Some Results Of Boarding Out Poor Law Children is a book written by William Pitt Trevelyan and published in 1903. The book examines the practice of boarding out poor law children in England during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Boarding out was a system where poor law children were placed in the care of foster families in the hope that they would receive better care than they would in institutional settings.Trevelyan's book presents the findings of a survey conducted by the Local Government Board in 1901, which aimed to assess the effectiveness of boarding out as a means of caring for poor law children. The survey collected data from over 1,000 children who had been boarded out across England and Wales.The book provides a detailed analysis of the survey results, examining factors such as the age and health of the children, the quality of care provided by the foster families, and the impact of boarding out on the children's education and future prospects. Trevelyan also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of boarding out compared to other forms of care, such as institutionalization.Overall, Some Results Of Boarding Out Poor Law Children provides a valuable insight into the history of child welfare in England and the challenges faced by policymakers in providing effective care for vulnerable children. It remains a significant work in the field of social history and is of interest to anyone interested in the history of child welfare or 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.
