The Board of Trustees Of the "Industrial
School for Girls" have decided to accept the
nunihcent gifts Of Mrs. Flagg and Mrs. Dunn
mer Of Ilallowell, and locate the Institution
in that city. They also voted to ask the Leg
:sla;uve to authorize the Governor to draw his
warrant from time to time 20 meet the ex-
penses of the school, when in operation, for
SUMS not exceeding $4,000 in die aggregate,
ard TO pass an act authorizing Judges and
tTrial justices to commit certain girls between
the ages Of eight and fifteen years TO the
school, when the Governor shall give notice
that proper arrangements have been complet-
ed for their reception. There can he no
doubt Of the success Of this movement, and
early arrangements will be inauguTated to
place the Institution on Il working basis
While the State has done so much for the Re-
form School for Boys and other State Insti-
tutions, it may reasonably be expected that the
Legislature will at once make suitable pro-
visions for carrying out successfully the plans
and purposes Of this most humane and PHI
lanthropic enterprise. There has been a
pressing necessity for just such an institution
as this in the State for many years; but until
the present time no systematic plan has been
devised whereby funds could be obtained
without involving the State in larger expen-
diture than majority of the people might
consider justifablc. There are hundreds Of
girls in the State who might be saved from
want, suffering and perhaps crime, through
School. 1t would not be considered as
the bene1cent influence Of such an Industrial
place of punishment for crimes committed ;
bat rather home, where habits of virtue, in
dustry and study would fit the inmates to 90
forth into society a. the proper time and find
field for honorable, useful and remuneratiye
employment. We see no reason why the
School when established on firm basis,
should no: lie in measure self-sus,aining
There are many branches of industry that
might he successfully pursued by tie inmates ;
thus contributing in 10 small degree towards
defraying the general expenses of the Insti-
tution and it is bat reasonable to hope there
are other benevolent ladies as well as gentle
men in the State, who will follow the example
of our iIallowell ladies, by contributing lib
orally of their abundant means for the pro.
motion of an object eminently worthy, and
SO imperatively demanded by the spirit of the
age in which we live.
