Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Condition of this collectable hardback book: Very Good (photo attached) Author has inscribed and signed, dated 1914. Edith Charlotte Onians (1866-1955), philanthropist, was born on 2 February 1866 at Lancefield, Victoria, one of seven children of Charlotte and Richard Onians. She attended as a boarder Fontainebleau Ladies' College, St Kilda. Until 1897 when she began a 'class' for city newsboys, her only employment outside of home had been to teach Sunday school. She persuaded some boys to come also on Sundays which was the start of her City Newsboys' Club. In 1903 it occupied an old factory which was partitioned for recreational activities and workshops. Her father supported her work and on his death in 1906 she was left an income. She later described her recreations as 'all her days and evenings are spent at the City Newsboys' Club'. Her rescue work began in part as a response to observed poverty. Street selling was the resort of children of destitute parents and children abandoned by, or who had abandoned, parents. Her club offered shelter and a way out of poverty for boys wishing to get on. But she was also greatly influenced by contemporary theories of child development and the social cost of delinquency. She was firmly on the nurture side of the nature/nurture debate. The majority of newsboys went after school to sell papers, or worked in the city as messenger boys or in offices; most of them went home after selling their papers. It was those who 'hang about' who needed a 'friendly hand'. There was 'no finer material for the making of good citizens', Miss Onians wrote, 'than the Melbourne street boy'. In 1901-02 and again in 1911-12 she studied boys' clubs and children's courts overseas. (She protested these courts should be called 'juvenile courts'). In between, 'Miss' - as she became known to her 'boys' - had gained the support of Janet Lady Clarke (q.v.) and other well-placed citizens and the Club moved into a two storey building with a pool, a gymnasium, a library and workshops, where successful 'old boys' returned as voluntary instructors. N March 14, 1912, towards the end of one of England's coldest winters, I Set sail for America, plunged right into the midst of the equinoctial gales, and, in consequence, landed at New York on March 24, just two days later than we had anticipated. From there I took the first train I could get to Chicago, and journeyed miles through the centre of this wonderful country. 281pp. Inscribed by Author(s).…
