Report on the committee meeting for the Girls' Industrial School

The Daily Inter Ocean reported on developments from the Girls’ Industrial School that several local women, including Myra Bradwell, helped manage. The school offered classes to teach girls skills that they would need for the workforce, since women were getting more jobs at the time.
