Secret of a Successful Community.
The men and women who are backing the Social
Unit experimentation the Cincinnati district is
really a laboratory for social experimentation.
and hundreds of men and women of vision are
interested in it-believe that the secret of a sue
cessful community organization lies in making
everyone feel that he is important. It is hard to
feel that you are important, and that what you
do counts for good or Ill. in q city of half a mil
lion or more. But in a city block, which is really
a little village, with it's own council, its own
"block worker" its own program Of health, recrea-
ton and civic endeavor, every man, woman and
child is important. If they fail to do their part
they can see Immediately the effect upon the life
of their little community. If they work in the
interests of their little community they can see
the good effects as well. And this, after all, is
the advantage which the village has over the city
People don't get lost in the village as they do in
the city. And no one can "get lost" in the Socia'
Unit.

the block workers in the Citizens Council should
find that there are many men out of work in the
various blocks, the business and labor groups
would be held responsible for the working out of
some plan to meet the problem. In this way,
everyone in the Social Unit district is enabled to
work for the whole community at the same time
that he is working for himself. Everyone is a
part of the big force for good in the community.
Slowly, one by one, each occupation is being Or
ganized and will have an executive in charge.
The committee made up of the executives of all
the occupationals groups is called the Occupational
Council of the Social Unit. The Occupational
Council and the Citizens Council acting together
are the means by which the community governs
itself.
Children Given Medical Attention.
When the doctors and nurses Of the Social Unit
district were organized they found that there
were many babies dying every year quite unneces-
sarily, either because little diseases which they
contracted were not taken in time, or because
their mothers were not properly educated in car
Ing for them. The doctors asked the Citizens
Council to go into their blocks and find out how
many children under six years Of age there were.
They found that there were ITO. The doctors
decided to give each of these children a com
plete medical examination, and the "block work.

out because the city is 700 large for every one to
know every one else, and many people live near
each other for years without knowing even each
others names.
The Social Unit organization has divided the
district of $4,000 people in which IL is working
into t~hirty-one small blocks Of about 500 people
each. The plan is to make each of these blocks
a tiny village where folks will come to know one
announcer ana to be interested in having their neigh
bors happy and coDtented. In a country village
there Is usually some one woman who is q sort of
village mother to whom folks go in times of trou-
Bile, who knows every one and is always busy
getting people to help those in need. Taking her
MS an example, the Social Unit organization has
found in each tiny block village a woman who
serves as q "block worker" who knows whom
anyone needs help Of any kind and sees that helm
is given by the right agency. This worker Is
CHOSEN by the people of her block and is maid
enough so that she will be enabled to emnlov
someone to do part Of her homework during the
times that she Is "mothering" her block. Tho
~thirty-one block workers, together, form what Is
called the Citizens Council. The work of tbls
Citizens Council is to learn what the needs of
every part of the district are and to see that Mans
are worked out for meeting these needs. In do.
Ing this 1t uses the knowledge of the different
skilled groups In the community.
Use People With Expert knowledge.
In every community there are certain prouns
each Of which knows more about one pnrticuiar
thing than any other group. For example. the
doctors know more about the prevention Of dis
ease than anyone else, the teachers know more
about educating children, the plumbers about
plumbing, the business men about business, ana
so on.
The Social Unit has organized people with spe-
cial skill for the good Of the community as a
whole. The doctors are the board Of health Of
the district; the employers and trade unIonists
are the industrial experts; the social workers are
the department Of public welfare; the teachers
the board of education, and so on. When the
Citizens Council, or the block representa-
tives' discover a health need in the district It
puts the problem up to the doctor group. From
that time on the doctors ure responsible for find
ing a solution for the problem and for submitting
the plan they devise to the Citizens Council. II
