Group and Community Organization

The year witnessed extension of activities, but few new forms or new organizations. Studies were chiefly devoted to self-appraisal and to questioning of aims and purposes. Modern pedagogical methods received more extensive application in the group organizing agencies, and "character building" was questioned in the light of recent studies. City and regional planning has become very extensive and is the dominant note in the provision of many municipal facilities, especially parks and play-grounds. Studies showed developments in a few specific fields: a growth in the number and bureaucracy of community centers; need of economic opportunities and recreational activities for young people in rural communities; beneficial results of prohibition reported by the settlements; continued growth in community chests but less rapid growth of amounts raised
