oHAT would our great-grand
NNW mothers think If they could
WW know that we are gradually
" going back to their idea as
to the proper use of our schoolhouses,
and that the modern schoolhouse is be-
ing built with the idea of serving the
same purpose which the little red
schoolhouse of long ago served-that
is, a common meeting place Tor the
people of that school district?
OF course as in the olden days, there
are many people who think that the
schoolhouse is the place where the chill
dren should be sent to learn the three
rs from to each day. nine months
in the year. and during the vacation
term of three months the schoolhouse
should be religiously locked up and not
opened again until the beginning of the
next school term. But persons are now
alert to the value of the common meet
ing place and the community forum has
arrived.
The wider use of the school buildings
as social centers, making every school
house in the United States the meet
ing and voting place of the school dis
trict, educating the citizens of that
school through self-government. which
education is the result of citizens go
ing to school to one another" while re-
garded as new-fangled idea in the
district of Columbia by some people,
and. in fact. generally in the eastern
part of the United States, is not at all
new in the western and central parts
of the country. There the schools are
built with the idea of using them as
community centers and the plan is as
old as civilization itself.
The forum dates back to the golden
age of the Roman empire. when the
market places were forums of the peo-
pie, and where all the public business
was transacted and all questions dis
cussed and decided by the people them
selves In Athens the citizens were
paid to come to the market places and
take part in discussions.
The first social center in the District
OF Columbia was started at the Grover
Cleveland School by the principal, Miss
Frances S. Farley. in the winter of

Wilson. daughter of the President; Miss
Cecil B. Norton, who in the fall of 1913
was appointed first grade teacher in the
Grover Cleveland School, and who, to
quote both Miss Wilson and Miss Farley,
has been the genius of inspiration in the
work, and Miss Cornelia Adds, who gave
the money that carried on the work for
the first winter.
During the winter Of 1918 great changes
came over the social center. Sewing
classes. dramatic classes and classes in
modern and rhythmic dancing were added.
The school hall and building was in use
every evening in the week 1t became
the home of the children Of the Grover
Cleveland School district, and few moth
ers in that section ever worried during
that winter about the whereabouts of
their children. They knew they were
at the Grover Cleveland social center.
Now real home had been made for
the children who attended the school,
but something happened that winter
which focused the attention of these wom-
en- on the fact that while they had taken
care of the boys and girls who attended
the school during the daytime. the half
grown boys and girls who did not attend
the school--those who worked. went to
high school or remained at home to help
their parents during the day-had no
place to meet but on the streets. In the
neighborhood was what was called the
gang" composed of boys from sixteen to
twenty-one years OF age. Some OF the
hoys were arrested one evening on a
charge of lettering on a street corner.
Something had to be done for that
gang" Miss Farley and Miss Norton
visited the school board and asked for
permission to use the schools one night
a week for these boys.
They obtained permission, the boys
organized a club, took the greatest
pleasure in caring for the hall. seeing
that it was clean and in good order
when they left it, and then commenced
to spread out into several clubs, nota-
bly dramatic club, to which the girls

noticed, an organization has been
NJ formed which will revolutionize
duction.
During the past summer the Amert-
can Academy Of Sciences-an organiza-
ton established soon after the close of
the civil war for the promotion of pure
scIence-moved primarily by the condi-
ton of national helplessness and by a
patriotic desire to remedy undertook
the formation of a national research
council. whose purpose is to assist in
putting this country in a state of pre-
paredness by the coordination and CO.
operation of all it's scientific men and
organizations
This suggestion met the approval Of
President Wilson. who last June re-

This organization, so beneficent in
it's conception, was created because
these men saw sad condition. They
knew that this country has been so
prodigal of its natural resources and

a reform had to come. They saw that
Germany may be going down. but not

world the splendor of the mobilization
of it's industrial resources to sustain
her military power.
