present on the occasion.
STATE Reform School AT w EsTBoRo.-
The twenty-lourth annual report of the board of
trustees and superintendent states that the num-
Der of boys in the school, October /, 1869, was
295; since committed, 80; received from school
ship, A; returned by visiting agent, IS; returned
voluntarily, %; returned by master, 10; re-
turned by officers, D; returned by parents 6;
whole number in school during the year. Al
apprenticed and on trial, lis; released on pro-
baton, "a; transferred to Monson primary
school, 6; eloped, 10; died, 2; discharged, .;
transferred 10 scholarship, 4; remaining in
school, October !, 1870, POI. There has been a
ess number of boys admitted during The past
year than formerly, owing to the new policy of
the state, which authorizes tue visiting agent of
the board of state charities to receive them from
the several probate courts and procure places
for them in private families instead of sending
them to this school. The report of the treasurer
shows the receipts from the state treasurer to be
S4S,052; for labor of boys, 81, 40S; for sales from
farm and gardens, s8,O96; for sale of sundries,
500; from cities and towns for support of boys,
S7,765. Total receipts, SOS, APP; total cxpendi-
lures, s4S,O5O.
STATE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT LANCASTER.
The superintendent of the state industrial school
for girls at Lancaster, reports the number in the
institution Oct. /, 1863, as 1879; received upon
commitment during the year, A received upon
return from indenture during the year, %; re-
ceived upon return from places of service II;
whole number during the year, 222; number
present 0ct.i, 1870, 143; indentured during the
year and not returned, Il; supplied with places,
over eighteen years of age, Is; dismissed TO
friends at their request, 4; dismissed 10 friends,
Mt eighteen years OF age, A.; discharged as I'M
suitable g. delivered to board of state charities,
1; escaped, Il; deceased, /; number of linden
lures during the year, (soI being twice nden-
tured), Sd. The board of trustees say in refer
ence to the subject of female trustees: "At first
sight it would seem very natural that school
for girls should have female trustees, but there
are reasons for believing that the present arrange
ment of male trustees, assisted by an advisory
board of women, is better. The houses are al
ready under the charge Of women who, from
conservation to the work, are better fitted to full
I'll the trust than any Of whatever social posi-
tion Or intellectual power, who might be found
willing TO give to it little time and little
thought taken from the legitimate duties of
their households. There are duties also deyolv-
ing upon the trustees, some of which ladies
would find extremely disagreeable, and others
which they would be unable to perform. Our
reasons for Directing to change in the admins
tration of the school have been so weighty as
to prevail with the committee of the legislature
for two consecutive years, although every argu-
ment masculine and feminine, was urged in its
favor
