Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman's Work in Municipalities The plan of this volume demands a few words of explanation. It was originally intended to be a collection of readings illustrating the varied phases of women's work in municipalities, but an examination of the available literature failed to reveal succinct, up-to-date summaries of the several important branches of that work. It was therefore necessary to search the records of hundreds of organizations and societies in order to obtain a just view of the extent and character of the labors of women for civic improvement of all kinds. Accordingly the volume as finally drafted combines both readings and original surveys. The method followed has been dominated by a fourfold purpose: (1) to give something like an adequate notion of the extent and variety of women's interests and activities in cities and towns without attempting a statistical summary or evaluation; (2) to indicate, in their own words, the spirit in which women have approached some of their most important problems; (3) to show to women already at work and those just becoming interested in civic matters, the interrelation of each particular effort with larger social problems; and (4) to reflect the general tendencies of modern social work as they appear under the guidance of men and women alike. The task has been difficult owing to the immense amount of material which months of research accumulated and the limitations of space which made necessary the compression of important narrative and descriptive accounts within a narrow compass.

This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern and the Municipal Franchise for Women We are accustomed to say, even in regard tofederal affairs, that a sense of national stability is of even more fundamental 1mportance than national defense. We add to that, and this applies to the city government as well, that any thing which. Diminishes the elector's love of country or interest in its preservation is a menace to the nation; and in the past great stress has been laid upon ownership and that sense of responsibility which property entails. But in the modern city the renters outnumber the landlords a thousand fold, and the ownership of the home becomes less frequent as we leave the farm and the village and proceed to the great centers. As the modern city dweller looks about for other forms of investment as a substitute for real estate, so we must appeal to those interests which are more general, more primordial, and much more trustworthy, in our effort to substitute in the modern city the sense of stability for the spirit of defense. If one could connect these'old maternal anxieties, which are really the basis of family and tribal life, with the'candidates who are seeking offices, it would never 'be necessary to scold cit-her men or women for remaining at home on election day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman's Part in Government Woman's fundamental part in government is to do efficiently what her position requires of her as individual member of society: mother, sister, wage-earner, wage-payer, purchaser. No woman has the right to be a problem or a problem creator, no matter how usefully occupied with other people's affairs. Of increasing importance is woman's second part in government, that of member of voluntary nonofficial organization or group: woman's club, social settlement, trade union, educational council, private charity. Women's organizations when inefficiently conducted may hamper government, just as efficient team work by women will always make efficient government easier. Woman's third part in government is that of direct, conscious influencer of public opinion and official action. Here her influence is limited by what she knows, sees, wants and talks about three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, whether she has the ballot or not. For this third part the most urgent need is for methods to insure straight-seeing, straight-thinking and straight-acting on public questions between election times. Woman's obligation to serve is measured by her opportunity to serve. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Woman's Municipal League Bulletin, Vol. 5: August 1906-December 1907 In how many cities traversed by a beautiful river do we see the river banks, the natural park of the people, converted into dumping grounds for rotting garbage, discarded mattresses, dead cats and a thousand and one other reminders that we have not yet mastered the fine art of living decently together. And a member of our State Board of Health tells a true story of a former resident in a Pennsylvania town in the typhoid fever district who offered to cleanse the city of just such an abomination as this, and to build a reservoir which would ensure an ample supply of clean water. But a committee waited on him and said that the city would rather he would build a soldiers' monument, if it was all the same to him! Civic cleanliness is the foundation of civic health. New Orleans should have scrubbed her streets before the yellow fever epidemic. Havana, now one of the cleanest cities in the world, should build in her public park a splendid monument to Colonel George E. Waring, of the United States army, who valiantly entered the list against. The filth and disease of that city and fell a victim to the fever; a martyrdom as inspiring to workers for the civic good as, any suffered on a bloody battlefield. Civic cleanliness is equally the foundation of civic art and of civic pride and self - respect. If you have thoughtlessly taken your guests from another city a short cut through a. Dirty alley to show them the carved white - stone Carnegie library, you may feel somewhat as if you had conducted them through a dirty kitchen to show them your sevres and faience. It'is your city, and you are suddenly made ashamed enough to wish, perhaps, that Mr. Carnegie had used his money to endow a school of municipal house keeping.

Download or read book Woman s City Club Bulletin Vol 10 written by Woman's City Club of Chicago and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman's City Club Bulletin, Vol. 10: May, 1921 While the members of the Club may justly feel much satisfaction in looking back over our past history, this is not a 'club to measure itself by what is past. Two questions confront us: Is the Club discharging adequately the responsibility it has undertaken to become the channel through which the women of Chicago and Cook County may aggressively work for good local government? And the other question is, What are the tasks of tomorrow? In answer to the first question, my contact with the members and directors of the Club has made me feel that the Club as a whole realizes that its own members and the women of this community have not yet taken a sufficiently vital hold on the governments that belong to us. We realize that, important as is the ballot as an instrument of political expression, that even more important is the education of the electorate on the questions that come before it and on the administration that succeeds election day. Thousands of women in Chicago today are not registered and voting, and thousands more are depending -for their education as citizens on the casual information which comes to them without effort of their own. This constitutes a challenge to the Woman's City Club and all other organizations concerned with our civic life. An informed and aroused electorate is the foundation stone of successful democracy. We have a membership of nearly and we reach several hundreds or even thousands more, but there are probably women eligible to vote in Chicago. Our task is just begun.
