The Pittsburgh Survey: Findings in Six Volumes, Vol. 5 of 6 (Classic Reprint)
(Pittsburgh Survey was brought out in thirtyfive magazine ...)
Pittsburgh Survey was brought out in thirtyfive magazine articles in the six months following completion of the investigation. The succeeding year the findings of four major lines of inquiry were published under separate covers. In binding up the minor reports at this date in permanent form, only those are included which as transcripts of the human consequences of some phase of our civic or economic order, as cross sections of the community life, or as exhibits of either retrograde or nascent social institutions, will be of service generally to those at work upon the fabric of the common welfare. Booth compressed into a single masterful phrase the scope of his panoramic analysis of the People of London. He dealt with their life and labor. We fell into the same great division in our much less exhaustive study of the wage-earning population of Pittsburgh, taking up both the civic conditions which bore especially upon them, and their industrial relations. It has been natural to employ the same division in bringing out these final monographs under two titles: The Pittsburgh District and Wage-earning Pittsburgh. Certain writings are included which give the inter-relation of the various studies and their Pittsburgh setting. As the set stands on a shelf, therefore, these concluding volumes may well become the first of the six; and it is appropriate to incorporate as Appendix Ea brief statement of the whole working scheme.

(Slavs from A ustro-H ungary, the Latins from the Mediterr...)
Slavs from A ustro-H ungary, the Latins from the Mediterranean provinces, the Germans or the British-born,who come to Pittsburgh to do the heavy work of manufacture (and for Pittsburgh read the United States), come from a region of law and order to a region of law-made anarchy so far as the hazards of industry are concerned. For there is scarcely a country of modern Europe but has brought its statutes abreast of industrial progress and wrought out for itself, as we have not, some sensible adjustment between civil rights, human needs, and the ceaseless operations in which groups of men and powerful appliances are joined in producing what the world wants. Laggard as the American states have thus been in what Mr. William Hard has called the law of the killed and injured, it is ours to profit by the experience of the countries which have from five to fifteen years headway in this field. An American system should, none the less, be grounded firmly in American conditions. Toward the understanding of these conditions, of the common causes of accidents, and their consequences in the actual household experience of working people, this book is contributed. Miss Eastman presents the findings of the first systematic investigation of all cases occurring during a representative period in a representative American district. No such body of facts has hitherto been available, and the investigation could scarcely have been better timed in relation to constructive efforts towards the establishment of industrial justice. The field work was carried on during 1907-08 as part of the Pittsburgh Survey and the results were published in brief in Charities and the Commons in March, 1909. During the past year state commissions have been appointed in Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York for the purpose of recommending legislation on this subject.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

Paul Underwood Kellogg was an American editor and social reformer. He served as an editor of Survey magazine from 1912 to 1952.
Background
Paul Underwood Kellogg was born on September 30, 1879 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States, the son of Frank Israel Kellogg, who was in the lumber business, and Mary Foster Underwood. When the family business failed in the early 1890's, his father departed for Texas, leaving his wife to care for two young boys.
Education
Kellogg attended Kalamazoo High School, where, with his older brother, Arthur, he edited the school newspaper. He graduated in 1897. Ambitious to make his mark, he went to New York City in the summer of 1901 and enrolled as a special student at Columbia University, full-time during the academic year 1901-1902 and part-time for several years thereafter. In 1902 he also studied at the Summer School in Philanthropic Work, sponsored by the New York Charity Organization Society.
Career
In 1897 Kellogg became a reporter for, and 1898 city editor of, the Kalamazoo Daily Telegraph. In 1902 his editorial abilities were recognized by New York Charity Organization Society and he was offered a position as assistant editor of Charities. With his brother, who joined the staff in 1903, Kellogg broadened the focus of the journal from a parochial concern with the delivery of charitable services to include the critical discussion of pressing social issues. Charities further enlarged its scope and its circulation when, in 1905, it merged with Commons, the official organ of the settlement house movement. Kellogg became managing editor.
