EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the Maryhill Industrial School for Girls in Glasgow, Scotland, circa 1924. The Maryhill Industrial School was established in the late 19th century to provide care and support for destitute, neglected, and orphaned girls in the area. At the time, the school was one of several institutions run by the Glasgow Corporation's Poor Department, which aimed to provide shelter, education, and training to children in need. The girls at the Maryhill Industrial School were typically between the ages of 7 and 14, and they lived in the institution until they were old enough to be apprenticed out or placed in domestic service. The school offered a range of services, including education, vocational training, and religious instruction. The girls were clothed, fed, and housed, and they were expected to follow a strict routine of work, study, and prayer. Despite the challenging circumstances of their lives, the girls at the Maryhill Industrial School were not forgotten. The institution received support from various charities and organizations, and the girls were often treated to outings and other forms of recreation. The photograph shows the school in all its grandeur, with its imposing red-brick facade and tall, arched windows. The girls who lived here may have faced hardships, but they were surrounded by a community of caring adults who worked to ensure their wellbeing. Today, the Maryhill Industrial School is a reminder of a bygone era, when institutions like this played a crucial role in providing care and support to vulnerable children. While much has changed in the way we approach child welfare, the need for compassionate and effective services for children in need remains as important as ever.
