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.
