these problems actively by a joint

There is no longer any doubt that
the communities making permanent

communities where all the people are
working together. Cooperation is
contagious, and once a method Is pro-
vided for making public opinion effec-

new stimulus 20 every line OF work,
for the person who has a special civic
project will know that sooner or later
his efforts can be joined with many
others in the solving of that pafticu-
lar problem.
Cooperation Of this sort has not
been greatly followed in Delaware
because there has been no agency
whose duty it was OF whose time was

ment as a whole and which could be
called upon to supply the information
and assistance TO set in motion con-

The question has been asked,
whether the General Service Board
cOntempiates any centralized hand
ling Of funds for the civic and social
welfare agencies and societies nov ac-
tive in the State. This is not the
purpose of the board Centralized
control of money is practiced IN some
cities, but up 10 this time only among
charitable and relief organizations.
such as the Federated Charities OF
Cleveland and Dayton.
1t viii be one OF the functions Of
the General Service Beard TO aim at
economy through 4 close cooperation
in methods, policies, and programs. so
that there will be no duplication of
work or expense. For this purpose
it aims to establish council OF rep
resentatiye thinkers and workers on
all lines who will be able TO see the
civic development of the city and
State as a whole. and provide cen
tral and intelligent responsibility for
referring to the proper agencies. all
the subjects which need study and
action in The city and the State.
Further, by securing the co-opera-
tion of existing organizations on
movements which are related to their
work. the public may be saved from
being solicited on a great many OF
the projects which require compare
lively small sums of money. At pres.
ent il a needed piece of work cost.
ing $3.50 is initiated in an organiza-
tion having only $50 20 devote to IL
the unsual recourse is TO go to the
public or leave the work undone. Th6
improvements being sought by mosi
of our civic and welfare organization,
are closely inter-related. however
and it is entirely possible that a dis,
interested presentation of facts and
conditions placed at the service OF al
these organizations might lead to Co
operative sharing Of expense on many
approved issues.
There are also measures which re
quirc no money but require the COM
btned and organized support OF IA
large number OF citizens. CcrtaiI
health measures in Wilmington, ant
the State, for example. and the neces
sary legislation TO assist educationa
