Central Park in New York City, 1902, designed by Frederick Law Olmstead (1822-1903). First laid out in the 1850s, by the turn of the century its hills, meadows, and artificial lakes were a haven for middle-class city dwellers who could reach its borders by trolley.

Urban Social Trends Growth of the Middle class – why? Compulsory Education Laws Beginnings of Mass Culture Joseph Pulitzer William Randolph Hearst Yellow journalism Conspicuous Consumerism Department Stores & Advertising

Briefly explain the trend in literacy rate from 1870 – 1920. In which decade did the literacy increase the most? How much was the increase in literacy from 1880 - 1900?

R. H. Macy & Company, New York City R. H. Macy & Company, New York City. The department store was as much a symbol of the modern city as the skyscraper and the city park. Macy's, or Marshall Field in Chicago symbolized the size, the dazzling variety of consumer goods and the organization of an efficient mass delivery system that substituted employees for craftsmen/owners, and characterized late 19th century industrialization. 1905 photograph by Detroit Photo Company.
