That the community secretary. who
is the executive Of a public-schools
| community center, frequently plays
an important part in the happiness of
the members Of her local community
Is well known by all persons who are
in touch with the community center
work. An active. wide-awake execu-
ltive learns the neighborhood needs
and the desires of her community.
finds the means for promoting the
| activities and encourages groups or
clubs until the leaders are strong
! enough to carry on" without her
immediate personal supervision. She
can promote happiness by tactfully
bringing together congenial people.
She does her work quietly and eff
ciently--if she is the ideal executive
That the ideal executive does exist
| Is shown by a letter that recently
| reached the community-center office
1t says. The part that Mrs. Driscoll
played in my so1ourn in Washington
did everything toward making the
winter there both profitable and
happy for me. The Thomson com
inspiration. was the direct means of
my meeting and making the friends
had there. as well as giving me the
advantage OF the classes which |
thoroughly enjoyed. She certainly
has the right ideals Of community
responsibility and she is doing ii
great work"
There are other secretaries as cff-
cient and hard-working. Frequently
! words of encouragement are made
rand are appreciated by those who are
doing the strenuous work that Is
| made necessary by the interest Of
| the people In the social. educational
and civic work Of the community center
department.
