A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil

By JANE ADDAMS

Cloth, 12mo, $1.00. Standard Library, $.50

Jane Addams has an understanding way of looking at things. Hers is not to censure or to blame, but only to help humanity. That is the purpose of her new book in which she takes up a question that civilization will always have with it, the greatest social evil of our times. Miss Addams’s treatment is at all times frank, and there can be no doubt but that such a plain statement of the conditions and the source of the trouble, coupled with significant suggestions as to how these conditions may be bettered, will do much to bring about that happier state which, in Miss Addams’s opinion, is forecasted by the “new conscience.”

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

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.

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.

By IDA M. TARBELL

Cloth, 12mo, $1.00

What are the activities and responsibilities of the average normal woman? This is the question which Miss Tarbell considers in this book. Despite the change in the outward habits, conduct, points of view, and ways of doing things, which marks the present age, Miss Tarbell maintains that certain great currents of life still persist. To consider that these are lost in the new world of machines and systems is, she holds, only to study the surface. The relation to society and to the future of the old and common pursuits of the woman is her theme, which at once makes the volume appear as a sort of supplement to her previous work, “The Business of Being a Woman.”

“A book of hopeful, cheerful thoughts ... a very human book, worthy of careful reading.”—Literary Digest.

“A striking exposition of present-day woman’s ways.”—Philadelphia North American.
