Chain Home Idea for Watward Children Delinquent Homes
Dr CE Wilson proposes a chain of specialized juvenile homes in Australia, each boy trained to his best work. He cites 87 percent success in British borstals and argues a double purpose of privilege and punishment to reform. The plan uses personal study of each boy to tailor housing, work, and training within a broader welfare framework.
