Talks to Parents and Teachers

'Talks to Parents and Teachers' by Homer Lane, was initially published in 1928 and remains a progressive account of child upbringing and delinquency reform. Homer Lane was superintendent of a reformatory called The Little Commonwealth which resided in the English countryside and aimed at helping troubled children, mainly from large cities, to develop a social and moral conscience through patient guidance as against the more traditionally employed methods of strict discipline and obedience.
