| 545 | |a In 1816, the Penitent Females' Refuge was formed by a group of concerned gentlemen. The first meeting was held in 1818. The Society was formed to protect and re-educated "fallen" girls and young women. The Society opened a home at 32 Rutland Street, Boston. Women who were accepted were expected to stay for two years. They had school two days a week and were also taught needlework and vocals. Housework was also done by the inmates. The women were placed in homes when they were prepared. By 1824 a women's auxiliary was begun to help defray the costs of running the home. In addition to raising and donating funds, the women visited the home to counsel, instruct, etc. the young women. The two groups worked together towards the common goal of rescuing "fallen women." In 1854, the women's auxiliary was officially incorporated into the Bethesda Society. The Penitent Females' Refuge and the Bethesda Society worked together until 1914, when they merged under the Bethesda Society's name. In 1916, they moved the refuge house to 917 Belmont Street in Watertown, after using a house on Mt. Auburn Street in Cambridge for two years. This new house was renamed the "Orchard Home School." In 1924, the Home School's purpose changed slightly: "Receives, on request of parents, courts or other social agencies, white girls preferably under the age of 17, residing in Massachusetts..." However, the work always relied on "sympathy, occupation and religious influence for reform." In 1936, the Bethesda Society changed its name to the "Orchard Home School." | ||
