From Wikipedia
Cantonists (Russian: кантонисты; more properly: военные кантонисты, "military cantonists") were underage sons of conscripts in the Russian Empire. From 1721 on they were educated in special "cantonist schools" (Кантонистские школы) for future military service (the schools were called garrison schools in the 18th century). The cantonist schools and the cantonist system were eventually abolished in 1857, following public and international criticism and the Russian defeat in the Crimean War. The Russian state used the cantonist system as a means to induce the assimilation of its ethnic minority populations, particularly Jews, who were markedly over-represented within the schools.
