Originally published in 1945, this is a concise account of the
remarkable experiment with boys carried out by the author of The
Hawkspur Experiment. The war put this latter experiment into
abeyance, but gave its author an opportunity to practice his
principles on a group of younger difficult boys. Aged from eight to
fourteen, these boys were the "throw-outs" of the Evacuation
Scheme, but before the Barns experiment had been long in operation
troublesome boys were being evacuated not primarily to escape
bombs, but in order that they might have the treatment that Barns
provided. Barns was a Hostel-school initiated by the Society of
Friends, where lawless boys made their own laws, and where the
principle instrument in their reformation was not punishment but
affection. So successful were the unconventional methods here
described that sceptics were convinced, and Barns has now achieved
a permanent place in the field of "the therapy of the dis-social."
Today it would be described as a therapeutic community and is one
of the earliest experiments of its kind that raised awareness and
paved the way for further research in this area.
