Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Neighbors All: A Settlement Notebook

To my friends of the South End, where I had the privilege of living for more than twenty years in the South End House, I owe the rich experiences which are to be found in this little book.

With my neighbors I met some of the great phenomena of life, as well as the everyday joys and sorrows. Together we were able to watch life become easier, richer, and happier. It was a great satisfaction to see a whole generation of children grow up to assume responsibility and to make their contribution toward conscientious, citizenship.
