IV. ANALYSIS OF FINDINGS
The America Houses have made an impressive record in establishing
themselves as respected institutions in German communities and in
attracting a significant segment of the population to participate in
their programs and services.
Within the framework of the conditions and objectives which
governed their activities in the past, they have been an unequivocal
success.
An equally positive conclusion is that the present objectives of
the Public Affairs program demand basic and imaginative modification
of the programing and operation of the Amrica Houses. The studies
and analyses of the America Houses disclosed thinking and conditions
which justify confidence that these modifications can be attained.
The conclusions and recommendAtions which follow are presented for
the purpose of pin-pointing the fundamental changes required if the
rica Houses are to make productive use of the resources and good
will at their disposal.
