SOCIAL cENTERs OFFER MUCH.
MFR. Fogwell Has Alluring Program, n
Guiding Dances, Study Glasses
and Music, Planned.

Following the suggestion in the ninth
chapter, tWenty-second verse Of First
Corinthians, David R. Fogwell intends
making the social centers this winter
"all things to all men,
He has prepared a program of acti-
vities which is designed to satisfy the
longing of all kinds and conditions of
men, as well as of all ages, and in the
greater, "man," are included the
lesser, women and children.
In each center Mr.. Fogwell hopes to
have men s civic club to debate and
study current affairs, a ent-teacher
organization, literary study class,
chorus singing, quiet games and active
games and special schedule to attract
the youthful mind that includes such
Turing features as dramatic entertain
ments, socials, dancing and other par
ties, folk dancing, operettas, chorus and
literary work similar to that offered
the adults. Especially is it believed
that the dancing, given under the
wholesome surroundings which the So
cial center in the schools make possible,
will be a desirable feature. It will at
tract those young people who are hun
gering for the innocent recreation TO
which they are entitled and to which
meagre incomes often form a bar.
To be able to go thus to place where
they may have music and dancing and
a general good time under wholesome
and benign influence, properly chaper-
oned by teachers and others as they
will be, may mean saving them from
associations which would lead into evil
ways.
For the young men, especially, will
be formed civic and debating clubs,
glee clubs, dramatic, athletic, musical,
minstrel and game clubs. For the
young women classes or clubs in domes-
tic science and needlework will be add
ed to the activities for the young men
while some of the things more particu-
larly interesting to the men will be
omitted from their schedule.
Among the special activities which
will be of interest are, for adults,
toy makers group, manual training,
poster club work, show card writing
for advertising purposes, newspaper
making, advertising committee, handi-
craft clubs, kitchen garden study serv-
ing, cooking, ventilation and many
other subjects.
Outing clubs will be formed for any
who are interested
Lectures are to be provided. Camera
clubs are planned and these are but
few of the interesting activities which
are offered.
Everyone in a given district is en-
titled to come to these centers. They
are the property of the tax payer, and
the tax payer includes the man who
through the increased amount of his
room rent helps his landlord to pay his
taxes as it does the man who actually
holds land. The Taxpayer is also one
who eats and buys clothes in this city,
thereby paying his profits toward the
uphccP VI INC property where In0S0
articles are sold and which therefore
aids the direct tax payer, just as surely
as is the man who owns the title to
taxable property.
Because of this there is not the
slightest idea of charity in connection
with the centers. They are free to the
people because the people through their
payments to the tax assessors, either
directly through the ownership to tax
able property, or indirectly through
their payment of rentals and other ex-
penses, are supporting them and own
them. Every one living in any given
district is invited to come to the social
eenters with the certainty Of vel
