Records 



Summary of Four Institutions. 



This table summarises the results of four institutions only. 

 Those of the boarded-out children and of the X. Home for 

 Boys are not included, the first because only satisfactory cases 

 were furnished, and the second because the records were kept 

 for an insufficient period. 



Out of 265 cases 192, or 72 per cent., are satisfactory; 

 44, or 1 6 per cent., are doubtful ; 

 29, or less than 1 1 per cent., are unsatis- 

 factory. 

 Of the 29 unsatisfactory cases 



8 are definitely mental ; 

 5 described as u almost deficient, &c." 



And out of 80 records given at length in the above tables, 

 8 unsatisfactory and doubtful cases were admitted at 12 years 

 or over. I have not any statistics with regard to the proportion 

 of those admitted over 12 to the total number of children, but I 

 think it would be considerably larger.
