Editor’s Notes

The note at the bottom of page 1 reads: *The program of the Chicago Conference of the National Federation of Settlement, under date of Wednesday, June 19th, 1929 (evening), contains the following note:

Three of the Chicago Pioneers have been writing biographies, and so necessarily evaluating life in terms of the settlement, and the settlement in terms of life. They have been asked to give some of the results of their thinking: perhaps in the form of answers to a few questions, such as:

1. Would you do it again?
2. What would you do differently?
3. How would you start today?

The following addresses by Jane Addams, Mary E. McDowell, and Graham Taylor were delivered at a dinner meeting, presided over by Charles C. Cooper.
