 Addams was familiar with Barnett’s writings and often referred to them. For example, when Addams wrote “The Function of the Social Settlement,” Barnett’s philosophy played a prominent role. She agrees that settlements should not be missions because if they become too ideological, they will fail to be responsive to their neighbors (FSS 344–345). However, despite acknowledging that the term “settlement” was borrowed from London, she finds differences between the philosophies of Toynbee Hall and Hull House: “The American Settlement, perhaps has not so much a sense of duty of the privileged toward the unprivileged of the ‘haves’ to the ‘have nots,’ to borrow Canon Barnett’s phrase, as a desire to equalize through social effort those results which superior opportunity may have given the possessor” (FSS 322–323). Addams is very concerned about a sense of moral superiority attributed to settlement work. She always eschewed the notion that she was a charitable “lady bountiful.” Instead, she wanted to learn about others to develop the proper sympathies and strategies for assisting—sympathetic knowledge. For Addams, Hull House always combined epistemological concerns with moral ones.
