This booklet discusses how social centers promote reform movements. It notes that social centers provide patriotic education of immigrants through public ceremonies held for their naturalization, civic and health education, the promotion of baby welfare, the elevation of political discussions, and the dignification of voting through the maintenance of balloting booths. The booklet concludes with a list of foundation pamphlets on the topic of the social center.
