Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civic Club Digest of the Educational and Charitable Institutions and Societies in Philadelphia: Compiled by a Committee of the Social Science Section of the Civic Club With an Introduction on Social Aspects of Philadelphia Relief Work No charge has been made for any insertion concerning any institution or society. Hence, the amount of space devoted to each has been determined by the judgment of the Committee based on the relative importance of the organiza tion, of its work and of the amount of information which it was possible to obtain. Care has been taken to give the legal title of organizations so that the book may be a safe guide in the framing 'of wills. The Committee acknowledges with pleasure the services of a very large number of individuals, whose names it would be impossible to enumerate, who have given freely of their time and money to assist in the preparation of this work. The thanks of the public, as well as our own, are due to the subscribers through whose generosity it has been possible to offer this book at so low a price. Lastly, we desire to thank all the organizations that responded promptly and fully to our printed circulars of inquiry. Our system of classification is not perfect, but we think it possesses the merit of simplicity and ready intelligibility. In the body of the book organizations are classified only once, and then by the heading under which their work chiefly falls in the index at the end they are classified under the several headings which are suggestive of the work they endeavor to perform.
