The instrumentalities that pres
emily exist to further the COM
munity program of cultural and
communal service are generally
well known. The pattern that has
been developing throughout the
years has been by and large a
chaotic one in which multiplicity
of agencies have tended to arise
to meet one or another of apparent
needs. It would be useless and
futile to compile and present an
authentic and accurate inventory
of the organization Irrational, re-
gional and locaD that are engaged
in cultural and recreational work.
It might be well, however, to
identify them in groups.

mature as a community we will
increasingly recognize the truth Of

the sheer weight of our RESPONSE

of variety Of cultural and recre-

whether we can look to a reduction
in number and in the variations

suggests that our task of coordin-

BLUEPRINT For American Jewish Culture

Center, which am convinced mas
made an important contribution 10
the totality of Jewish community
life, represents nothing more or
less than an expression OF a neea
which has grown up over the years
to provide facilities, professional
assistance, program aid and slim
ulation and coordination for this
nlethora of movements which have
so much in common and yet so
much that is divisive.
Statistics are not available TO
me generally to support my con-
c1usions as to the extent OF the
investment in dollars and man.
power in all of these many actlv-
tiles. However, some indication
might be CLEANED of the size ana
character of the problem with
which we cope here by a brief ex-
animation of the statistics that
pertain to the Jewish Center itself.
In 1915, 288 centers were affiliated
with the National Jewish Welfare
Board. Of this number, 243 own
ed facilities valued in pre-1946
dollars in excess of $40,OOO,OOO.
24O had full time professional
staffs. All of them accounted for
a membership of APT, 900 of which
all but 100000 were 26 years of
age or younger. In the plan stage
today, are buildings that would
aggregate an additional invest
ment of $25,OOO,OOO, scattered
from coast to coast in large COM
munities and in small.
This then is indicative of a sit
uatiOn that might be summarized
briefly as follows:
The Jews of America are con-
cerned with their cultural and
recreational needs. They have ex-
pressed this concern through affil-
iation with a wide variety of or
CARNATIONS both national and local
having motivations that are (a)
general in character; (b) specific
ally attuned to a given organiza-
ton and its program; (c) COM
bination of (a) and (b), and (d)
locally nurtured and stimulated
for one or another specific reason.
The Jews of America have also
recognized in some measure that
the recreational and cultural needs
of our people will not be met unless
there can be provided facilities,
trained personnel and program. It
might also be added that there is
beginning to be developed a clear
indication that we must stimulate
the tendency toward the coordin-
alton of this multiplicity of &C
tivities which seem to find their
expression in large and small COM
munities alike.
