A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil
By JANE ADDAMS
Cloth, 12mo, $1.00. Standard Library, $.50
Jane Addams has an understanding way of looking at things. Hers is not to censure or to blame, but only to help humanity. That is the purpose of her new book in which she takes up a question that civilization will always have with it, the greatest social evil of our times. Miss Addams’s treatment is at all times frank, and there can be no doubt but that such a plain statement of the conditions and the source of the trouble, coupled with significant suggestions as to how these conditions may be bettered, will do much to bring about that happier state which, in Miss Addams’s opinion, is forecasted by the “new conscience.”
