Title |
“Endangered” Children and the Montreal Ladies’ Benevolent Society Industrial School, 1883–1921
|
Abstract |
The author describes life in a privately run industrial school for children ‘at risk’ set up in Montreal inside a large child charity (the Montreal Ladies’ Benevolent Society). She points out that even though institutions of this kind—particularly industrial schools—were part of the wider structure of social regulation set up to police families in the larger sense of the term, the Montreal school was run with a protective approach rather than a repressive one, within a logic that mixed both regulation and assistance. The author argues that this was increasingly true as the municipality used the scope of the law to mould industrial schools into an early version of municipal assistance.
