The annual meeting of trustees and board
of managers of the Maine Industrial School
for Girls, was held at the office of the insttu-
ton on Wednesday, December s, for the

the transaction of the usual routine business
of the session. Report from the board of

ports from the treasurer and manager for the

road to ruin for want of care and healthful
discipline. Officers for the ensuing year
