Community Buildings
Probably no other equivalent ex
penditure of time and money could
do so much for the average rural or
small-town community as does the
effort and cost involved in the build
ing and maintenance of a community
center. Just as a pleasant and
cheerful home centers the life of the
family, so a simple, usable commu
nity building welds and focalizes the
interests, the needs and the activi
ties of the community.
NEEDS AND USES
It is desirabe that people should
provide—in large measure at least—
their own amusements. It is not
well that people seeking entertain
ment, or relief from routine, should
find it always in motion-picture the
aters or other commercialized enter
tainment centers. Who can say how
much native talent has remained
undeveloped because young people,
instead of putting on their own plays
or building up their own dance or
chestras or operatic groups, have
been content to go here or there just
to see others perform? The local
band, the local chorus, the local the
ater group can, and under suitable
conditions will, serve as a developer
of local talent, as a means of keep
ing local money at home, and as a
source of local pride and enjoyment.
TYPES OF BUILDING
The purpose for which the build
ing will probably be used should be
carefully considered when the type
of building to be erected is being
decided.
Certainly, the building
should be planned to cater to the
needs of both the older and the
younger members of the communi
ty; it should provide for the presen
tation of local entertainments such
as plays, pageants, Christmas and
Thanksgiving celebrations, etc.; it
should serve for the meeting of the
grange or the farmers’ club, for the
4-H groups, for the Ladies aid. for
local institutes, and for home dem
onstration meetings; likewise, for
political discussion groups and other
community gatherings of local inter
est. The minimum essentials for a
building which is to be devoted to
these diverse uses will be a large
main room to be used as an auditori
um, banquet hall, or dance hall, as
occasion may require; a stage with
adequate dressing rooms; and a
kitchen where food may be pre
pared; the whole to be supplied with
good lighting, and with suitable
heating and plumbing facilities. To
these minimum requirements may
be added, if funds permit, small
rooms for the use of study groups,
game rooms, and a nursery.
LOCATING THE BUILDING
If the community is one which
centers around a small town, it will
be desirable to locate the communi
ty building in the town, since lights
and plumbing will be more readily
attainable there than elsewhere. If,
however, the building is to serve the
needs of a distinctly rural neighbor
hood it can well be located near the
local school, church, creamery, or
other common gathering place,
where the task of caring for it can
be most easily done.
FURNISHING THE BUILDING
As a rule, by the time the build
ing is constructed, funds are low,
and the problem of furnishing the
rooms properly becomes a major
one. Let it be said, therefore, that
it is better to furnish sparsely, and
wait until money is available for
more equipment, rather than to buy
things which are cheap and shoddy.
Perhaps the best plan of all is for
the patrons of the project to make
their own furnishings, through va
rious club projects, or else to give
a series of etrtertainments of one
sort and another to raise necessary
funds. Simplicity, usefulness, and
cheerfulness should be the major ob
jectives sought in the furnishing of
the building.
MAINTENANCE
The cost of the building may vary
from an infinitesimal one. consist
ing chiefly of donated local materi
als and labor, to as much as the
community cares to invest. Some
of the most useful and successful
ones have been built with initial
funds of less than $100. supplement
ed, of course, by large community
enthusiasm and co-operative labor.
A very successful method of raising
the necessary money is the sale of
stock—in very small certificates,
preferably, so that ownership and
interest may be widespread. Costs
of maintenance are usually met by
the levying of local taxes. A man
ager. and service committee, elect
ed yearly, transact all necessary
business.

THE HARE AND THE RABBIT
To most people there is no differ
ence between the hare and the rab
bit, though the fact is that they are
two separate groups. The hares do
not make burrows, but live in a sort
of nest; they are long-eared and
long-legged and run in long leaps,
their hind legs being much longer
than their fore legs. The rabbits
have short ears and short legs; they
make use of burrows for dwelling
places; they are not capable of any
extended burst of speed Both hares
and rabbits are rodents.
