Blind men and women are admitted to the workshop for training.
It has been customary to pay the men a handicap of $3.00 per week
during the period of training. This amount, after one year, is gradu-
ally reduced and the workmen placed on a piece payment basis.

The Workshop is a training school for the adult blind of the State
as well as a place of employment for those who have become trained
workmen. It is, in no sense a home, as those under training or em-
ployment do not live there, but go from their homes or boarding places
each day, just as do seeing persons who work in factories, etc.

The building in which the shop operates was purchased by the
Maryland School for the Blind at no cost to the State, the funds to
pay for it having been raised by public subscription.

eighteen years, as shall be taken up and committed as street beggars
or vagrants, or shall be convicted of criminal offenses against the laws
of the State and has power to bind out these girls committed to their
care as apprentices until they reach the age of eighteen years, whether
