Best Answer

She did not make or build the house. She did acquire it and have it adapted to settlement-house welfare needs. the House was up before she bought into it, so to speak. The settlement house, the Hull House, purpose was to combat the slums by helping immigrants integrate into American society. Through the Hull House, immigrants were provided with social and educational opportunities in the surrounding neighborhood. Volunteers at the Hull House also held classes in literature, history, domestic activities, art, and other subjects. They offered lectures on current issues and held concerts free for everyone.

What contributions did Jane Addams make to juvenile justice?

Jane Addams wrote a whole book on the subject of juvenile delinquency -- it is called The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets. The University of Illinois Press publishes a paperback edition. But she would not have described the book's topic as "juvenile delinquency." As the book's title shows, she believed in youth's passion, optimism, curiosity and adventuresomeness, and blamed the streets of the city for not offering more positive ways for youth to be youth. Her settlement house, Hull House, in Chicago,did offer those positive ways -- clubs and classes of every kind, ways to make new friends, and to find mentors.Louise W. Knight, author of Citizen: Jane Addams and the Struggle for Democracy (University of Chicago Press, 2005) and Jane Addams: Spirit in Action (Norton, publication date August 30, 2010).

What are some famous Jane Addams quotes?

Here are some that I found useful, and I like. ; ) • Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt. • Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself. • I do not believe that women are better than men. We have not wrecked railroads, nor corrupted legislature, nor done many unholy things that men have done; but then we must remember that we have not had the chance. • National events determine our ideals, as much as our ideals determine national events. • America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live. • Unless our conception of patriotism is progressive, it cannot hope to embody the real affection and the real interest of the nation. • The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself.

How did most Americans feel about the arrival of immigrants into America?

It depends what time period we're talking about, but for the most part, Americans weren't very welcoming towards immigrants. They tended to get the worst jobs, worst housing, etc. Because of this, the immigrants would form a support system throughout their nationalities and help each other out. However, there were systems like the Hull House (created by Jane Addams) to help immigrants gain jobs, learn English, etc.
