Decades of Caring: The Big Sister Story Book

Decades of Caring: The Big Sister Story is a record of the trials, errors, and accomplishments of an organization of Toronto women who have carried a torch for youth through good years and bad from 1912 to the present time. The author has endeavoured to set out those facts which have shaped the growth of the Big Sister Association from a small group of concerned women, inspired by th emotional concept of being a Big Sister to socially deprived young persons, to the present day organization which sponsors the many faceted youth agency, Huntley Youth Services.
