ance ttom the New York h~eadquar-
tiers. They have budgets. are york
ing on definite programs, and have
some one in charge of the community
recreation all the year round.
A large part Of the success of
community play depends on the
workers in charge. The community
secretary or the specialist in some
phase of recreation is "a new and
rather composite type. He or she
is somewhat like the settlement
worker. settlement work is COM
munity work in a limited field,
whereas the community secretary is
la municipal cmplOye who serves
everybody. The community secre-
tary needs perhaps q greater
amount Of pep and s~Ociability than
the more serious social welfare
worker. He must also have an
abundance Of initiative. executive
ability. and versatility, Unless the
local community service is COM
plctely organized with pageant and
athletic directors, a song leader,
and other specialists. the community
secretary must organize and direct
such activities, as well as ehape-
rome dances, arrange classes in
sewing. swimming, or whatever the
community center wants to learn
and find teachers FOR them. And
finally. he must be on hand at all
times TO see TO things"
Men and women with these di-
verse qualifications are not so
scarce as might he supposed. The
war canteens and huts developed
social experts by the hundred. And
besides there some girls who would
ordinarily have become school
teachers who are looking towards
community service as an alternative
for the person with executive abil-
ity. who likes dealing with people,
and wants to do something useful.
Training workers for community
service is a new field which the New
York headquarters of the Commun-
ity Service is entering. A short
course has just been given here in
Washington. Another is to be
given in Chicago in May, and later
there viii be a session in San Fran
cisco. These curses do not attempt
to give complete training for direct
ing a community service organiza-
tion. The school held in Washing
ton lasted only two weeks and had
as students only men and women
who were already engaged in com
munity work or who had experience
in directing playground work or
some other r%ecreational feature.
When there is skilful supervision
at a community center and the right
chord Is struck to interest the peo-
pie, remarkable results are being
recorded. Merely as a matter of in
terest, we inquired of Mr.. James T..
Rogers, who conducted the training
school here, which communities
have a model organization. He re-
piled that no community is spend
int enough, or can spend enough.
on recreation to meet all the needs
that exist.

BRAzIL'S LEADING
STATESMAN QUITS
Thirty Years in Senate, Bar
bosa Was Staunch Friend
Of United States.

BUENOS AIRES, March 12.-The
United States has lost one of its
staunchest champions in South
America by the resignation of Sem
ator Ruy Barbosa from the Bra
lillian congress. His determinaton
to retire from public life was an
nounced in dispatches from Rio de
Janeiro this morning.
DIR. Barbosa has been a senator
from the state Of Bahia for thirty
years, and he has become known
throughout South America as Bra
zils leading statesman. No great
step has been taken on international
policy without consulting him. He
has done much to strengthen the
bonds between the United States
and Brazil. and his hearty support
Of Pan-Americanism has caused him
to be looked upon in the other
South American republics as the
statesman who has done more than
anyone else to bring the maios
Latin-Amerfcan republics to their
present close understanding.
DR.. Barbosa's resignation note
was calm and dignined. After thirty
years membership in the senate" he
wrote. II find myself a stranger
therein and unable to make head
way with the principles for which
I have always contended. There
fore am retiring to private life,
and ] leave my bench to a more
useful person"

Financial support for the For

organized to enable American con-
Germs to sell goods abroad on long
term credit to help business here
was urged by f.. L. Stock and H.
H. Mckee. at Friday nights meeting
of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association.
This Finance Corporation" said
Mckee, 'is the link that is going
to Join producers in this country

gather up from the United states
a vast store of capital credit so as
to enable consumers in other parts
Of the world to get them and give
them a reasonably long time in
which to make the raw materials
into products and sell them to pay
US back"
A plea for Washington business
men to put the corporation "over
the top" was made by Stock. who
said American business must be
modified to tight for international
trade the same as the young men
OF the country were mobilized to
protect our honor in war" He
said:
IF America Is to maintain the
enviable place she gained in inter-
national commerce during the war
We must all contribute our mite to
achieve that end. One way to gain
that goal is to support this new
organization which was formed for
the purpose of enabling American
concerns to sell goods to the people
of other countries on long term
credit. and thus keep our factories
and mines and furnaces and rail-
roads and ships busy and our wage
earners employed"
