The new state : $b Group organization the solution of popular government
Follett, Mary Parker
Democracy; Political participation; Social psychology; State, The
A Chicago minister said the other day that the south side of Chicago was
the only part of the city where interest in civic problems and community
welfare could be aroused, and this he said was because of the South
Park’s work in field houses, clubrooms and gymnasiums for the last ten
or twelve years.
When the chairman of the Agricultural Council of Defense of Virginia
asked a citizen of a certain county what he thought the prospects were
of being able to rouse the people in his county in regard to an
increased food production, the prompt reply was, “On the north side of
the county we shall have no trouble because we have several Community
Leagues there, but on the south side it will be a hard job.”
The School or Community Centre is the real continuation school of
America, the true university of true democracy.
