The object of this association is the im- provement of the religions, intellectual, so- cial and temporal welfare of women in this city, especially young women. To those who are supporting themselves here away from their home, its open and free reading- rooms and sociables, afford pleasant recrea-
tion and rest, and an opportunity is thus afforded them for making acquaintances and friends.
Pastors and parents in other towns would help the work by giving to their young women, coming to Springfield for employ- ment, letters of introduction to this society; assistance in finding suitable boarding- houses and employment is given, and also attention in sickness.
A prayer-meeting is held every Tuesday at 3 p. M., and the remainder of the day de- voted to making garments for the poor.
A children's sewing-school meets at its rooms on Saturday afternoon ; the object of this school is the instruction of young girls in sewing. Materials are furnished, and such garments as are made by the pupils are given them ; the average number of the pupils is about fifty.
Applications for watchers for the sick should be made to Mrs. J. T. Chapman, 30 Bliss st., or Miss A. P. Gilbert, 51 Court st.
Women wishing employment, also those desiring to procure help, can receive aid by applying at the rooms in Barnes's Block, where some members may be found each day, from 12 o'clock noon to 2 P. M., for the purpose of assisting young women to obtain good boarding places or employment in good families.
Homes for Friendless Women and Children.
These two institutions were formerly con- ducted under one roof, at No. 62 Union street, a corporation for this purpose having been organized in 1865, by ladies interested in the reform of fallen women, the relief of the needy and the care of destitnte children. The number of inmates increased so rapidly, however, that in the course of a few years it became necessary to provide another es- tablishment, and in 1871 the Home for Chil- dren was built on Buckingham street ; since which time the house on Union street has been used for the reception of adults only, or for mothers with infants.
The institutions have continued under the direction of the same corporation, which is composed of sixty ladies, representing all the different religious societies of the city.
The government is vested in a Board of Managers, consisting of thirty ladies, chosen
48
SPRINGFIELD CITY DIRECTORY.
annually by the corporation from their own number. An advisory committee of seven gentlemen is also annually appointed by the same, whom the managers consult in respect to all intricate questions.
A meeting of the Board of Managers is held at the Homes alternately, once in two weeks, on Friday afternoons, notice of which is always given in the morning paper of that date.
The annual meeting of the corporation occurs on the second Wednesday of Octo- ber. The officers for the present year are as follows : President, Mrs. Solyman Mer- rick ; vice-presidents, Mrs. Horace Kibbe and Mrs. Gordon Bill; clerk, Mrs. Alex. B. Forbes ; treasurer, Mrs. Heman Smith ; corresponding secretary, Mrs. John R. Hix- on ; auditor, Mr. Charles Marsh. The Union street Home was purchased by the corporation for $5,000.
The cost of the Children's Home was $16,000, both of which amonnts were raised by the subscriptions of our citizens, aided somewhat by those of the neighboring towns.
The current expenses of the institutions have been met through the same source, a generons response being always made to the annual solicitations of the managers, while the adjacent towns have never forgotten their contributions to the same good cause.
Applications for admission to either Home may be made to the board of managers at their regular meetings, or to the officers of the institutions at any other time.
The Public Schools.
Superintendent, A. P. Stone. Office, City Ilall ; office hours, 12 to 1 p. M., during school days, and from 10 to 12 on Saturdays.
There are 109 teachers employed in our public schools, and 12 in evening schools. The number of pupils in the day schools the past year was 5,877, and in evening and draughiting schools, 486. The total value of school-houses and lots in the city is $550,000, and a large su is expended annually for improvements and repairs, to keep the schools up to their present standard. Yet by common consent, the money yields hand- some returns, even according to a mere pecuniary view of the matter. For many people are induced to come here and settle,
because of the attractive, well-furnished school-buildings and neat yards, and espe- cially because of the superior educational advantages the children may have here. There are no vacant school-rooms, except in remote districts. From the north and south portions of the city, as well as from the cen- ter, there is a call for more room. It is certainly a healthful sign. There are also a few hundred pupils in private schools. But the instruction given in our public schools is so thorough, and the training so excellent, that the attendance is not likely to be diminished by any rival efforts.
Except on Worthington and Central streets, each of the large school-houses is occupied by a Grammar school, divided into several grades, as the different attainments of the pupils require. Around this, in the smaller old school-honses, are the primary schools of the group. On Worthington and Central streets, the grammar school and primaries are in one building.
Children beginning in the primary school in four years are prepared for the grammar school; here they study five years, rising through successive grades to the High School, where, in four years more, they are fitted for college, the seminary, or for busi- ness, and so well fitted that Yale, Harvard, and the other colleges readily admit our pupils, and sometimes into advanced classes.
There is one ungraded school, and to this the truant officers, by kind and judicious efforts, gather many children who would otherwise lose the advantages of education. The truant school is at the almshouse.
In the High school, scientific subjects re- ceive more attention than formerly. Appa- ratus valued at $3,500 is provided for in- struetion in philosophy and chemistry ; and lectures connected with these branches are given every Friday afternoon. There are also two free draughting-schools, one on State street and one at Indian Orchard, in both of which there are 132 pupils.
Below will be found the location of the different schools and names of teachers :
