100 Years of Professional Social Work Jane Addams "100 Years of Social Work" Portrayed by Elizabeth Hartley I am honored to open your commemorative celebration 100 years of professional social work. My name is Jane Addams. I am often called the "mother" of the social work profession. You know me. My life was a demonstration of the ethics and values that became the basis of this 100-year-old social work profession. My father, a state senator in Illinois, a Quaker and abolitionist, taught me what was right, just, and fair. I was educated in Philadelphia and Europe. In London, I visited Toynbee Hall, the first settlement house, and was inspired to bring this concept home to the United States. When Ellen Gates Star and I opened the doors to Hull-House we were determined to do things in a new and different way working to help people help themselves - preserving dignity. But Hull-House was more than clubs and classes. Ellen and I - and other Hull House residents, including Julia Lathrop, Florence Kelley, John Dewey, Alice Hamilton and Edith & Grace Abbott, "settled in" to the neighborhood - living among the people. We wanted to better understand the poor and wanted to change what we believed were gross and unjust differences in the opportunities between the rich - and the poor. Hull-House was a living room for the community, Hull-House worked, Hull-House inspired other settlements. And so the American Settlement House Movement was born.

Women's Rights on Trial Jane Addams American social worker Jane Addams was one of the first people in America who sought to improve the lives of these desperate poor. Introduction The Industrial Revolution took place in America in the years immediately following the Civil War. The boom of machines and manufacturing required a cheap and plentiful labor force around the same time millions of Europeans swarmed into American cities. By 1890, 80 percent of the people living in Chicago were immigrants or children of immigrants. Most cities, however, did not have the resources to handle such a rapid growth of people. Many immigrants were forced to settle in slums, living lives of poverty and hopelessness. Problems were only worsened by the fact that several different ethnic groups were huddled into one area. Jane Addams was one of the first people in America who sought to improve the lives of these desperate poor. In Chicago she founded a settlement house (community center) called Hull House. Her work toward social improvements in Chicago, coupled with the work of other reformers, marked the beginning of the Progressive movement in America. Reaching its height in the early twentieth century, this movement sought to overcome the often dehumanizing effects of rapid industrialization through a variety of political, economic, and social reforms. Later in her life, Addams focused her energies on international problems, becoming a dedicated leader in the peace movement.

The Founder of Social Work Jane Addams The Mother of Social Work (Laura) Jane Addams (September 6, 1860-May 21, 1935) won worldwide recognition in the first third of the twentieth century as a pioneer social worker in America, as a feminist, and as an internationalist. She was born in Cedarville, Illinois, the eighth of nine children. In 1881 Jane Addams was graduated from the Rockford Female Seminary, the valedictorian of a class of seventeen, but was granted the bachelor's degree only after the school became accredited the next year as Rockford College for Women. At the age of twenty-seven, during a second tour to Europe with her friend Ellen G. Starr, she visited a settlement house, Toynbee Hall, in London's East End. This visit helped to finalize the idea then current in her mind, that of opening a similar house in an underprivileged area of Chicago. In 1889 she and Miss Starr leased a large home built by Charles Hull at the corner of Halsted and Polk Streets. The purpose of the Hull House was to provide a center for a higher civic and social life; to institute and maintain educational and philanthropic enterprises and to investigate and improve the conditions in the industrial districts of Chicago. The two friends moved in. Miss Addams and Miss Starr made speeches about the needs of the neighborhood, raised money, convinced young women of well-to-do families to help, took care of children, nursed the sick, listened to outpourings from troubled people. By its second year of existence, Hull-House was host to two thousand people every week. There were kindergarten classes in the morning, club meetings for older children in the afternoon, and for adults in the evening more clubs or courses in what became virtually a night school. The first facility added to Hull-House was an art gallery, the second a public kitchen; then came a coffee house, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, a cooperative boarding club for girls, a book bindery, an art studio, a music school, a drama group, a circulating library, an employment bureau, a labor museum.

Jane Addams (Text adapted by Julie Johnson from Twenty Years At Hull-House by Jane Addams and the foreword written by Henry Steele Commager) Democracy and Social Ethics Newer Ideals of Peace Twenty Years at Hull-House The Second Twenty Years at Hull-House The Excellent Becomes the Permanent (1932). In 1931 Miss Addams was co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and characteristically enough she donated the prize money to the Women's Peace Party. She died in Chicago on May 21, 1935. The Beginnings At nearby Rockford Seminary, too it was not yet a college the air was heavy with a sense of responsibility moral, cultural, and even social. Here the girls, most of them deeply religious, encountered a strong missionary tradition, and here too a compelling sense of the obligation of women to prove themselves in what was still a man's world. It was all very Victorian: the passion for Culture, the passion for Good Works. There was a brief effort to study medicine still a bit daring in the eighties and after that a long visit to Europe. She was sent abroad to drink up the culture of the Old World, like any Daisy Miller (Henry James was a fellow passenger), but she would have none of it. She wrote later, and bitterly, of "the sweet dessert in the morning, and the assumption that the sheltered, educated girl has nothing to do with the bitter poverty and the social maladjustment which is all about her, and which, after all, cannot be concealed, for it breaks through poetry and literature in a burning tide which overwhelms her; it peers at her in the form of the heavy-laden market women and underpaid street laborers, gibing her with a sense of her own uselessness."

Based on the university settlements begun in England by Samuel Barnett, Hull House served as a community center for the neighborhood poor and later as a center for social reform activities. It was important in Chicago civic affairs and had an influence on the settlement movement throughout the country. An active reformer throughout her career, Jane Addams was a leader in the woman's suffrage and pacifist (see pacifism ) movements. She was the recipient (jointly with Nicholas Murray Butler) of the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize.

JANE ADDAMS "Civilization is a method of living and an attitude of equal respect for all people." Jane Addams was born in Cedarville, Illinois on September 6, 1860. She graduated from Rockford College in 1882, and founded the world famous social settlement Hull-House on Chicago's Near West Side in 1889. From there, where she lived and worked until her death in 1935, Jane Addams built her reputation as the country's most prominent woman through her writing, her settlement work, and her international efforts for world peace. She and the other residents of the settlement 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. By 1900 Hull House activities had broadened to include the Jane Club (a cooperative residence for working women), the first Little Theater in America, a Labor Museum and a meeting place for trade union groups. Jane Addams wrote on topics related to Hull-House activities, producing
