Their devMopment Is so recent nml they are so essentially an outgrowth of rural life and conditions that, until very recently, knowledge of them has been more or less fragmentary. It Is estimated tbjjt there are now several thousund special buildings servjng as community centers In Uu rural sections and smaller towns of the country. The amount of money Invested In these buildings varies according to the population and wealth of the community and the method of financing, and ranges from n few hundred dollars In sparsely settled communities, where considerable amounts of labor nud materials are often donated, to $oO,(XX In the small cities. "The methods of financing these buddings may, In a general way, bo divided into classes: those which are financed through individual subscriptions, those financed through club or society Inltinthe, those financed by local government, and those financed through community endeavor. The last Is by far the most numerous group, and under this plan money Is usually secured either by the sale of stock 4n a community organization or through the solicitation of general contributions. Both of these methods are often supplemented by the giving of entertainments of various kinds, the proceeds of which go Into the construction fund; and a part of( the amount required to pay the cost of construction Is often borrowed on the security of the building Itself, to be repaid later with money derived from dues, assessments, or rentals. Contributions of labor or materials as well as of cash, are often secured. Where funds are secured through the sale of stock, the Incorporated stock company of course owns or controls the building; and where funds are secured through general contributions the ownershlp and control rest with a permanent community organ zatlon formed for the puriose. The simplest of these buildings generally contain, first, an auditorium, the movable seats of which permit It to be transformed into a dining room, an athletic room, or a ball for dancing; second, a stage, with curtains and dressing rooms for theatricals; third, a kitchen, equipped with stove, utensils, dishes and cutlery. Often the assembly room Is on the first floor and the kitchen and a separate dining room In the basement. Farmers buildings frequently contain special economic enrooms for the use of , terprises. In the smaller towns, besides these rooms, there are often a library and reading room, a panic room, womens rest room, and rooms which serve as meeting places for various organizations. In the county seats and larger towns the buildings are often quite complete, having )esldes the usual rooms and office room, special rooms for banquets, a cafe, a gymnasium, Millard and bowling rooms, an agricultural exhibit ""room, and rooms for the county agricultural agent, the county home demonstration agent, secretary of the. commercial ylub and the visiting nurse.

The barn soon lecaine too small for these various activities. This brought to the front a question which had been under consideration for some lime the erection of- a community building.

The community grounds, two acres In extent, were put Into condition and the building reconstructed, entirely through voluntary effort. Some gave lumber, gome labor, some material, some equipment. All took part. The club realized the value of a pleasant approach and beautiful setting for their home. - Approaching roads were laid out. the grounds were leveled and drained, trees, both useful and ornamental. were planted, weeds were destroyed, and gravel walks were laid, leading In various directions. At the front of the house beds of fragrant flowers were planted. As an aid to tlielr future club work in experimental agriculture, the vacant vegetables and space In the rear was planted berries. In connection with this a well was dug title.-- . again. Catarrh has never yet been cured by these local applications.

Among the educational and recreational uses are lectures, moving pictures, night schools, entertainments, billiards, pool, bowling, table games, reading room, and library. The Matlnecock neighborhood house, Locust Valley, Long Island, New York, Is an excellent example of the wny In which community bulldtugs eonio Into existence and are managed. About eight years ago a boy came to the secretary of the Matlnecock Neighborhood association and asked him to start a boys' club, saying there was no place for the boys to go for a good time except to the saloons or to the neighboring town with Its questionable amusements. The secretary, who had but recently arrived, made a survey of the situation. He found that through economic changes, farming was gradually being given up and the section was becoming a residential one. The imputation was shiftlug, and neighborhood spirit and community recreation was at a low ebb. He found also that there was In the village a private unsupervised young mens athletic club which met In a blacksmiths shop. Being a man of vision, he determined to make this club a nucleus of a general system of supervised recreation for the village with a commuuKy house as a center. lie persuaded the athletic club to sign' a petition for the Neighborhood association to take them In as members on payment of the regular dues. $1 per year, and then to commission them as a recreation department to furnish recreation for the whole community. The association complied and appointed an executive committee, composed of two of Its directors and five young men. to have charge of the arrangements. Twenty-nin- e hors - wore appointed on committees in order to give them a share in the construct lvewdrk. Temporary quarters were secured In an old barn, .which was fitted up through general contributions. Includlng-- a graphophone. a piano, pool table, stoves, dishes, an Indoor baseball outfit, 1137 In cash, and subscriptions for many magazines. Boy scouts and a band were soon organized, and other organizations were formed. As a result. It was soon found that 148 young men were governing themselves, financing their own enterprise through various entertainments, and providing social opportunities and athletics for their fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters. At the. same time they were members of the Neighborhood association, with votes on all questions Ce ket ball. There are also a social room for pool, cards, and other games, which Is used for a general Informal meeting room; a committee room, two rooms for caretakers, two coat rooms, five baths, toilets, four bowling alleys, and beater and storage rooms. The basement also contains a kitchen. The house Is entirely through the earnings of the recreation department, the receipts from motion-pictur- e shows, entertainments, dances, card parties, pool tables, bowling alleys, basketball games, and the rental of the auditorium for lectures and concerts. An average of SCO people use the building weekly. Two problems faced the people of Woodstock, living in the open country, far from town or railway. In Shelby county, Tennessee.

Moreover, these farming people could not command funds sufficient for the erection of such a building. The second problem was what to do with their schoolhouse, abandoned through consolidation, the pupils being transferred several miles to the new building. The schoolhouse, old and dilapidated, bad been used as a gypsy camp, and the school authorities had offered It for sale for $200. Both problems were soon solved by the decision of the club to secure coutrol of the old building, and to reconstruct aud equip It as their social center home. The club had fixed as Its purpose the betterment of community life from the social, educational, and economic standpoint," and had planned an ambitious but practical program for Its accomplishment It had enrolled practically every person In the neighborhood over sixteen years of age, elected the usual officers, together with, a board of alx directors, who were given charge of the carrying out of the building plans, and appointed committees on sanitation, education, civic beautification, and recreation.
