Mr. Ra- vage, together with a committee of well-known social workers, is busy investigating the possibilities in the plan of the Social Unit Organization for organizing neighborhoods to look after their own problems. He believes it offers the foreign-born citizen a chance to learn by doing. Under the Social Unit plan every person over eighteen has an oppor- tunity to participate in the govern- ment of his own city block.

The foreign-born Amer- ican is given an opportunity to tackle the problems at his own doorstep be- fore he is pushed out into the com- plex_social and political life of his municipality. A planning body, made up of the elected representatives of business, trade and professional groups, helps 10 form neighborhood programs. Mr. Ravage will discuss the merits of the plan from the standpoint of its bearing on the Americanization prob- lem at a conference to be held late in October, at which the future of the social unit will be discussed and a program for its extension will be agreed upon.
