Woodrow Wilson, Governor of New Jersey, Before the First National Conference on Civic and Social Center Development, at Madison, Wis;, October 25, 1911 Therefore, when you analyze some of our communities you will see just how necessary it is to get their parts to gether. Take some of our great cities for example. Do you not realize by common gossip even, the absolute dis connection of wnat we call their residential sections from the rest of the city? Isn't it singular that while human beings live all over a city, we pick out a part, a place where there are luxurious and well-appointed houses and call that the residential section? As if nobody else lived anywhere in that city. That is the place where the most disconnected part and in some instances the most useless part of the community lives. There men do not know their next-door neighbors; there men do not want to know their next-door neighbors; there is no bond of sympathy; there is no bond of knowledge or common acquaintance ship. I am not speaking of these things to impeach a class, for I know of no just way in which to impeach a class.
