Democracy and Social Ethics
BY JANE ADDAMS
_Cloth, 12mo, leather back, $1.25_
“Its pages are remarkably--we were about to say refreshingly--free
from the customary academic limitations ...; in fact, are 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._
“Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the efficiency and inspiration
afforded by these essays.... The book is startling, stimulating, and
intelligent.”
--_Philadelphia Ledger._
Twenty Years at Hull-House
BY JANE ADDAMS
_New edition, ill., dec. cloth, 8vo, $1.50_
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” will be a volume of more than ordinary interest
and value.
The Spirit of Youth in the City Streets
BY JANE ADDAMS
_12mo, cloth, $1.25. Standard Library, $.50_
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.

The Business of Being a Woman
BY IDA M. TARBELL
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.25_
What is the business of being a woman? Is it something incompatible
with the free and joyous development of one’s talents? Is there no
place in it for economic independence? Has it no essential relation
to the world’s movements? Is it an episode which drains the forces
and leaves a dreary wreck behind? Is it something that cannot be
organized into a profession of dignity and opportunity for service
and for happiness? As will be seen from the above, Miss Tarbell’s
topic is a broad one, permitting her to discuss the political, social,
and economic issues of to-day as they affect woman. Suffrage, Woman,
and the Household, The Home as an Educational Center, the Homeless
Daughter, Friendless Youth and the Irresponsible Woman--these but
suggest some of the lines of Miss Tarbell’s thought. Though they may
at first seem disconnected, she has made out of them, because of their
bearing on all of her sex, a powerful unified narrative.
