Institutional Training 83 



The original table is filled in for the consecutive ages from 14 

 to 20 of 135 boys ; I have quoted those at 15 and those at 20. 

 From the difference in the two totals it would seem that many 

 of the boys by the age of 20 are absorbed in other occupations 

 than those given. I have then endeavoured to make out a 

 somewhat similar table, stating the occupations of 130 institu- 

 tion boys. I realise that the comparison is not a very satis- 

 factory one, as I have not been able to state at what particular 

 ages the boys were engaged in these trades, but roughly, that 

 their ages varied from 15 to 30. About half these boys are 

 natives of Birmingham ; the rest are from the North of 

 England Industrial School, and 9 are Glasgow Parish Council 

 children. No children from the Emigration Homes are included. 



Birmingham Boy? Occupations (135 cases). 



My own table showing the occupations of 130 boys from 

 institutions will be found on the next page.
