The social Center.

That taeso-catledt social center idea
has come to stay is indicated jim a
report just compiled by Clarence
Arthur Perry, OF the Russell Sage
Foundat ION, New York City. Mr..
Perry shows that in places where
the rate of growth is much higher
the movement has already started
than the rate at which it spreads IN
new localities. In other words the
actual results of the social center are
more effective in getting public sup
port than the words of it's most en-
thusiastic champions.
The work is getting on more
solid basis Seventy-one cities had,
during the winter of 1912l13, paid
workers for some form of social
center activity, as opposed to forty
four the previous season, and the
amount expended in the maintenance
of school centers has grown from
S139, 533 in 1912 to 1924, SIS in the
last year. There are 1927 paid
workers reported This, with the
volunteer workers, brings the num-
her OF persons engaged in social CEN
ter direction considerably above the
3 900 mark.
That the general social and recre-
ational possibilities of the wider
se-of-the-school-pla movement
are making a considerable greater
appeal may be seen from the fact
that in 9S1 school houses there were
public entertainments and lectures;
in 496 school buildings there were
open meetings of adults to discuss

Democrats and Dollar Diplomacy.
According to adyices from Wash
ington, Mr.. Bryan finds himself
forced to to adopt dollar diplomacy,
insofar as it applies to an aggressive
government support of American
commerce abroad. although, OF
course, under another name. Secre-
tary Redfield, Of the Department OF
Commerce, Chairman Underwood and
other forces in the Democracy are
said to be urging this policy, which,
Indeed. is understood to have the APP
Iproval of the president himself.
In all probability, therefore, notes
the Omaha Bee. Mr.. Bryan as secre-
tary of state will soon be promoting
the identical dollar diplomacy whic n,
on the stump and chautauqua plat
forms, he so-roundly condemned IN
the preceding administration. or
course, the principal of so-taaled dol
lar diplomacy is not new; It has only
been brought before the public In 2
grossly distorted form for spolittcaI
purposes.r Diplomacy always has ex-
ercised ats influence for the spread
OF trade and has admittedly a legit-
innate function to- perform In TINS
connection.
Present plans for the readoption
OF the principle only go to show tnat
1T is one thing for a party playing
for votes to condemn and quite an
other to execute when it comes INTO
power.

Gr. Perry reports great difficulty
in obtaining exact statistics of social
center activities. little uniformity
of agreement exists as to what con-
stftutes a social center. Even the
name itself is not constantine IN
stftutfon is variously reported as

center activities going on six nights
