"We need to get back to the first idea, that of simply living in a poor neighborhood first and foremost, even if we do not enter into the lives and activities of those about us. The activities, the clubs, the classes, etc., are not the social settlement; it is the impulse, the spirit, which makes the settlement," affirmed Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House, Chicago.
"I understand there are a great many Poles in your city," said Miss Addams. "I should like to know how many of you have ever talked face to face with these people, and asked them concerning their hopes and fears; yet perhaps many of you have been to Warsaw, and a great many, I will guarantee, have cried over 'Thaddeus of Warsaw.'
