Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book records the work of Henry Street Settlement, a social service organization dedicated to improving the lives of the poor living in New York City. Written in 1916 and 1917, it includes the organization's financial records for 1916 and highlights the expansion and diversity of the settlement's work. It describes the efforts of the visiting nurse service, which provided care to over 3,500 individuals and offered instruction on hygiene and disease prevention, especially for mothers and infants. The book also outlines the settlement's work in education, with classes and clubs for adults and children, and its recreational and social programs, including a neighborhood theater and sports leagues. The author emphasizes the importance of community involvement and collaboration in addressing the needs of the city's most vulnerable residents, asserting that the work of the settlement is essential "to better the conditions of the people in the neighborhood and, in so doing, to help improve the conditions of the city." This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Step into the world of early 20th-century public health nursing with this detailed manual originally written for the Henry Street Visiting Nurse Service. This historical document offers a fascinating glimpse into the practices and challenges faced by nurses providing care in the homes of New York City's underprivileged communities. The book outlines the service's administrative structure, its philosophy of care, and the specific routines nurses followed for various situations, including general care, maternity, newborn care, and communicable diseases. The emphasis on hygiene, sanitation, and preventative measures reflects the public health concerns of the era. Beyond medical procedures, the manual reveals the nurses' broader social role. They were expected to identify and report issues like child labor and inadequate housing, connecting families with appropriate resources. This holistic approach recognized the interconnectedness of health and social conditions. By offering a window into this pioneering organization, this book sheds light on the evolution of public health nursing and its enduring impact on healthcare delivery and social welfare.

Soft cover. Condizione: Good. George S. Stoney, Walter S. Child (authors/writers/interviewers); Emeric Kurtagh, planner of the study (and Director of the Henry Street Settlement) and Helen Hall (Main Worker at Henry Street Settlement). Rooms of their Own, a Survey of 28 Lower East Side Social Clubs. Henry Street Settlement, Survey Department (led by Susan Jenkins), Henry Street Studies, 1939. 11"x 8.5", 79 leaves. Offset printed on one side of the page only, about 48,000 words. This is a very writerly and observant series of interviews and observations by George C. Stoney (who would become a life-long film documentarian, see below) of representatives of 28 social clubs in the Lower East Side. It is a WONDERFUL collection of observations on an unusual and perhaps obscure piece of social history of the Lower East Side of NYC. There is an introductory and review section ranging from pp 1-21, while pp 32-79 are the reports for each one of the social clubs. Discussions with the reps of the clubs touched on membership (there are a number of ethnic clubs as well as Jewish social clubs), the interipr design of the clubs, game playing, drinking, dues, rents, and much else of interest. It looks like in general that each club gets about 1.5 pp of attention. Provenance: given by the then 23-year-old George C. Stoney in 1939 to the Library of Congress, with a pencil notation to that on the reverse of the title page. There are a few pencil notes on the cover plus a LoC surplus stamp on the cover as well. Nice copy, a solid G/VG. The names of the clubs include: Perfecto Social Club, (member of the Federation of East Side Social Clubs), Carie Soical Club, Blue Heaven Social Club Inc., Avenue-Lords, Wa-Cor, Joy Guys, Catherine St Boys Inc., Riviaven, DCA (David Cohn Associates), Seward Street Boys, Jackson Social Club, Club J, Inc., Fri-la-HasClub, Inc., Grover St Boys Inc., Club Imperial, Rainbow Rhythm, Big League Social and Athletic Club, Rovers, Clin-Hes, Poplar Street Boys Association, Wilman, Athlitso, Golden Slippers (the only strictly female club on this list), Ohyeah, Circle, Dreamalong, Broadway Strutters, and Club Colossal. Notes: "George Cashel Stoney (July 1, 1916 July 12, 2012) was an American documentary filmmaker, educator, and the "father of public-access television." Among his films were Palmour Street, A Study of Family Life (1949), All My Babies (1953), How the Myth Was Made (1979) and The Uprising of '34 (1995). All My Babies was entered into the National Film Registry in 2002. He worked at the Henry Street Settlement House on the Lower East Side of NYC in 1938, as a field research assistant for Gunnar Myrdal and Ralph Bunche's on their publication An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy. He was also a publicist for the Farm Security Administration covering the plight of tenant farmers until he was drafted in 1942. …

Original illuminated document on parchment; hand-lettered in italic with gilt illuminations at upper left and right margins; signed beneath work by the calligrapher, "E. von E." (unidentified). With original signatures of 71 board members and staff of the Henry Street Settlement. Mild soil at margins; Near Fine. A handsome, hand-lettered tribute to outgoing President of the Board of the Henry Street Settlement Newbold Morris. Morris (1902-1966) was an important figure in Henry Street history, assuming the board presidency soon after the reorganization of the Settlement under Director Helen Hall, in 1944. Morris also played a prominent role in New York City planning and politics during the Robert Moses era; he was among the more prominent members of the New York Planning Commission; was President of the City Council from 1938 to 1945 and an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor in 1945 and 1949. Later, in 1961, Morris achieved some notoriety as the City Parks Commissioner, when he rejected the permits of hundreds of folk musicians who had been performing in Washington Square Park, sparking the so-called "Beatnik Riot," one of the opening salvos of Sixties countercultural activism. The document is undated, but expresses appeciation for Morris's "completion of a decade of service," placing it in the vicinity of 1954-5. Beneath the calligraphic portion, the document has been signed by seventy-one individuals, including fellow board-members, staff, and residents. These include a host of prominent mid-century New York figures, beginning with Hall herself and including the prominent civic leader Nicholas Kelley; choreographer Alwin Nikolais; economist Mary Keyserling; painter Jack Levine; long-time Henry Street youth worker Ralph Tefferteller, and many others. A unique and visually attractive artifact, marking the mid-century apex of one of the most successful and long-lived social welfare projects in New York. Signed.…
