Editor’s Notes

Editorial note in the bottom center of page one reads: <em>Hull-House has from its very beginning been a place where immigrants gathered within walls which they knew to be friendly and protective, like the ancient walls of the European cities from which many of them came to America. Miss Addams’ discussion of the Quota Law takes on, therefore, the intimate background of neighborly experience with the law, and of some experiments, notably the Joint Board of Control in the garment trades, which are completely “American” in form and character, though they have grown up among groups of workers who are almost wholly alien.</em>

The immigrant families in the article were not identified.
