Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Settlement Horizon: A National Estimate The writers, who began this study at the suggestion of a representative group of fellow-workers in different parts of the country, have to express their deep appreciation of ready and thorough aid received from nearly all the American settlement houses. Many head residents have given us the fullest value of personal reminiscence and judgment. A large store of significant private data, in addition to every sort of printed matter, has been placed in our hands. Burdensome questionnaires, and a great variety of special inquiries, have been carefully answered. The visits which it has been our privilege to make to not less than four hundred of the five hundred settlements in the United States have kept us continuously in a rare atmosphere of loyalty to settlement aims, while in each instance providing vital information and suggestion in a field of effort qualified so largely by individual vision and power, whether among veterans or recruits. In connection with these visits, frequent opportunity of conference was afforded with men and women who possess that decisive acquaintance with the settlement which comes to its sagacious neighbors. For the past decade, as joint secretaries of the National Federation of Settlements, we have had the opportunity of arranging for and responsibly participating in its annual meetings and of editing its reports; and have thus enjoyed close association with those giving expression, from year to year, to the most recent developments of specific experience and the most timely precipitants of conviction and purpose. Part of the official duties of the enterprise has been to keep in unbroken communication with staff and board members of neighborhood agencies throughout the United States and in many foreign countries. One of us has at different times visited the original as well as the more recent English establishments, and has had the privilege of seeing something of the new embodiments of settlement motive that are springing up at various points on the continent of Europe and in the Orient.

The people are mostly Russian Jews; they, and their homes and yards, having all the characteristics of those found in New York. Seventy-five per cent of those who come to the settlement are German; others Irish, I talian, Syrian, Jewish, Scotch, French, Polish, English, and Swedish.

Saloons flourish on every hand; stores and business places are open seven days each week, and many forms of evil are rampant. Children are sent to work when so young that their labor exhausts body, mind, and nerve. Girls in stores or manufactories drift toward the theatre, dance hall, saloon parlor, and similar public resorts."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide in the Wilderness: Or the History of the First Settlements in the Western Counties of New York, With Useful Instructions to Future Settlers The views of the author of the Guide on the wisdom of selling in fee, instead of leasing in fee, have been proved sound, by the collapse of the attempt to create in this State a system of land proprietorship based on perpetual leases binding the ten-ants to the payment of perpetual rent. This course was followed on many of the great estates in New York and resulted in endless litigation and the anti-rent war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Emigrant's Directory and Guide: To Obtain Lands and Effect a Settlement in the Canadas The importance of the British settlements in North America as connected with the trade of the United King doms, may be estimated from the fact ascertained by the Custom-house returns, that every man, woman and child in these colonies, on an average, makes use of forty dollars worth Of British goods annually; whereas, if the thousands who have emigrated from these countries remained at home, they would not, on an average, consume one-third Of that amount; therefore, upon this ground alone, emigration is Of considerable advantage to the mother country, and we most cordially approve of the motto from Napoleon, prefixed to the Backwoodsman.

This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive Symonds, and we together examined the patients, sampled the climate and other conditions, and argued with Unger and Ruedi. Then for the second time came Hope; more solid Hope. Given a fairly early case, and three years, and recovery was in the offing. And so we went on cheerfully with Davos. But Davos was not for every one; nor was every case an early 'one. Then came the discovery that lower altitudes would do if certain conditions were obtained; and so arose the great sanatorium movement. But slowly we found that patients could not spend their lives in sanatoriums; and one day on making my way up to one of them in England, I met on the way patient after patient, slouching along, bored to death with themselves and with each other; and even worse in morale than in body. Better discipline and better notions of thera peutics mended some of that; still I could not forget those listless saunterers, and it became evident to some of us, however unwillingly, that Hope was drooping again. The sanatorium was doing a great educative work no doubt; but at the end of its four or six months - what then? To send the patient away with recommendations about light jobs, and a regime, was almost a mockery or quite. What about the wage, and the family to be supported? The next lesson was brought home to me by a visit with other commissioners to certain cities, concerning some such problems. Before me now I see a gaunt hollow-eyed man, coughing, and leaning against the wall as he tried to talk to us, saying that his mates when he came out of the sanatorium - good fellows as they were - had bought him a milk that he might creep round, and earn a bit. The brave wife, shawl on head and mill apron on, had just come from the factory, and apologised for the dirty house - as well she might. The poor thing was working all day at the factory to keep the wolf from the door. All being dragged down together into the pit! What is the value of a good house, or a clean house, if no wages! What is there for the children? And what is to stop the infection! Who then would have the imagination, the initiative, the business capacity, to lift this burden, like lifting a world?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Place-Names of Gloucestershire: A Handbook Place-names record faithfully enough to us, not only the settlements formed by our forerunners belonging to ancient races (the possessors and the places possessed), in the land we live in, but they tell us not a little as to what were their actual demands upon these; what were their labours, their homely callings, where were fought their battles, where were heaped their dikes and defences, and, finally, their impressive burial-mounds. Of some few, however, such as certain river-names, it may be said that these only glimmer to us in an uncertain, often tanta lizing, way, through the deep night of pre-history, like light from some of the remoter stars, the spectra of which are too faint to give any certain results.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Settlements and Their Outlook: An Account of the First International Conference of Settlements, Toynbee Hall, London, July 1922 The nature of such a task demanded that it should be carried through by one person. The distance between the countries represented at the Conference made it impossible to consult the various members of the Continuation Committee during the process or before the result was printed. For all blemishes the compiler must therefore be held entirely responsible. But it is hoped that despite all its defects the present account of the Conference will serve as a happy reminder of memorable days and a prophetic token of still greater days to come.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Americans in Process: A Settlement Study The study of North and West End life which makes up the present volume had its beginning in an investigation of South End conditions, the results of which were published four years ago in the book "The City Wilderness." It was found that much valuable material sought out for the South End study was equally available for the North and West Ends. The direct advantage of such a presentment has been apparent in the South End. The task of each agency for local improvement has been made more distinct. By laying out the large exhaustive measure of the local community's possibilities and needs, a stronger union of forces has been secured. It was felt that a similar study of the North and West Ends would be of service to the scheme of social improvement in those districts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The City Wilderness: A Settlement Study by Residents and Associates of the South End House Andover, now president of Dartmouth College, sent out a circular in which he proposed that there should be established in one of the more crowded districts of Boston a house designed to stand for the single idea of resident study and work. The singleness of this idea has ever since been the guiding principle of the settlement which came of that initial effort. The present volume is simply a larger development succeeding a series of bulletins which have presented from year to year the hard-won gains of actual experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imparting all the warmth and fragrance of an old-fashioned, turn-of-the-century kitchen, The Settlement Cook Book was originally devised as a cooking and homemaking primer for newly arrived immigrants. Filled with hundreds of recipes for good eating, this back-to-basics book is also good reading. A blend of hardy, old-fashioned dishes and simple recipes that will fit today's demanding lifestyles, the text covers everything from making roast chicken (with chestnut dressing) to the best way to dust a room. Clearly detailed, easy-to-read directions tell how to create such tasty fare as griddle cakes, shrimp Creole, and mulligatawny soup; cheese fondue, oyster a la poulette, and other Continental specialties; as well as ethnic foods such as gefilte fish and matzo ball soup. Sections on preserving, canning, and pickling are interspersed with quaint "lessons" on how to sterilize milk, build a fire, and discern fresh eggs from stale ones. A delightful culinary education from the days before convection ovens and "dream kitchens," The Settlement Cook Book is a treasury of Americana, a delightful sampling of cultural history that will enchant lovers of old cookbooks and well-prepared foods.
