Paul U. Kellogg and the Survey was first published in 1971.
Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make
long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published
unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press
editions.This joint biography of an editor, Paul U. Kellogg, and a
journal, the Survey, provides new insights into the story of social
work, social welfare policy, and political and social reform in the
United States during the first half of the twentieth century. Under
Kellogg's editorship, the Survey and Survey Graphic journals stood
at the heart of the evolution of social work as a profession and
the development of a public social welfare policy during those
years. Early in his career, in 1901, Kellogg joined the staff of
the Charities Review, the leading social service publication at
that time. In 1912 he became editor in chief of the successor to
that journal, the Survey, and he held this position of leadership
for forty years until the magazine ceased publication. The journals
Kellogg edited played a major role in shaping and defining areas
and methods of social service in all its diverse fields -- the
settlement movement, casework, recreation and group work, community
organization, and social action. They carried news in depth about
all manner of social work practice--juvenile courts, penology,
health, education, institutional care, public relief, the
administration of social insurance, and other aspects. The Survey's
influence was profound in promoting the elaboration of public
policy in social welfare fields, such as housing reform, workmen's
compensation, the rights of organized labor, old age and survivors'
insurance, unemployment compensation, aid to dependent children,
and health insurance. Thus this account represents an important
chapter in American social history.
