above the 5000 mark
 That the general social and rccrca- ticnal possibilities of the "wider-u use of the school plant" movement are making a constantly greater appeal may be seen from the fact that in 9Sl school houses there were public enter tainments and lectures; in 496 school buildings there were ten meetings of adults to discuss local problems; ath- letics or folk dancing in 474 schools; and social dancing in 19O.
 A notable development of "wider use" in 1912-13 was for election and other civic purposes. Balloting during elections took place in 529 school he uses; 259 buildings were used for to the number of 4S1 took place in school edflces.
 Mir. Perry reports great difficulty in obtaining exact statistics of social center activities. Little uniformity of agreement exists as to what consti- tutes a social center. Even the name itself Is not constant--the institution Is variously reported as "rccreation center" "civic center social and
The Nome daily nugget., 1914-05-11

recreation center" evening center, '~rommunity center" etc. Some cities have social-center activities going on six nights a week; while others open their school buildings one or twice a month.
 We should however look beyond thc mere figures in judging social cen tcrs. says MT Perry "Centers of in- dividual growth and refinement, of civism and social lntergration-that Is what these places are, and, no system of numerals can ever be devised that will convey an adequate notion of the vitaliZing influences which radiate from them"

 The husband is pitted against a pro- fessional ducllist, it was charged, in order to get him out of the way. The institution sends out it's linen of hon or'' for this purpose, and it's existenc" is known both to the police and the public prosecutor. Ezeberger declared.
