By Florence Davenport-Hill and Florence Davenport Hill

Book Overview

""Children of the State: The Training of Juvenile Paupers"" is a book written by Florence Davenport Hill in 1868. The book explores the treatment and education of children who were deemed paupers and were therefore placed under the care of the state. Hill examines the different methods used to train these children, including the workhouse system and the apprenticeship system. She also looks at the impact of these systems on the children's physical and mental well-being, as well as their future prospects. The book provides a detailed insight into the social and economic conditions of the time and sheds light on the treatment of vulnerable children in society. It is a valuable historical resource for those interested in the history of child welfare and social policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
