58 Environment and Efficiency 



As to the children boarded-out in lona by the Glasgow 

 Parish Council, I have not needed to classify the twenty records 

 sent to me by Dr. Mackenzie, as I have only received satis- 

 factory ones. The average length for which 17 of them are 

 kept is 9 years. The average age to which 17 of them are 

 kept is 24.5 years. 



Of these 20 records, 12 are of children admitted at 8 

 years and under, and only 2 at 12 years or over.
