 As an incidental part of their work nearly all of the settlements have been influential in obtaining some form Of ma- nicipal improvement, such as playgrounds. public baths, public libraries, improVeu streets, housing and sanitation, and mor2 humane administration of public, charity. Settlements have also assisted in creating public opinion in favor of the labor union at its best, in enforcing the laws concern ing the labor of women and children. and in va rious ways making 1t less easy to ex- ploit the more helpless members or the community.
 Because. the state is the instrument of social reform, the settlement must aiiti- mately organize by states, and begin ming has been made in this direction. Ma tionally the settlement has had very real share in developing the present campaign against child labor, in promoting the in.- provement for industrial education, the vocation bureau. the national study of the labor of women and children, ete., and is still specifically interested in immi- grafton, in carrying the idea of neighbor- hood cooperation into town and vilas life, and in widespread and progressive propaganda for the further humaniEaton of politics and industry.
