Summary Annotation <p>&#8220;So often a long-awaited book is disappointing. Happily such is not the case with Sutherland&#8217;s masterpiece.&#8221; Robert M. Stamp, University of Calgary, in <i>The Canadian Historical Review</i></p><p>&#8220;Sutherland&#8217;s work is destined to be a landmark in Canadian history, both as a first in its particular field and as a standard reference text.&#8221; J. Stewart Hardy, University of Alberta, in <i>Alberta Journal of Educational Research</i></p><p>Such were the reviewers&#8217; comments when Neil Sutherland&#8217;s groundbreaking book was first published. Now reissued in Wilfrid Laurier University Press&#8217;s new series &#8220;Studies in Childhood and Family in Canada,&#8221; with a new introduction by series editor Cynthia Comacchio, this book remains relevant today. In the late nineteenth century a new generation of reformers committed itself to a program of social improvement based on the more effective upbringing of all children. In <i>Children in English-Canadian Society</i>, Neil Sutherland examines, with a keen eye, the growth of the public health movement and its various efforts at improving the health of children.</p>
