Hull-House became the country’s most influential social settlement, expanding to include thirteen buildings, where Addams and her circle of social reformers provided kindergarten and day care facilities; an employment bureau; an art gallery; libraries; English and citizenship courses; and theater, music, and art classes. They championed immigrant rights and improvements to public health. They worked to end child labor, instituted juvenile justice, supported unions, built playgrounds, and advocated for public housing.Over many decades, Hull-House upheld free speech, dissent, and civil rights.

The "mine" and "thine" of wedded folk Is often quite confusing And sometimes when they use the "ours" It sounds almost amusing But you and I may well defy Both married folk and single To do as well as we have done The "mine" and "thine" to mingle.

Jane Addams called President Wilson’s “preparedness campaign” a scam to bolster the wealth of the wealthy.

“A bigger military," she said, “would benefit only those conservative businessmen who longed for the permanent militarization of society.”
