Excerpt from Young Delinquents: A Study of Reformatory and Industrial Schools

Children is in our country supervised by three public departments - the Home Office, the Local Government Board (the Boards of Guardians form part of its system), and the Board of Education and its local authorities. These three departments overlap and interfere with each other their principles of administra tion and their treatment of the young differ fundamentally. Not one of them has proved so conspicuous a success as to admit of its superseding the Others and being made uni versal. The idea of establishing one authority, acting on one theory and one method, is a dream of the future still. Besides these three public departments, there are an infinity of private voluntary associations, which get hold of derelict children, generally with the best intentions and from the most laudable motives, and bring them up upon a system of their own devising, tempered always by the financial.
