By Barry M. Coldrey

The Scheme is an important and timely work. It is important because it examines in a scholarly way the involvement of the Christian Brothers in childcare in Western Australia.

The appearance of this work is particularly timely. The public has become aware that some mistakes were made in the past and some abuses occurred in the institutions. Almost all critics have taken a hostile view of the Brothers. It is time that the whole question of children in residential care, especially child migrants, be researched and written by a trained historian, a researcher who brings the necessary skills and objectivity to this long and complex story. 

The Scheme is available direct for $32.95 (including GST) plus post.

(Case bound and jacketed, 464 pages of text and historical photographs.)
