The Quicksands of Wider Use: A Discussion of Two Extremes in Community-Center Administration

Author
Clarence Arthur Perry
Ebook
Publication Date
11 pages

About This Book

This booklet presents a critique of two approaches to community center administration. In the first approach, a community center is run exclusively by the government. In the second approach, a community center is run exclusively by a private association. The author concludes that before cities can determine the best administrative method, more reliable data must be gathered.
