Turn your school into a national center for community life and learning. This practical guide shows how rural communities can organize and sustain meaningful center-based work for years to come.
In The Community Center, L. J. Hanifan outlines a clear vision: local leadership, strong school involvement, and broad collaboration turn everyday classrooms into hubs of social life, culture, and civic engagement. The book explains why community-centered activity matters now and how it can be organized to fit local conditions. It’s designed for superintendents, supervisors, teachers, and other leaders who want a practical plan with real-world applications.
Three sections frame the value and method: foundational principles; the scope of community center activities; and ready-to-use programs for meetings and country life. The author emphasizes that improvements in rural life begin with the people themselves and that schools can serve as central, unifying spaces for communities.
Ideal for readers seeking a clear, actionable framework to strengthen rural education and local leadership through organized community activities.
Ideal for readers of educators, community organizers, and policy makers who want concrete guidance on building cooperative, school-centered programs.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the powerful potential of the rural schoolhouse as a community center, a concept that was revitalized in the early 20th century and brought into sharp focus during the First World War. The author, drawing on the rich history of community gatherings in early America, argues that the schoolhouse can be a hub for social, educational, and civic life in rural areas. The book examines the vital role of leadership in achieving this vision, considering the contributions of various institutions like the church, the home, and agricultural extension services. A key focus is the teacher's unique position as a community leader, empowered to foster collaboration and improvement in rural communities. This book offers practical guidance and insights, drawing on the experiences of successful community leaders to demonstrate how rural schools can become engines of progress and revitalization. By illuminating the untapped potential of the rural schoolhouse, the author provides a compelling blueprint for strengthening rural communities and enriching the lives of its residents.
