SEVENTY YEARS OLD
Excellent Work by Refuge
WOMEN ASSISTED
Seventy years ago the South Austra-
lian Female Refuge, the annual meeting
of which was held this afternoon was
established as the outcome of a meeting
on July 16, 1856, convened by the Right
Rev. Augustus Short, first Bishop of Ade
lailde.
Although the idea emanated from an
Anglican prelate the institution is unsec-
tarian and at subsequent meetings, clergy
and ministers of almost every denomina-
tion were present and took an active
part in the deliberations.
It was resolved at the second meeting
that "an institution be formed for the
reception and reformation of fallen
women," and this resolution was amplified
later by others specifying that "the fol-
lowing are classes of women whose refor-
mation is contemplated—the fallen but
not habitually depraved and those who
have been led astray and are pursuing a
vicious life." "That the institution be
made as far as possible self-supporting
by the labor of its inmates, employed ac-
cording to their abilities, and that their
surplus earnings be accredited to each."
First Officials
These resolutions were submitted to a
public meeting on August 4, 1856, Sir
Dominic Daly (then Governor of the
State) being chairman, and it was decided
to establish the South Australian Female
Refuge.
A committee was elected comprising His
Excellency the Governor (president),
Bishop Short (vice-president), Mr. Neville
Blyth (secretary), and the following:
Capt. Bagot, Sheriff Boothby. Mr. George
Fife Angas, Dr. Duncan. Mr. William
Giles. Dr. William Gosse, Dr. Moore, Mr.
Moorhouse, Major T. S. O'Halloran, Mr.
George Tinline, and Dr. Wooldridge.
Applications were sought from "'per-
sons having suitable premises to let, with
garden ground, a well of water, and not
fewer than eight rooms." After discus-
sing the different properties submitted the
choice fell on the premises then known
as Norwood House, at the corner of Wil-
liam street and Sydenham road, Norwood.
The refuge has thus occupied the same
site since its inception.
The first matron was Mrs. Burt, who
was strongly recommended by the Rev.
A. R. Russell (afterward Dean of Ade
laide).
Congenial Surroundings
On l)ecember 19, 1856, the first inmates
aere admitted and during the first year
20 women were housed, seven of whom
were less than 20 and two less than 17
years old.
Mr. Neville Blyth was succeeded in the
office of secretary by Mr. G. W. Hawkes,
who died in 1908 and left a bequest to
the refuge. Canon Andrews was the next
secretary, and after him came Mr. Paul
T. Scott. who held the position for 25
years. The present secretary is Mr. F.
Smith, Church Office. Leigh street.
The refuge helps any girl to face the
consequences of her action; it provides a
home and congenial surroundings, above
all, a healthy spiritual atmosphere that
means much to girls in their effort to
take hold upon themselves and make the
past failure a stepping-stone to true
womanhood.
The regular life of the refuge, its regu-
lar work—constant, but not too heavy—
the association with others, and the care
of little children make an environment in
which the best that is the young
women is called out and developed.
