CARDS FOR INVESTIGATIONS

The cards used in the inquiries into the newsboy situations of Philadelphia and Milwaukee are reproduced here, in the hope that they will be of use in furnishing suggestions to any organization or individual who contemplates making such an investigation elsewhere. It will be observed that these cards are practically confined to questions affecting newsboys only, and would have to be considerably amplified, if intended for use in a general study of street work by children.

NOTABLE WORKS BY MISS JANE ADDAMS

A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil

Cloth, 12mo, $1.00 net; by mail, $1.10

It is almost unnecessary to call attention to the importance of a new book by Jane Addams. As a servant of the public good Miss Addams, both through her work at Hull-House and through her writings, has made for herself a name all over the world. She does not view things from a standpoint of destructive criticism, but rather from that of constructive, her aim being always to better the conditions in the particular field which she is considering. In "A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil," she considers sanely and frankly questions which civilized society has always had confronting it and in all probability always will. Something of her attitude of mind and of her purpose in writing this book as well as a glimpse of the character of the volume may be seen from the following paragraph taken from her preface:

"'A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil' was written, not from the point of view of the expert, but because of my own need for a counter-knowledge to a bewildering mass of information which came to me through the Juvenile Protective Association of Chicago. The reports which its twenty field officers daily brought to its main office adjoining Hull-House became to me a revelation of the dangers incident to city conditions and of the allurements which are designedly placed around many young girls in order to draw them into an evil life."

* * * * *

"Miss Addams's volume is painful reading, but we heartily wish that it might be read and pondered by every man and woman who to-day, in smug complacency, treat with indifference and contempt the great struggle for social purity."--The Nation.

"As an educational weapon, incalculably valuable. A torch with which every thinking citizen should be armed for a crusade against the dark-covered evil at which it is aimed."--The Continent.

The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets

12mo, cloth, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.35

A protest against the practice of every large city of turning over to commercialism practically all the provisions for public recreation, leaving it possible for private greed to starve or demoralize the nature of youth.

* * * * *

"Few persons in this country are better qualified to speak with authority on any subject connected with the betterment of the poor than is Jane Addams."--New York Herald.

"The book should be in the hands of every preacher and laborer for humanity. I wish that parents might make it a text-book."--Rev. MADISON C. PETER in The New Orleans Daily News.

"It is brimming full of the mother sentiment of love and yearning, and also shows such sanity, such breadth and tolerance of mind, and such philosophic penetration into the inner meanings of outward phenomena as to make it a book which no one who cares seriously about its subject can afford to miss."--New York Times.

Newer Ideals of Peace

12mo, cloth, leather back, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.35

"A clean and consistent setting forth of the utility of labor as against the waste of war, and an exposition of the alteration of standards that must ensue when labor and the spirit of militarism are relegated to their right places in the minds of men.... Back of it lies illimitable sympathy, immeasurable pity, a spirit as free as that of St. Francis, a sense of social order and fitness that Marcus Aurelius might have found similar to his own."--Chicago Tribune.

The editor of Collier's writes: "To us it seems the most comprehensive talk yet given about how to help humanity in America to-day."

"It is given to but few people to have the rare combination of power of insight and of interpretation possessed by Miss Addams. The present book shows the same fresh virile thought, and the happy expression which has characterized her work.... There is nothing of namby-pamby sentimentalism in Miss Addams's idea of the peace movement. The volume is most inspiring and deserves wide recognition."--Annals of the American Academy.

"No brief summary can do justice to Miss Addams's grasp of the facts, her insight into their meaning, her incisive estimate of the strength and weakness alike of practical politicians and spasmodic reformers, her sensible suggestions as to woman's place in our municipal housekeeping, her buoyant yet practical optimism."--Examiner.

Democracy and Social Ethics

Half leather, ix + 281 pages, 12mo, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.35

"The result of actual experience in hand-to-hand contact with social problems.... No more truthful description, for example, of the 'boss' as he thrives to-day in our great cities has ever been written than is contained in Miss Addams's chapter on 'Political Reform.' ... The same thing may be said of the book in regard to the presentation of social and economic facts."--Review of Reviews.

"The book is startling, stimulating, and intelligent."--Philadelphia Ledger.

Twenty Years at Hull-House

Ill., dec. cloth, 8vo, $2.50 net; by mail, $2.68

Jane Addams's work at Hull-House is known throughout the civilized world. In the present volume she tells of her endeavors and of their success--of the beginning of Hull-House, of its growth and its present influence. For every one at all interested in the improvement of our cities, in the moral education of those who are forced to spend much of their time on the streets or in cheap places of amusement--"Twenty Years at Hull-House" is a volume of more than ordinary interest and value.

* * * * *

"The personality of Jane Addams is one of the finest achievements of that idea of democracy, service, and freedom for which America means to stand before the world."--N. Y. Times.

"The story of the beginnings of this remarkable undertaking (Hull-House), the problems that were faced and conquered in the early days, the unsuspected resources that were developed among the crowded city population of foreign birth, and the efforts continuously made for the betterment of labor legislation in the State of Illinois, are all set forth with simplicity and directness. On the whole it is a wonderful record of accomplishment, full of suggestion to social reformers the world over."--Review of Reviews.

"Who reads this book lightly misses a great opportunity."--Bellman.

"The story is one of singular interest and has a strange affinity with the stories of other great moral and spiritual leaders of humanity."--Bookman.

On City Government The American City

By DELOS F. WILCOX, Ph.D.

"In the 'American City' Dr. Wilcox ... has written a book that every thoughtful citizen should read. The problems of the street, the tenement, public utilities, civic education, the three deadly vices, municipal revenue and municipal debt, with all their related and subsidiary problems, are clearly and fully considered."--Pittsburgh Gazette.

On Industrial Legislation Some Ethical Gains through Legislation

By MRS. FLORENCE KELLEY

The book has grown out of the author's experience as Chief Inspector of Factories in Illinois from 1893 to 1897, as Secretary of the National Consumers' League from 1899 till now, and chiefly as a resident at Hull-House, and later at the Nurses' Settlement, New York.

Cloth, leather back, 341 pages, 12mo, $1.25 net. Citizens' Library

On Charitable Effort How to Help

By MARY CONYNGTON, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, Washington

Not only is the professional charity worker often in need of advice as to the best methods of investigation, administration, etc., but the non-professional worker, with his zeal unrestrained by special training, is even more emphatically in need of such guidance as this sound and competent book gives.
