A fine copy. 2006 Stapled Binding. 23 pp. "A century after the establishment of the Industrial School of Rochester, (which became Rochester Children's Nursery, today Rochester Childfirst Network), the Democrat & Chronicle recalled "A class of neglected, destitute.lawless children existed. They roamed the alleys of the town, they pilfered and begged. They were children, who were unable to attend public schools and who had no moral or religious training." The city of Rochester was scarcely two decades old when civic-minded women noticed that these children were without direction or support. In the fall of 1856 Mrs. Ebenezer Griffin visited an industrial school in Brooklyn, making note of how it might serve as a model for the growing city in western New York. Mrs. Ebenezer Griffin, Mrs. David C. Alling, Mrs. Henry A. Brewster, Mrs. Alfred Ely, Mrs. George Ely, Mrs. Gilman Perkins, Mrs. Edwin Scrantom and Mrs. Seth Terry established the Industrial School of Rochester.
