A dtw do p.5, PREFATORY NOTE THE following pages give an account of the International Congress of Women, convened at The Hague in A pril, 1915, and of the journeys undertaken by two delegations from that Congress. Much of the material has already appeared in The Survey, and is obviously journalistic in character. It may be of value, however, during these days of much war correspondence, as a report of European conditions from the point of view of that peace sentiment which survives in the midst of every war, but which is -not easily uncovered. If an apology were needed for putting such slight material into a book, it may be stated that the widespread interest in the separate articles seemed to justify presenting them in convenient form. It is further hoped that this recital by three American women may correct the impression made upon the public by the contradictory accounts given through the press, and that the reader may become interested in the official report of the Congress.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

In "The Spirit of Youth and the City Streest," Chicago's Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams examines the causes for the discontent of youth in the city and argues for the importance of providing direction and focus for the pent-up energies of young men and women. When this book was first published in 1909, Addams was the most famous woman in America. A celebrity and a spiritual leader, she was widely regarded as practical, realistic, and endowed with a special insight into the problems of urban America. The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets--her favorite of her own books--establishes Addams as an accomplished writer as well as a reformer. In this compact volume she examines the causes for the discontent of youth in the city, chiding educators for their "persistent blindness to youth's most obvious needs." Addams argues for the importance of providing direction and focus--for example, through public recreation, practical education, and experiences in the arts--for the pent-up energies of young men and women. She takes a realistic view of their basic social and sexual drives and their disaffection and alienation in an industrial world. At the same time, she rejects the hereditary explanations for delinquency that prevailed in her day.
