Page "Jane Addams" Paragraph 14
from
Wikipedia
Then, finally, she read about something she could actually do.
In the summer of 1887, she read in a magazine about the new idea of a settlement house.
She decided to visit the world's first, in London, on a second trip to Europe.
It was called Toynbee Hall.
She and several friends, including Ellen Gates Starr, traveled in Europe from December 1887 through the summer of 1888.
Addams told no one of her dream to start a settlement house at first ; but, as she traveled, she felt increasingly guilty that she was just being a tourist and not acting.
