PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS. 211

PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.

Hospital for Consumptives of Maryland, Mudowood, Baltimore
County, Maryland—Receives from State for maintenance, $10,000 for
1909 and $10,000 for 1910; for buildings, $5,000. Its purpose is to
provide care and proper treatment for those suffering from consump-
tion. This is a disease now recognized by medical men as one requir-
ing treatment in a hospital especially provided for such patients. The
need of such an institution is most obvious. These unfortunates are
in most cases incurable (as their malady is infectious), and are not
received in other hospitals. Apply to superintendent of institution
for particulars.

Maryland Hospital for the Insane, Catonsville, Maryland—Receives
from State for maintenance, $38,000 and $3,000 for insurance for 1909
and $38,000 for maintenance for 1910. The hospital cares for patients,
both from the counties and the city of Baltimore. Nothing is re-
ceived at the hospital, except through the counties and the city, who
pay at the rate of $150.00 a year for each patient, and the appropria-
tion from the State. The city of Baltimore and each of the counties
are entitled to so many patients, according to the population. Ad-
mission is obtained by the certificates of two physicians, according to
the law, and by order of the court. Communications should be ad-
dressed to Mr. Arthur D. Foster, Secretary, Catonsville, Maryland.

Springfield State Hospital, Sykesville, Maryland—Receives for 1909,
maintenance, $60,000; insurance, $1,500; sewers, $6,000; buildings,

$30,000, and for deficiency, $2,318.86. For 1910, $15,000 for mainte-
nance and deficiency, $2,318,86. In return for the above support the
institution furnishes fifty-two scholarships as follows: One from
each county of the State and each Senatorial District of Baltimore

School Board of Baltimore city, upon competitive examination suit-
able public notice thereof. For more specific information relating to
scholarships, address the president of the college.

Man/land Agricultural Experimental Station, College Park, Maryland
—Receives from State, $5,000 for 1909 and $5,000 for 1910. The ex-
periment station concerns itself primarily in making scientific inves-
tigations and adding to the knowledge connected with agriculture
in all of its departments, and after collecting and codifying this in-
formation it is sent out to the public in the form of bulletins, free of
charge, to the farmers of the State. This information has been most
satisfactory in raising the standard of farming throughout the State.
These bulletins issued from the station are sent out in large issue at
