Eighty Thousand Adolescents, originally published in 1950,
illustrated by maps, photographs and diagrams, describes and
interprets the results of a study of the young people of
Birmingham. This study was made by the staff and students of
Westhill Training College, under the direction of Bryan Reed, Youth
Tutor. Visits were paid to some hundreds of youth organizations,
and answers to a series of questions were given by over a thousand
young people, both 'attached' and 'unattached'. Some of the
questions to which the investigators set out to find answers were:
In what kind of homes are young people growing up? How do they earn
their living? How many take advantage of opportunities for further
education? How do they spend their leisure? - and their pocket
money? What do they read? What are their emotional, intellectual,
spiritual and social needs? and how far do Education Authorities,
Clubs, Churches, etc. meets these needs? In his summing-up Mr. Reed
calls attention to the need for imaginative and instructed
leadership, for a sense of purpose in the Youth Service, and for
the integration of this Service in the wider life of the community.
Today it is a fascinating look back at adolescent life in post-war
Britain.
