72 MARYLAND MANUAL.
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.
