  This movement, however, is by no means recent. One of the most
  exciting school campaigns in a great city was waged by the Civic Club
  of Philadelphia, a reform organization of women, nearly twenty years
  ago, in 1895. The story of that campaign is told in a pamphlet edited
  by Mrs. Talcott Williams and printed as a publication of the American
  Academy of Political and Social Science.
