JNDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC (1)
The industrial schools harbour and teach orphans or abandoned
children between the ages of 6 and 14 years, who are without shelter or
exposed to undesirable conditions. They aiso receive children of less than
12 years of age who have been condernned at the request of their parents
owing to their bad and vicious habits or lack of discipline. The appl.ica-
tion for detention is made either by a ratepayer, the mayor of the muni-
cipality, a relative or by the child's tutor. The detention is ordered
by a justice of the peace, a magistrate, a sheriff or pl'othonotary if he
is convinced aftel' exarnining witnesses that the child cornes under the
provisions of the law.
The cost of maintenance of the children is paid one half by the
Government and one haH by th, municipality in which the child resided
at the time of his detention ; the municipality may however be refunded
by execution against the irnmovables of the child or of such persons
as are by law obliged to support him. In certain cases there may also
be recourse against another municipality. The young delinquents are
taught different trades in these industrial schools.
Table 86 shows the nnmber of children interned in the industrial
schooIs, on the 31st Decernbel' of each year. The amount contributed
by the Province, in 1925, reached $285,434 while the receipts were
$381,320. The total amount of expenditure for the same year was
$371,085.
