Child Labor in City Streets
Clopper, Edward Nicholas
Child labor
"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 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.
