He was a man o f influence himself, an owner o f grain mills, officer
in the Civil War, State Senator for 16 years and personal friend o f President
Abraham Lincoln, also from Illinois. John Addams encouraged his
daughter to pursue an education. Her schooling emphasized social
responsibility and passion for culture and good works. For a while, she set
her sights on becoming a doctor and stayed at the school for another six 
years.
After school Jane and a friend from college, Ellen Starr were touring 
Europe and Britain when she visited
London’s East End and Toynbee Hall. Toynbee Hall was a 
«settlement house», ministering to the needs o f London’s poor. They 
decided to bring the concept to America, and found a decayed mansion on 
Chicago’s Halstead Street originally built Щ 1; merchant named Charles
Hull. Hull house opened its doors for all those who cared to enter on 
September 18, 1889. So great was the need for basic social service that 
2,000 people a day asked and received help. The old mansion grew to 
include many firsts for Chicago, including a playground, gymnasium, 
citizenship preparation classes, public baths and a swimming pool. It led to 
the enactment o f the first factory in Illinois, the first tenement code and 
was the birthplace o f four labour unions. Hull house became a national 
historic landmark in June o f 1967. Jane Addams made her childhood dream 
of improving living conditions for the poor come true. She didn’t make it to 
Oslo for the Nobel Prize, though, as her health had begun to fail by 1931. 
When she passed away on May 21, 1935, a train carried her from the 
funeral services at Hull House to rest in Cedarville, the place where she 
grew up and began her life’s passion o f service. So great has been the 
lasting effect o f her works that Jane Addams has been described as one of 
social work’s «founding mothers». 
(Adaptedfrom Shepler, J. (1999)).
