'ase ana the only people who go unbefriende0
3re 'hose VINO rebuH kindness or who wear IL
out. But In the crowded city people get away
from this neighborllness, and seem to care moth
Ing about the folks around them. Babies die be-
cause the mothers do not know how to care for
them. Many people who have consumption and
other diseases live with small children around
them, exposing them to sickness. Many invalids
spend months at home, alone and unbefriended.
All this Is not because the people of the city are
not as kind hearted and as willing to be helpful,
hut because the city is too 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 10000 people In which II is working
into t~hirty-one small blocks of about 500 people
cnch. The plan Is to make each of these blocks
n tiny village where folks will come to know one
another and TO be interested in having their neigh
hors happy and coltented. In a country village
there Is usually some one woman who is n sort OF
Village mother to whom folks go In times of trou-
hle, who knows every one and is always busy
getting people to help those In need. Taking her
US nm example, the Social Unit organization has
FOUND in each tiny block village n woman who
serves us n "block worker" who knows when
anyone needs help OF any kind and sees that help
Is given by the right agency. This worker Is
chosen by the people of her block and Is paid
enough so that she will be enabled to employ
someone To do part of her houscwork during the
lines that she is "mothering' her block. The
h~lrty-onc block workers, together. form what Is
called the Citizens Council The work of this
tftiaens' Council Is To learn what the needs OF
every part of the district are and to see that plans
IRE worked out for meeting these needs. In do
.ng this Il uses the knowledge of the different
skilled groups In the community.
Use People With Expert knowledge.
In every community there are certain groups
Nch of which knows more about oae particular
hing than any other group. For example, the
loctors know more about the prevention of dis.
ease than anyone else, the teachers know more
lhout educating children, the plumbers about
plumbing, the business men about business, and
SO ON.
The Social Unit has organized people with spe-
ial skin 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
he department OF public welfare; the teachers
The board Of education, aud so ON. When the
Citizens Council, or the 'block representa-
tives' discover a health need in the district IL
puts the problem up to the doctor group. From
that time on the DOCTORS, are responsible for find
ing a solution for the problem and for submitting
he plan they devise TO the Citizens Council. If

Secret of a Successful Community.
The men and women who are backing the Soclat
Unit experimentation the Cincinnati district Is
really a laboratory for social experimentation
and hundreds of men and women of vision are
Interested in it-belieye that the secret of a sue
ccSsful community organization lies in making
everyone feel that he is important. 1t Is hard to
feel that You are important, and that what YOU
do counts for good or i'll, in a city of half a mil
lion or more. But in a city block, which Is really
a little village, with its own council, its own
'block worker" its own program Of health, recren-
ton and civic endeavOr, every man, woman and
child is important. II 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 MS well. And this, after all, is
the advantage which the village has over the city.
People don't get lost in the village rs they do i'm
the city. And no one can get lost in the Social
Unit.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1919-02-28

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 communit 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
gnnized and will have an executive in charge.
The committee made up of the executives of all
the occupational 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 immunity 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-
sariIy, 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 1,110. The doctors
decided to give each Of these children n com
plete medical examination, and the block work

The "Social Unit" newest experiment in APP

can be restored to cites, and in a section of Gin
rlnnntl Is attempting to prove that they can. so
successful has this experiment been, in the few
months during which II has been tried, that peo-
