Scope and Contents

An excerpt from the newspaper clipping reads as follows:

Culture at 553 Aurora ave, is tempera paint blown through a paper straw. It is a piece of paper twisted into a three-dimensional mobile. It is a free play period full of children eager to act out a feeling they want to share with others. It is, above all, a Saturday kind of fun that may bring new fame to Hallie Q. Brown, the settlement house that for 36 years has been a bulwark against delinquency.

Newspaper article features a picture of Nellie Mosses at 8 years old, who resided at 443 N. Kent St.
