ORLEANS
The Western New York State House of Refuge for Women will open at Albion
next Monday with MRS MARY R. BOYD, superintendent; S.G. Nott, steward;
Lewis Stark, weather engineer; Mrs. Meldrum, prison matron; Mrs Dr
Harriet N. Watson, medical adviser, and a corps of assistants. There
will be many radical and important improvements over other institutions
of the kind in its management by MRS BOYD, who is thoroughly experienced
in the work. One of them will be the privilege of girls in the refuge to
sit at table meal times, instead of food being passed to them in their
cells. Some of the work may be outlined as follows: The matron of the
hospital has charge of the sick under the direction of the medical
adviser, and the matron of the main building will direct and supervise
the housekeeping department, give orders for supplies and dispense them
where needed.Both matrons are under the direction of the superintendent.
The steward directs and governs engineers, watchmen, stablemen, orders
supplies, and does other business called for in his office. A record is
to be kept of the conduct and industry of every girl in the institution
and when promotion is won, larger liberties are granted with better
advantages in school and other ways. There will be drills, calisthenics,
and entertainments. Regular religious service will be conducted.
