Purpose of Mott and Manley
PATTi
Visit to Washington, D.C.
The relationship between Mr. Charles Stewart Mott and Mr.
Frank Manley is one of the most unique in American educational
history. Mr. Mott, an automotive pioneer, was concerned about
the problem of juvenile delinquency in Flint, Michigan during the
1930's. Mr. Manley, Director of Physical Education, Flint Public
Schools, during that period, suggested using school facilities
afternoons, evenings, weekends and during vacation periods. The
schools were to become the center of the community's social, cultural,
academic and educational life.
Since the "birth" of community education in the 1930's, it has
spread to approximately eight hundred communities throughout the
United States and in several foreign countries as well. The Com-
munity Schools Act, a part of the Educational Amendments of 1975,
will provide funding for community education throughout the United
States.
The Fall National Community Education Workshop will be held
in Washington, D.C. September 21-24, 1975. Co-sponsored by the
U.S. Office of Education, D.C. Public Schools, the National Community
Education Association and other prominent groups, the workshop is
expected to draw approximately five hundred participants.
It seems particularly appropriate to honor these two great
American ladies at this workshop. Both have made major contributions
not only to community education but to civic affairs at the state
and national levels as well. And both have been interested and
involved in the development of the D.C. Community School Program.

Overview of Charles Stewart Mott Foundation
The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation was founded in 1926 by Mr. Charles
Stewart Mott, an early automotive pioneer who served as president of the
Foundation until his death in 1973. The assets of the Foundation approximate
$350,000,000.00 and it ranked as the tenth largest foundation in 1974.
Through its grants, the Mott Foundation seeks to demonstrate the
contribution of private philanthropy to a fundamental principle - the value
of a pluralistic approach to freedom of choice in search for truth and to
equality in the fulfillment of human needs.
The purpose of the Mott Foundation is to identify and demonstrate
principles which, in application, strengthen and enrich the quality of living
of individuals and their community. Learning how men most effectively
live together or making community a practical reality is one of the fundamental
needs of mankind.
The Foundation looks upon values as the growing force determining
individual identity and relationship with the community; and value, therefore,
determines how community functions.
The Foundation believes in the following principles:
1)
Opportunity for the individual
2)
Partnership with the community
3)
Effective function of Community Systems
4)
Leadership as the mobilizer
