Excerpt from Slums of New York
The task of adapting the schools to this newer conception of social service is enormous in magnitude and complexity. In many communities the attempt is being made, as it is in New York City, but the difficulties are staggering. Apart from the professional problems of training and retraining teachers for new skills and attitudes, there are the matters of ground space, build ing, equipment, cooperation with existing agencies, development of public opinions, and everything that has to do with public expenditures. It is here the members of Rotary may perform a notable service. If they are stirred by the importance of social adjustment, then they will bring all their influence to bear upon their local governments, upon boards of education, upon indi vidual schools, in order that these institutions may, through the force Of public opinion, be brought to a fuller realization of the fact that their own employees are products Of a favorable or an unfavorable environment and that the supply of efficient em ployees depends in part upon what the community does to make that environment favorable. Still further, that as long as society produces unemployables, employers will have to support them through public relief. If they can be made employable they will contribute to the common good instead of just drawing upon it. Finally, studies such as these, made under the auspices of socially minded business and professional men, are bound to make those men more conscious and more understanding of the total social problem and therefore able to make a real contribution to the group thinking that is the essence of democracy.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Depicting the extreme hardships within the slums of New York, this book analyzes the impact of cultural patterns among immigrant families during the upheaval of the Great Depression. The author presents a detailed study of four distinct communities within Manhattanâ"each at a different stage in the slum cycleâ"revealing vast cultural differences and assimilation rates among the largely Southern and Eastern European immigrant population. Data was collected by the author over a five-year period through case studies of over 500 families, providing a rich portrait of generational struggles, cultural identity, family life, and economic hardship. The author argues that the preservation of Old World traditions and language significantly contributed to family resilience amid economic turmoil. However, this cultural divide also sowed seeds of conflict between parents and American-born children, who sought to break from the confines of their immigrant upbringing. The book offers a nuanced examination of the complex social, cultural, and economic factors that shaped immigrant life in the early 20th century, providing valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of assimilation.
