Excerpt from Account of the Proceedings at the Inauguration of the State Industrial School for Girls, at Lancaster, Aug: 27, 1856; With Addresses by H. B. Rogers, Esq. Hon. G. S. Boutwell and Others

We have already mentioned the name of Mr. Peirce, the Superintendent, who resides with his family in one of the wooden houses. The Farmer, Mr. A. E. Boynton, resides in another. The two Matrons already appointed are Mrs. C. M. S. Carpenter and Mrs. Mary M. Willard.

For a chapel for the Institution, a small church, standing in the village of South Lancaster, has been purchased, and will be moved to the grounds. There are handsome bookcases in the workrooms, and the beginning of a library; but we should think the donation of books might be acceptable.

Excerpt from Account of the Proceedings at the Inauguration of the State Industrial School for Girls, at Lancaster, Aug: 27, 1856; With Addresses by H. B. Rogers, Esq. Hon. G. S. Boutwell and Others

In accordance with previous appointment, the ceremonies of the inauguration of the State Industrial School (originally called the State Reform School) for Girls, at Lancaster, took place on Wednesday. The weather was delightful, - it was a magnificent latter-August day: there was a clear sky and atmosphere, and a bright sun, without the least uncomfortable heat or disagreeable chilliness. The fine old town of Lancaster appeared to great advantage as seen by the visitors, who were attracted, some of them for the first time, within its borders, by their interest in the proposed ceremonies. The beautiful interval, covered with a luxurious verdure; the grand old trees; and the intelligent and hospitable people, - created a most favorable impression. And in the crowded annals of the town, which for two centuries has known many good deeds, we doubt if any day will present a brighter page in the local history than the 27th of August, 1856.
