Fighting the Spoilsmen : Reminiscences of the Civil Service Reform Movement (Classic Reprint).cWilliam Dudley Foulke
Excerpt from Fighting the Spoilsmen: Reminiscences of the Civil Service Reform Movement
Among the voluntary associations which have existed in this country for the propagation of various political and social movements there are two which have fairly won an honorable place in history: the Anti-Slavery Society which played an important part in the movement for the abolition of human bondage, and the National Civil Service Reform League which, with its constituent local and State associations, has done much to bring about the establishment of the competitive system in the civil service.
The history of such organizations ought to be preserved, not only on account of the things they did, but as an illustration of the power of comparatively small groups of men, when properly organized and skillfully led, to accomplish by long and persistent efforts great public reforms. It shows what immense possibilities there are in voluntary association with self-sacrificing devotion to a cherished cause.
