It is here presented in book form in the hope that it may prove of value to those groups of people who in many cities are making a gallant effort to minimize the dangers which surround young people and to provide them with opportunities for recreation."},{"id":"content0:3","kind":"heading","text":"CHAPTER I YOUTH IN THE CITY"},{"id":"content0:4","kind":"paragraph","text":"Nothing is more certain than that each generation longs for a reassurance as to the value and charm of life, and is secretly afraid lest it lose its sense of the youth of the earth. This is doubtless one reason why it so passionately cherishes its poets and artists who have been able to explore for themselves and to reveal to others the perpetual springs of life's self-renewal."},{"id":"content0:5","kind":"paragraph","text":"And yet the average man cannot obtain this desired reassurance through literature, nor yet through glimpses of earth and sky. It can come to him only through the chance embodiment of joy and youth which life itself may throw in his way. It is doubtless true that for the mass of men the message is never so unchallenged and so invincible as when embodied in youth itself. One generation after another has depended upon its young to equip it with gaiety and enthusiasm, to persuade it that living is a pleasure, until men everywhere have anxiously provided channels through which this wine of life might flow, and be preserved for their delight. The classical city promoted play with careful solicitude, building the theater and stadium as it built the market place and the temple. The Greeks held their games so integral a part of religion and patriotism that they came to expect from their poets the highest utterances at the very moments when the sense of pleasure released the national life. In the medieval city the knights held their tourneys, the guilds their pageants, the people their dances, and the church made festival for its most cherished saints with gay street processions, and presented a drama in which no less a theme than the history of creation became a matter of thrilling interest. Only in the modern city have men concluded that it is no longer necessary for the municipality to provide for the insatiable desire for play. In so far as they have acted upon this conclusion, they have entered upon a most difficult and dangerous experiment; and this at the very moment when the city has become distinctly industrial, and daily labor is continually more monotonous and subdivided. We forget how new the modern city is, and how short the span of time in which we have assumed that we can eliminate public provision for recreation."},{"id":"content0:6","kind":"paragraph","text":"A further difficulty lies in the fact that this industrialism has gathered together multitudes of eager young creatures from all quarters of the earth as a labor supply for the countless factories and workshops, upon which the present industrial city is based. Never before in civilization have such numbers of young girls been suddenly released from the protection of the home and permitted to walk unattended upon city streets and to work under alien roofs; for the first time they are being prized more for their labor power than for their innocence, their tender beauty, their ephemeral gaiety. Society cares more for the products they manufacture than for their immemorial ability to reaffirm the charm of existence. Never before have such numbers of young boys earned money independently of the family life, and felt themselves free to spend it as they choose in the midst of vice deliberately disguised as pleasure."},{"id":"content0:7","kind":"paragraph","text":"This stupid experiment of organizing work and failing to organize play has, of course, brought about a fine revenge. The love of pleasure will not be denied, and when it has turned into all sorts of malignant and vicious appetites, then we, the middle aged, grow quite distracted and resort to all sorts of restrictive measures. We even try to dam up the sweet fountain itself because we are affrighted by these neglected streams; but almost worse than the restrictive measures is our apparent belief that the city itself has no obligation in the matter, an assumption upon which the modern city turns over to commercialism practically all the provisions for public recreation."},{"id":"content0:8","kind":"paragraph","text":"Quite as one set of men has organized the young people into industrial enterprises in order to profit from their toil, so another set of men and also of women, I am sorry to say, have entered the neglected field of recreation and have organized enterprises which make profit out of this invincible love of pleasure."},{"id":"content0:9","kind":"paragraph","text":"In every city arise so-called \"places\"—\"gin-palaces,\" they are called in fiction; in Chicago we euphemistically say merely \"places,\"—in which alcohol is dispensed, not to allay thirst, but, ostensibly to stimulate gaiety, it is sold really in order to empty pockets. Huge dance halls are opened to which hundreds of young people are attracted, many of whom stand wistfully outside a roped circle, for it requires five cents to procure within it for five minutes the sense of allurement and intoxication which is sold in lieu of innocent pleasure. These coarse and illicit merrymakings remind one of the unrestrained jollities of Restoration London, and they are indeed their direct descendants, properly commercialized, still confusing joy with lust, and gaiety with debauchery. Since the soldiers of Cromwell shut up the people's playhouses and destroyed their pleasure fields, the Anglo-Saxon city has turned over the provision for public recreation to the most evil-minded and the most unscrupulous members of the community. We see thousands of girls walking up and down the streets on a pleasant evening with no chance to catch a sight of pleasure even through a lighted window, save as these lurid places provide it. Apparently the modern city sees in these girls only two possibilities, both of them commercial: first, a chance to utilize by day their new and tender labor power in its factories and shops, and then another chance in the evening to extract from them their petty wages by pandering to their love of pleasure."},{"id":"content0:10","kind":"paragraph","text":"As these overworked girls stream along the street, the rest of us see only the self-conscious walk, the giggling speech, the preposterous clothing. And yet through the huge hat, with its wilderness of bedraggled feathers, the girl announces to the world that she is here. She demands attention to the fact of her existence, she states that she is ready to live, to take her place in the world. The most precious moment in human development is the young creature's assertion that he is unlike any other human being, and has an individual contribution to make to the world. The variation from the established type is at the root of all change, the only possible basis for progress, all that keeps life from growing unprofitably stale and repetitious."}],"toc":[{"id":"content0:0:1","label":"Jane Addams The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets","page":1,"pageUrl":"/books/3zoC3unT#reader-content"},{"id":"content0:1:1","label":"FOREWORD","page":1,"pageUrl":"/books/3zoC3unT#reader-content"},{"id":"content0:3:1","label":"CHAPTER I YOUTH IN THE CITY","page":1,"pageUrl":"/books/3zoC3unT#reader-content"},{"id":"content1:0:4","label":"CHAPTER II THE WRECKED FOUNDATIONS OF DOMESTICITY","page":4,"pageUrl":"/books/3zoC3unT?page=4#reader-content"},{"id":"content2:0:7","label":"CHAPTER III THE QUEST FOR ADVENTURE","page":7,"pageUrl":"/books/3zoC3unT?page=7#reader-content"},{"id":"content3:0:10","label":"CHAPTER IV THE HOUSE OF DREAMS","page":10,"pageUrl":"/books/3zoC3unT?page=10#reader-content"},{"id":"content4:0:15","label":"CHAPTER V THE SPIRIT OF YOUTH AND INDUSTRY","page":15,"pageUrl":"/books/3zoC3unT?page=15#reader-content"},{"id":"content5:0:19","label":"CHAPTER VI THE THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS","page":19,"pageUrl":"/books/3zoC3unT?page=19#reader-content"}]},"similarBooks":[{"idCatalog":109322,"shortId":"0MWGXlMW","title":"Теория всего.
