NOTES ON THE ANNUAL COMMUNITY CONFERENCE, A COMMUNITY CATHEDRAL, AND OTHER THINGS.

The article focuses on the annual meeting of the National Community Center Association. It was brought out by directors of school extension departments that forums in public schools are growing in number and there seems to be a quieter spirit prevailing and, while certain neighbors are scandalized occasionally. The directors of the forums have found a way of introducing almost any subject without bringing about adverse first reactions. At the session of the section on community devoted to principles of organization the organizers refused to claim for neighborhood comprehensive organization the virtues of efficient organization that it was common to hear a few years ago. Understanding, adjustment of view points, education in certain community standards were described as the chief values of coordinating community organizations. The community cathedral would be all comprehending and would include within its walls chapels of every religious creed, all worshipping according to their own beliefs.
