Modest Report

Exploring the Small Community, by Otto G. Hoiberg. 199 pp. Lincoln, Nebraska: University of Nebraska Press. $3.50

This work book for those who practice as well as preach community rehabilitation comes from a man who knows both his little towns and his social theory. As coordinator of community service at the University of Nebraska and the son of an immigrant Danish pastor who at different times operated two successful folk schools, Dr. Hoiberg brings to his book a cultural experience as well as a directional outlook and conviction of great importance. He is no fanatic, but he does hold stubbornly that our little country places are a part of the great American pattern that must not be allowed to die.
