I TURE HAS PICTURE OF POT
T ATPH P vivrxr A QTTiiwr
The community gymnasium at Pot
latch, Idaho, is included in a list of.
community buildings appearing in a
recent publication of the United
States department of agriculture en
titled "Rural Community Buildings in
the United States." The data given
are designed to be helpful to towns
!a nd rural districts interested in 0 r
ganizing their social activities and!
erecting a structure for housing the
same.
According to the bulletin, nearly
300 community houses have'been built
in the smaller cities and rural sec
tions of the United States. The ma-,
jority have been constructed sinqe (
1912. Of those studied by the govern
ment investigators, 83 were in the
open country, 201 were in places of
2,500 inhabitants or less, and 55 were,
in larger towns and cities. \
T1 if ** •
numker . of the f e P ro I ect ? were fin- |
I popular subscription, gen
orally through the formation of,
stoc k companies. Other buildings,
were the gifts of individuals or priv- |
a t e evoncerns and a few were erected!
with public funds and under the con-1
jtrol of local officials. The publica- j
tion contains many details regarding 1
jhow to organize, means of financing,!
and methods of management and,
maintenance. Dues, assessments,
rentals derived from uses on special ■
occasions, receipts from home-talent 1
entertainments and motion picture
shows, are among the sources of
revenue mentioned.
where the structures are owned by
sonTB community organizaC the
management is usually vested in a
board of trustees which, in turn, del
egates its authority to a secretary,
a physical director, a librarian, or
some other i ndividua i dose iy iden ti
fied with a community activity. Some
of the buildings listed cost as low as
|2,000, while others represent an in
vestment of $25,000 or $50,000. The j
investigators maintain that every |
community, whether its resources be .
large or small; would profit by a
community structure of the sort de

noon at 4 o'clock, for the purpose of
discussing the housing situation, with
particular reference to the University
of Idaho, Avas attended by about 25
business men. Dr. Lindley, president
'of the university, addressed the men,
explaining most forcibly the situa
tion. He was very frank, telling how
lack of housing facilities was hinder-1
ing further development of the col
lege in student growth. He said the
enrollment was now almost 1,000, and
the program outlined for this year,
through the extension force, would
without doubt make a very material.
increase for the coming year. He;
asked the citizens of Moscow to ex-,

need, which was a very pressing and,
rea i one .
