The Maryland Workshop for the Blind, located 501 W. Fayette St.,
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 compensa-
tion.

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
Directors.

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 dur-
ing the period of training. This amount, after one year, is gradually
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 work-
men, It is, in no sense a home, as those under training or employment
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 Mary-
land School for the Blind at no cost to the State, the funds to pay for
it having been raised by public subscription.
