At St. Bruno, near Montreal, lies the Girls' Cottage School, built and financed by the Department of Social Welfare and of Youth of the Province of Quebec, and assisted by the Welfare Federation of Montreal. To this pleasant institution, emotionally disturbed girls between the ages of 11 and 17 are sent by the courts for help in growing into useful adult citizens. Here they are given the guidance they need in a friendly atmosphere.