In 1907 Kellogg headed the first major in-depth social survey of any American urban community. This research project enlisted the efforts of a team of scholars and community leaders, and led over the next several years to the gathering of a mass of data on every aspect of life and labor in the modern industrial complex of Pittsburgh. The results were published in a series of articles and then in six large volumes, Pittsburgh Survey (1910 - 1914). His national reputation enhanced by his direction of the Pittsburgh Survey, Kellogg returned in 1909 to his editorial position on Charities and the Commons, now renamed Survey. In 1912 he assumed command as editor in chief, his brother Arthur serving as managing editor.
For the next forty years Survey was the leading journal for the emerging profession of social work and a significant force in social reform. Moved by the faith that an elite of professional persons and community leaders, if well informed, could move the nation along the paths of welfare and progress, Survey dedicated itself to sound reporting of social facts and to the elaboration of policies and programs designed to ameliorate social evils and reconstruct a more just America. The agenda of concern included many major causes: public housing, parks and playgrounds, urban renewal, government regulation of industrial conditions (maximum hours, minimum wages, the protection of women workers, the prohibition of child labor), social insurance (workmen's compensation, unemployment insurance, old age pensions, aid to dependent children), the conservation of natural and human resources, the rights of women and ethnic and racial minorities, civil liberties, the right of labor to organize and bargain collectively, regional planning, rural electrification, public health, and world peace.
During the Great Depression, Survey was a voice for federal work relief programs and for all the diverse welfare policies of the New Deal. Kellogg himself served on the advisory committee that helped to shape the Social Security Act of 1935. Over the years Survey also continued to publish specialized articles designed to improve the level of social services, to make them both more efficient and more humane. Under Kellogg's editorship experts were solicited to set forth new techniques in penology, treatment of juvenile delinquency, mental health and retardation, adult education, casework, settlement work, community organization, and social work education.
Although a brilliant, inspired, and skilled editor, Kellogg was never an efficient administrator. After the death of his brother in 1934, he was unable to find another manager as skilled and reliable. Slow to delegate authority and unwilling to train a successor, Kellogg squandered his declining energies in trying to meet every responsibility. By the end of the 1940's he was in ill health, and Survey was in acute financial troubles. The journal ceased publication in 1952.
Although the editing of Survey consumed most of Kellogg's energies, he found time for other activities. He served for many years on the national boards at Foreign Policy Association and of the American Civil Liberties Union. He also participated in the defense of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Kellogg did field surveys in Belgium, France, and Italy for the American Red Cross in 1917-1918. As a leading member of the American Friends of Spanish Democracy in the mid-1930's, he joined others in seeking a lifting of the arms embargo against the Spanish Republic. In recognition of his lifelong efforts in welfare, he was appointed president of the National Conference of Social Work in 1939.
Achievements
Kellogg was recognized for his sociological researches. His prominent project "Pittsburgh Survey" set a model for sociological investigation, stimulated national movements for housing reform and for workmen's compensation and provided ammunition in the prolonged war to eliminate the twelve-hour day in the steel industry. Under his leadership Survey magazine turned into America's leading social work journal. He also played a major part in the creation, in 1918, of the organization that became the Foreign Policy Association and of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Politics
Kellogg was opposed to the entrance of the United States into World War I, but accepted the fact of its belligerent role after April 1917 and worked with others for an official declaration of idealistic war goals.
Views
Kellogg hoped to find ways to reconcile classes, religions, and peoples, to resolve divisions and antagonisms so that social harmony would prevail. He was impatient with exploitation and injustice but patient in the face of evil because he believed in the ultimate beneficence of history. From that progressive faith he never wavered.
Connections
On October 5, 1909, Kellogg married Marion Pearce Sherwood, a Kalamazoo acquaintance. They were divorced in 1934, and on February 26, 1935, he married Helen Hall, director of the Henry Street Settlement in New York.
