Excerpts From Twenty Years At Hull-house By Jane Addams
Excerpts from Twenty Years at Hullhouse by Jane Addams Jane Addams (1860-1935)was one of the first generation of American women to attend college.
http://www.meetingground.org/loavfish/lf700/addams.htm

Extractions: Jane Addams (1860-1935) was one of the first generation of American women to attend college. After graduation, unmarried, she struggled to find a career and a purpose. Finally in London she discovered Toynbee Hall and the cause to which she would devote her life: the settlement house. In 1889 she and a college friend moved into the slums of Chicago. They called their dilapidated old mansion Hull House. Soon a nationwide settlement house movement sprang up. Jane Addams spoke and wrote widely about settlement work. Her vivid stories made the plight of the poor heartbreakingly immediate. She prodded America to respond to the terrible ills of industrial development: child labor, infant mortality, urban crowding and unsanitary conditions, unsafe workplaces, juvenile delinquency, unemployment, and poverty wages. Her pacifism during World War I caused Jane Addams's reputation to suffer. In the hysterical intolerance of the "Red Scare" she was branded "the most dangerous woman in America" by self-appointed superpatriots. But her accomplishments could not be denied. Calmer times brought renewed recognition, capped by the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. It was also during this winter that I became permanently impressed with the kindness of the poor to each other; the woman who lives upstairs will willingly share her breakfast with the family below because she knows they "are hard up"; the man who boarded with them last winter will give a month's rent because he knows the father of the family is out of work; the baker across the street who is fast being pushed to the wall by his downtown competitors, will send across three loaves of stale bread because he has seen the children looking longingly into his window and suspects they are hungry....

Z Jane Addams (1860-1935) From Jan. 1998 NASW NEWS The life and work of Jane Addams (1860-1935), founder of Hull House and Nobel Peace Prize winner, demonstrated the ethics and values that became the basis of the 100-year-old social work profession. Hull House residents also shared an approach to social service that differed from their contemporaries who assisted the poor under the auspices of the Charity Organization Society (COS), according to a March 1990 Social Work article by Donald Brieland. But Addams and her colleagues believed receiving aid needn’t be a degrading experience. "We have all accepted bread from someone, at least until we were fourteen," she once remarked. An expert practical reformer, Addams lobbied Illinois lawmakers for legislation to benefit the poor while serving as neighborhood sanitation officer. She also challenged powerful and often corrupt ward bosses, wrote Allen F. Davis in American Heroes: The Life and Legend of Jane Addams.

Tolerance is h a r m o n y in difference." ~ Jane Addams With an passion for tolerance and service to others, pioneer social reformer Jane Addams (1860-1935) was born on this day in Cedarville, Illinois. Her father was a prominent businessman and state senator. "The excellent becomes the permanent," she once said. As a child, her father gave her a nickel for every book she read and understood. She became a voracious reader and by 15 has read all the books in her home library. "When I grow up," young Jane told her father, "I want to build a beautiful house, then I will invite all the poor people to come and stay with me." And that's exactly what she did. Along with friend Ellen Starr, Addams established Hull House in 1889, an innovative community center located in one of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods. What they envisioned as a "center for a higher civic and social life," became the best educational and social service organization of its time. "Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself," said Addams, an example of hope and courage.

Return to the full article Jane Addams, 18601935 Jane Addamspioneer social worker, feminist, and internationalistrepresented the peace movement in the United States. She was awarded the peace prize in 1931. In 1889, Addams opened Hull House, an institution dedicated to improving the lives of Chicagos working poor. Two thousand people a week used its services, which included kindergarten and adult classes, a public kitchen, swimming pool, circulating library, employment bureau, gym-nasium, art studio, and music school. Addams was a member of the Board of Education, president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections and held various other civic posts. In 1910, she received the first honorary doctoral degree awarded to a woman by Yale University. Aspiring to rid the world of war, Addams spoke, taught, and published on peace in America and abroad, accepting in 1915 the chair of the Womans Peace Party and later that year the presidency of the International Congress of Women, which met at The Hague. It included 1,100 women from 11 countries, whose mission was to formulate a plan for ending World War I. The congress called for a scientific commission of experts from neutral countries, appointed by their governments, to act as a perpetual court of mediation, continually offering proposals to the belligerents without assigning war guilt. Addams headed a delegation from the congress to approach the foreign ministers of each of the belligerents to offer the womens proposal for ending the war. Despite their efforts, the war continued for three more years.

She graduated from Rockford Female Seminary in 1881, among the first students to take a course of study equivalent to that of men at other institutions. Her father, whom she admired tremendously, died that same year, 1881. Her attempt to attend Woman's Medical College in Pennsylvania ended in failure, probably due to her ill health and her chronic back pain. She toured Europe 1883-5 and then lived in Baltimore 1885-7, but did not figure out what she wanted to do with her education and her skills.

Extractions: Belleville Township High School East in Belleville, Illinois I. Upbringing, Education, and Professional Life (Laura) Jane Addams was born in Cedarville, Illinois as the eighth of nine children. Her parents, John and Sarah, moved to Illinois from Pennsylvania. Her father was a prosperous miller and also served sixteen years in the U.S. Senate. Later an officer in the Civil War, he also boasted a friendship with one of this country's greatest leaders, Abraham Lincoln. Jane Addams was born with a congenital spinal defect, which prevented her from being very active as a child. At the age of two, her mother died and her father remarried five years later. Her stepmother, Anna H. Haldeman, enrolled Addams in the Rockford (Illinois) Female Seminary at the age of seventeen. After graduating as valedictorian, she attended the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1881. Unfortunately, she was forced to drop out a few months later due to poor health. At the age of twenty-seven, Addams began her second tour of Europe with her friend Ellen Gates Starr. During her travels, she visited a settlement house in London's Industrial District known as Toynbee Hall, which catered to the needs of the local poor. Enthralled at the concept of such an establishment, she decided to begin such a house in the United States.

Jane Addams, Florence Kelley, Dr. Alice Hamilton, Julia Lathrop, Ellen Gates Starr, Sophonisba Breckinridge and Grace and Edith Abbott were among the residents. They provided services for the neighborhood, such as kindergarten and daycare facilities for children of working mothers, an employment bureau, an art gallery, libraries and music and art classes. Among the projects that they launched were the Immigrant's Protective League, The Juvenile Protective Association, the first juvenile court in the nation and a Juvenile Psychopathic Clinic (later called the Institute for Juvenile Research).
