St. Vincent’s Home for Boys A Study of the Home’s Program
Abstract
As one reads the newspaper today, there is constant reference made to the problem of the Juvenile Delinquent, He is described as a boy without a home, one who has been the product of a broken marriage or no marriage at all, the boy who comes from the poor section of the city, the lad who was easily influenced by an alcoholic father and an immoral mother and so on, with the causes multiplying by each author and article. However, it is of interest to note that many of these same social problems were demanding the attention of the public in 1868, There was the difficulty then of the neglected and dependent youths who were homeless. It was a period when the child of twelve years of age could be exploited in the factories, it was also a time, in the history of Brooklyn, when the members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society saw the needs of these boys and established St. Vincent’s Home, it is this Home which serves as the subject for this dissertation.
