She taught home economics in the grade schools of Appleton, Wisconsin, from 1916 to 1920 and taught in that town’s high school from 1920 to 1926. In 1929 she became a resident at Chicago’s Hull-House where she taught cooking classes. In that same year, she became associated with Hull-House’s Bowen Country Club in its summer program of bringing city children into the country for camp. Here she served as dietitian and housekeeper, supervising meal preparation for two to three hundred children and adults. From 1931 to 1934 she spent her "school year" months as a case worker for the Illinois Relief Service at Peoria. In 1935 she worked for the same department in Pekin, Illinois, and that summer did her last service with the Bowen Country Club. Miss Young became the Superintendent of the Peoria Children’s Home in 1936 and remained in that post until 1944. She then returned to her native Neenah, where she taught home economics in the Kimberly Junior High School from 1946 until 1962. She enjoyed a lengthy retirement.

    Extractions: 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.

Tolerance is h a r m o n y in difference." ~ Jane Addams With an passion for tolerance and service to others, pioneer social reformer Jane Addams (1860-1935) was born on this day in Cedarville, Illinois. Her father was a prominent businessman and state senator. "The excellent becomes the permanent," she once said. As a child, her father gave her a nickel for every book she read and understood. She became a voracious reader and by 15 has read all the books in her home library. "When I grow up," young Jane told her father, "I want to build a beautiful house, then I will invite all the poor people to come and stay with me." And that's exactly what she did. Along with friend Ellen Starr, Addams established Hull House in 1889, an innovative community center located in one of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods. What they envisioned as a "center for a higher civic and social life," became the best educational and social service organization of its time. "Social advance depends as much upon the process through which it is secured as upon the result itself," said Addams, an example of hope and courage.

58. Excerpts From Twenty Years At Hull-house By Jane Addams
    Excerpts from Twenty Years at Hullhouse by Jane Addams Jane Addams (1860-1935)was one of the first generation of American women to attend college.  
    http://www.meetingground.org/loavfish/lf700/addams.htm
    
    Extractions: Jane Addams (1860-1935) was one of the first generation of American women to attend college. After graduation, unmarried, she struggled to find a career and a purpose. Finally in London she discovered Toynbee Hall and the cause to which she would devote her life: the settlement house. In 1889 she and a college friend moved into the slums of Chicago. They called their dilapidated old mansion Hull House. Soon a nationwide settlement house movement sprang up. Jane Addams spoke and wrote widely about settlement work. Her vivid stories made the plight of the poor heartbreakingly immediate. She prodded America to respond to the terrible ills of industrial development: child labor, infant mortality, urban crowding and unsanitary conditions, unsafe workplaces, juvenile delinquency, unemployment, and poverty wages. Her pacifism during World War I caused Jane Addams's reputation to suffer. In the hysterical intolerance of the "Red Scare" she was branded "the most dangerous woman in America" by self-appointed superpatriots. But her accomplishments could not be denied. Calmer times brought renewed recognition, capped by the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. It was also during this winter that I became permanently impressed with the kindness of the poor to each other; the woman who lives upstairs will willingly share her breakfast with the family below because she knows they "are hard up"; the man who boarded with them last winter will give a month's rent because he knows the father of the family is out of work; the baker across the street who is fast being pushed to the wall by his downtown competitors, will send across three loaves of stale bread because he has seen the children looking longingly into his window and suspects they are hungry....
