About This Book

The author examines how immigrant families adapt to domestic life in the United States by surveying housing, sanitation, household management, earning and spending patterns, and changing family roles. The study analyzes child care, education, and juvenile control, and describes ethnic mutual-aid societies alongside community agencies that provide reception, instruction, home teaching, settlement classes, and case work. It reviews methods for improving housing, saving, and health, and outlines practical recommendations for coordinated social-service training and institutional cooperation to promote family welfare and smoother integration into civic and neighborhood life.
