Miss Berry and the Boys Industrial School at Rome
James A Hall recounts how Miss Martha Berry founded the Boys Industrial School two miles from Rome to educate poor country boys in practical skills. Starting in a log cabin with Sunday readings, the program grew from a small facility opened January 1, 1902 to a wider effort teaching farming, trades, business, and social conduct to prepare youths for daily life.
