Annual reports [Massachusetts Youth Service Board]
Scope and Content: In Massachusetts, as of 1880, Trustees of the State Primary and Reform Schools (i.e, the State Primary School at Monson, the State Reform School at Westborough, and the State Industrial School for Girls at Lancaster) replaced the primary school inspectors and the other individual trustee boards. In 1895, after the abolition of the primary school, the board was renamed the Trustees of the Lyman (following a 1884 reform school name change) and Industrial Schools. In 1911, the board was merged with trustees of the Industrial School for Boys at Shirley (founded 1908) to form the Trustees of Massachusetts Training Schools. The trustee boards had been placed successively under the State Board of Health, Lunacy, and Charity (1879), State Board of Lunacy and Charity (1886), State Board of Charity (1898), and Dept. of Public Welfare (1919). In 1948 the trustee board was replaced by the Youth Service Board, and as of 1952 jurisdiction over the individual institutions was delegated to a Division of Youth Service. The board and division were abolished in 1969, to be succeeded by the Bureau of of Institutional Services of the Dept. of Youth Services.
