珍亚当斯的杰出成就

1880年代时，珍亚当斯到欧洲旅行 。当她到达伦敦时，她造访了一栋名为汤恩比大厦 (Toynbee Hall) 的殖民住宅 。殖民住宅是建来提供社区服务用的，宗旨在于减轻城市问题，如贫穷；受到汤恩比大厦的启发，亚当斯及她的朋友斯塔尔 (Ellen Gates Starr) 于1889年，在芝加哥的贫民窟附近兴建了赫尔大厦 。许多住在那儿的人都是来自于义大利、俄罗斯、波兰、 德国、爱尔兰及希腊外国移民。对这些劳工穷人而言，, 赫尔大厦提供外出工作的母亲一个日间托儿所、一间社区厨房及探访护士。亚当斯及她手下的工作人员会开班授课，课程内容包括英文读写、美术及其他科目。另外，赫尔大厦也成为俱乐部及工会开会的聚集场所 。大部分跟亚当斯一起在赫尔大厦工作的人都是受过良好教育的中产阶级妇女。赫尔大厦让她们有机会应用她们的教育知识，而且它也提供了社会工作的训练平台；您认为珍亚当斯还会在那些方面帮助人们？

In the 1880s Jane Addams traveled to Europe. While she was in London, she visited a settlement house called Toynbee Hall. Settlement houses were created to provide community services to ease urban problems such as poverty. Inspired by Toynbee Hall, Addams and her friend, Ellen Gates Starr, opened Hull House in a neighborhood of slums in Chicago in 1889. Many who lived there were immigrants from countries such as Italy, Russia, Poland, Germany, Ireland, and Greece. For these working poor, Hull House provided a day care center for children of working mothers, a community kitchen, and visiting nurses. Addams and her staff gave classes in English literacy, art, and other subjects. Hull House also became a meeting place for clubs and labor unions. Most of the people who worked with Addams in Hull House were well educated, middle-class women. Hull House gave them an opportunity to use their education and it provided a training ground for careers in social work. How else do you think Jane Addams helped people?
