Bailey of North- western was the speaker at the Fvans- ton Chamber of Commerce's regular membership luncheon Monday at the North Shore hotel. Prof. Bailey spoke on "The Essentials of Community De- velopment," outlining the methods used to determine the rating of a commu- nity. According to the professor, sixteen principal aspects of community life are first surveyed before a diagnosis as to the "health" of the community is made. These principal points, in the order of importance, are: illiteracy, school at- tendance, infant death rate, general death rate, wage rates, school prop- erty, teachers' salaries, child-labor, library circulation, public property, cost of living, paving, fire loss, number of pupils to each teacher, church member- ship, parks and percentage of popula- tion married.
