Starr and Addams developed three "ethical principles" for social settlements: "to teach by example, to practice cooperation, and to practice social democracy, that is, egalitarian, or democratic, social relations across class lines."<ref>Knight (2005) p. 182</ref>  Hull House therefore offered a comprehensive program of civic, cultural, recreational, and educational activities and attracted admiring visitors from all over the world, in including [[William Lyon MacKenzie King]], a graduate student from Harvard who later became prime minister of Canada. In the 1890s [[Julia Lathrop]], [[Florence kelley|Florence Kelley]], and other residents of the house made it a world center of social reform activity.  Hull House used the latest methodology (pioneering in statistical mapping) to study overcrowding, truancy, typhoid fever, cocaine, children's reading, newsboys, infant mortality, and midwifery. Starting with efforts to improve the immediate neighborhood, the Hull House group became involved in city- and statewide campaigns for better housing, improvements in public welfare, stricter child-labor laws, and protection of working women. Addams brought in prominent visitors from around the world, and had close links with leading Chicago intellectuals and philanthropists.  Some of the Hull House residents were socialists, but Addams was committed to capitalism and its reform.
