PROGRESS IN COMMUNITY COÖRDINATION.

The article discusses about the interest and support of national and local organizations for community coordination. This coordination is revealed in the policies, publications, and activities of social agencies, schools, parents' associations, service clubs, churches, women's clubs, youth organizations, civic clubs, and governmental branches. Basic questions of initiation, organization, support, leadership, and activities of coordination are still unanswered in the development and literature of the field, but conferences, research, and experimentation necessary to answer these questions already have been started. The surveys of the National Probation Association focused attention on the number and variety of community coordination projects. The efforts of councils of social agencies to encompass private, public, lay, and professional organizations and agencies have accelerated the movement. The widespread extension and participation in Federal and local adult forums have stimulated communities to experiment with coordinating projects.
