CITY DWELLER
"Social Unit" Experiment in Cincin
nati Has Been So Successful That
It Mau Be Generally Adopted.
J)SBSSSSSSSMSSSasBBBSSaSSa.B

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

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.
