  • The Problem with Classroom Use of Upton Sinclair's the Jungle
    The Problem with Classroom Use of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle Louise Carroll Wade There is no doubt that The Jungle helped shape American political history. Sinclair wrote it to call attention to the plight of Chicago packinghouse workers who had just lost a strike against the Beef Trust. The novel appeared in February 1906, was shrewdly promoted by both author and publisher, and quickly became a best seller. Its socialist message, however, was lost in the uproar over the relatively brief but nauseatingly graphic descriptions of packinghouse "crimes" and "swindles."1 The public's visceral reaction led Senator Albert Beveridge of Indiana to call for more extensive federal regulation of meat packing and forced Congress to pay attention to pending legislation that would set government standards for food and beverages. President Theodore Roosevelt sent two sets of investigators to Chicago and played a major role in securing congressional approval of Beveridge's measure. When the President signed this Meat Inspec­ tion Act and also the Food and Drugs Act in June, he graciously acknowledged Beveridge's help but said nothing about the famous novel or its author.2 Teachers of American history and American studies have been much kinder to Sinclair. Most consider him a muckraker because the public^responded so decisively to his accounts of rats scurrying over the meat and going into the hoppers or workers falling into vats and becoming part of Durham's lard. Many embrace The Jungle as a reasonably trustworthy source of information on urban immigrant industrial life at the turn of the century.

  • Jane Addams, a Member of Chicago AAUW
    Chicago Branch AAUW Celebrates the Life of Our Illustrious Member Jane Addams From THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS (1889 – 1939) by Janet Miller Prepared for the AAUW Chicago Branch Centennial October, 1889 In 1892, the Branch had over 100 members, ranking in size behind only Boston and Philadelphia. At the December 1892 meeting, Bertha Honoré Palmer spoke on the Columbian Exposition and the Executive Committee agreed to aid in “scientific research work” and assist with guides for the Exposition, for which it received a diploma and a medal of appreciation. Along with other women’s organizations, the Branch exhibited materials at the Exposition. At the same meeting the question of supporting a Hull House resident was raised. In January 1893, the Branch voted to support a Hull House fellow, with the selection to be made by Jane Addams, who was a Branch member and a Branch Committee [Chair]. Illinois born Julia Lathrop, a close associate of Addams, was selected. Julia Lathrop is best known for her local, state and national reform of hospitals, schools and mental institutions and her work with juveniles and immigrants in Chicago. The Branch did much to aid her early work and the work of other members of the Hull House group. In December 1893, Florence Kelley, also a Hull House resident and chief inspector of factories in Illinois, spoke on The Formation of a Purchaser’s League to Protect Women and Children. An “earnest discussion” followed Kelley’s presentation and “the formation of such a league was urged by all.” The minutes continue: It was suggested by members that a committee should be appointed from the A.C.A and that this committee with other committees appointed should correspond with the large stores and ascertain where their goods are made.

EDITH ABBOTT (1876-1957) Abbott was the first woman dean of a graduate school in an American university and, simultaneously, the first dean of the first graduate school of social work in the nation. Her leading role in social work overshadowed her deep roots in sociology, in which she was a major scholar of her day. She was a prolific author (Marks 1958) and specialized in the study of women's rights and wages. Her life was dedicated to the eradication of social inequality facing blacks, immi­ grants, people in poverty, and laborers. Abbott championed the use of statistical data at the University of Chicago during an era when this activity was considered "women's work" in sociology.

    Learning through Living Together: The Educational Philosophy of Jane Addams Kiersten Nieuwejaar Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 ©2015 Kiersten Nieuwejaar All rights reserved ABSTRACT Learning through Living Together: The Educational Philosophy of Jane Addams Kiersten Nieuwejaar This dissertation examines the educational philosophy of Jane Addams, through her written work as well as her work in the Chicago settlement, Hull House. Addams’ critique of schools and universities will be discussed, as well as the ways in which she positions Hull House as an educational space outside of normative education. This dissertation will also focus on the importance that Addams places on the educational relationship as a means for learning, and the social knowledge that results from this relationship, as they help to shape and advance society. Finally, the dissertation will look at the ways Addams’ educational philosophy can inform technological communities in the 21st century in order to foster the kinds of educational relationships and social knowledge that we can use to improve our current society.

    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 22 (2011) How the Other Half Was Made: Perceptions of Poverty in Progressive Era Chicago Kotaro NAKANO* INTRODUCTION: INVENTING THE “OTHER HALF” AND THE DISCOVERY OF POVERTY Jacob Riis’s 1890 book, How the Other Half Lives, was the manifesto of the discovery of poverty. It expressed the arrival of a new perception of pov- erty that was not only a personal moral issue but also a social problem that middle-class Americans should concern themselves with. The opening sen- tences of this infl uential book read: “Long ago it was said that ‘one half of the world does not know how the other half lives.’ . There came a time when the discomfort and crowding below were so great, and the consequent upheavals so violent, that it was no longer an easy thing to do, and then the upper half fell to inquiring what was the matter.”1 These powerful words re- vealed two important attitudes toward poverty. The fi rst was the tendency to treat poverty as a social vice that was preventable by adequate public re- forms. The second was the emerging ethos of separating the “lower” people from healthful civil society. Calling the poor “the other half” was a great leap from Bible-based attitudes that proclaimed: “The poor ye have always with you” (Matthew 26:11). Importantly, Riis was not the only observer who lamented the bifurcation of American society. Hull House’s founder, Jane Addams, critically wrote in 1892, “[There is] a continual ignoring of the starvation struggle which makes up the life of at least half the race.
