J)SBSSSSSSSMSSSasBBBSSaSSa.B 4 AN TUB advantages of village life ho restored In the city? Can city dwellers have the friendly and neighborly feeling which marks the relations between men and women in tho small town, where no one can bo 111, or out of work, without receiving neighborly assistance? Can wo find for the cities some thing to tnko the place of the town meeting, where till the population gathers together to discuss common problems and government is interpreted in terms of community service, instead of being housed in sonic remote city hnll? The "Social Unit," newest experiment In ap plied democracy, believes that these advantages can be restored to citea, and in a section of Cin cinnati Is attempting to prove that they can. So successful has this experiment been, In the few months during which It has been tried, that peo ple all over the country are beginning to watch It, and to talk about It, and influential men and women are even saying that tho "Social Unit" has tlie biggest reconstruction program to offer Amerlcn which has yet been formulated. Tho little, Cincinnati district, which Is trying to re establish the sort of nelghborlincss which exists In small towns, has tho most distinguished of visitors, men on reconstruction missions from the European countries, medical organizers and so cial service workers. For Instance. Dr. Keno Sand of the University of Brussels was recently sent to this country to study methods for re habilitating and reorganizing Belgium. Ho vis ited Cincinnati and said of tho Soclnl Unit: "I shall carry back to my people no more construc tive suggestions than those which I have got ten from the Social'' Unit" This Social Unit district of Cincinnati, has acquired fame be cause tho people are trying to be helpful each to tho other and have gono to work to effect an organization which would ' mnke it possible for every one to be of service. Nelghborllness in the Village. In the small villoge It Is Impossible for any one to be sick or be reaved or out of em ployment without tho folks of the yillago knowing about It and wanting to do some thing about it. A death or a contagious disease affects the entire vil lage and the only people who go unbefrleniled are those who rebuff kindliness or who wear it out. But In tho crowded city peoplo get away from this nelghborllness, and seem to care noth ing about tho folks nround them. Babies die be cause the mothers do not know how to caro for them. Many peoplo who have consumption and other diseases livo with small children around them, exposing them to sickness. Many invalids spend months at home, nlono and unbefrlended. All this Is not because the peoplo of the city are not as kind hearted and as willing to bo helpful, but because the city is too large for every one to know every one else, and mnny peoplo lve near each other for years without knowing even each other's names. Tho Social Unit organization has divided the district of 15,000 people in which It Is working into thlrty-ono small blocks of about 500 people each. Tho plan Is to mako each of these blocks a tiny vlllago where folks will come to know one another and to be Interested in having their neigh bors happy and contented. In a country vlllago thero Is usually somo one woman who is n sort of village mother to whom folks go in times of trou ble, who knows every one and Is always busy getting people to help those In need. Taking her as an example, tho Social Unit organization has found In each tiny block village a woman who serves ns a "block worker," who knows when anyone needs help of any kind and sees that help Is given by tho right agency. This worker Is chosen by the peoplo of her block and Is paid enough 60 that she will be enabled to employ someone to do part of her housework during the times that she Is "mothorlng" her block. Tho thlrty-ono block workers, together, form what Is cnlled tho Citizens' Council. The work of this Citizens' Council Is to learn what tho needs of every part of the district nru and to see that plans nre worked out for meeting these needs. In do ing this it uses the knowledge of the different skilled groups In tho community. Use People With Expert Knowledge. In every community there are certain groups, each of which knows more about one particular thing than any other group. For example, the doctors know more about the prevention of dis ease than anyone else, the teachers know more about educating children, tho plumbers about plumbing, the business men about business', and so on. The Social Unit has organized people with spe cial skill for the good of tho community ns a whole. The doctors oro the hoard of health of tho district; tho employers and trade unionists are the Industrial experts; tho soclui workers nre tho department of public welfare; the teacher tho bourd of education, nnd so on. When the Citizens' Council, or tho "block representa tives" discover n henlth need In tho district it puts the problem up to the doctor group. From that time on tho doctors are responsible for find ing n solution for tho problem mid for submitting the plan they devNo to the Citizens' Council. If 'MRhH lll?CiwC''- ill. - II 1 Tll-f III I. ! A' DMU ftKFS the block workers In tho Citizens' Council should llnd that there nre many men out of work In the various blocks, the business and labor groups would be hold responsible for the working out pf some plnn to meet the problem. In this way. everyone In tlib Social Unit district Is ennbk'd to woik for the whole community at tho same time (hat be Is working for himself. Everyone Is a part of the big force for good In tho community. Slowly, one by one, ench occupation Is being or ganized nnd will hnvo an executive In charge. The committee made up of tho executives of all I lie occupational groups Is called the Occupational Council of the Soclnl Unit. The Occupational Council nnd the Citizens' Council acting together nre the means by which the community governs itself. Children Given Medical Attentfon. When the doctors and nurses of the Soclnl Unit district Were organized they found tliii, thero wore mnny babies dying every year quite unneces sarily, either' because little diseases which they contrnctt-'il were not tnken In time, or because their mothers wero not properly educated In car ing for them. Tho doctors asked the Citizens' Council to go into their blocks nnd find out how many children under six years of age there wore. They found that there wre 1,170. The doctors decided to give each of these children n com plete medical examination, nnd tho "block work ers" went back to their blocks nnd told tho moth ers nnd fathers that the district physicians would examlno their children nnd tell them If there was anything wrong and how It could be remedied. One thousand and forty-three of the children, were brought to tho district health station. Hundreds of defects wero discovered and remedied. Clashes were organized for the mothers; tho district nurses went Into tho homes to follow up the chil dren who had been examined and see that tho par ents were giving them the right care. When the epidemic of Influenza broke out, every one knew Unit somewhere In his or her block, within calling distance, was a womnn who would exert the utmost effort to see that those who were ill got hell). The doctors and nurses wero mobl Hzed through the district hendquurters, so that cases could be cared for in the shortest possible time. There was hardly n case In the district wlileh wns not reported, and when the epidemic was over It wns found that the death rate In this district had been a third lower thnt In the rest of tho city. Census Is Taken, A 'little while ago the peoplo of this district decided that they could not work out their prob lems as they should un less they knew more about each other, so they decided to take n census of themselves nnd find out who they were and where they lived and what countries they came from, how many rooms they lived In mid what they did for Halv ing. "Uplift" organiza tions have taken census of this kind before, but probably never beforo has a district voted through Its block rep resentatives nnd Its skilled groups to make a study of Its own life and present that study to the world. The peo ple were willing to make It, because they were doing It themselves, and because they knew that If they found housing conditions bad they hud an organization which could remedy them. If they found children and young people without opportunities for healthful, happy play they could see that such a condition did not continue. Secret of a Successful Community. The men and women who are hacking the Social Unit experiment for tho Cincinnati district Is really n laboratory for 'social experimentation, nnd hundreds of men and women of vision are Interested In It believe that thn secret of a sue cessful community organization lies In making evcrynno feel that be Is Important. It Is hard to feel that you uio Important, and Unit what you do counts for good or III, In a city of half a mil lion or more. But In a city block, which Is ically :i little village, with Its own council. Us own "block worker," Its own program of henlth, recrea tion and civic endeavor, every man, woman and child Is Important. If they fall to do their part they can see Immediately tho effect upon the life of their little community. If they work In the Interests of their little community they can ree the good effects as well. And this, after ail. Is the advantage which the village has over the city People don't get lost In the village ns (hoy do In the city. And no one can '"get lost" In the Social Unit.
