72 MARYLAND MANUAL.
The Maryland Workshop for the Blind, located 601 N. Fulton Ave.,
Baltimore, was founded by an Act of the Legislature of 1908, Chapter
566.
It is governed by a Board of Directors, three members of which
are appointed by the Governor and two by the Board of Directors of
the Maryland School for the Blind.
The Board, under the law, is made a body corporate with power to
employ a secretary and other necessary employees and fix their com
pensation.
It has been the custom for the Board to elect a Superintendent and
the other employees, including a manager; teachers, janitor, etc., are
chosen by the Superintendent, with the approval of the Board of Di-
rectors.
Blind men and women are admitted to the workshop for training.
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
ploymen do not live there, but go from their homes or boarding places
each (lay, 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.
