La Maison Paternelle: 'A College of Repression' for Wayward Bourgeois Adolescents in Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century France.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ramsland, John – History of Education, 1989
Describes the Maison Paternelle de St Antoine near Tours, France, which operated as a private institution for the correction of recalcitrant bourgeois adolescents from 1855 until 1909. Cites the suicide of an inmate as the factor which led to the closing of this facility and the focusing of attention in France on the rights of children. (KO)
