The General Assembly appropriated for maintenance for the years
1815 and 1916 fifteen thousand dollars each. The inmates are all colored
boys between the ages of ten and twenty-one years. Each boy is required
to attend school one-half of each day and be engaged in some industrial
work the other half. Various industries are taught, the principal one
being farming. The larger boys are carefully trained in practical farm-
ing. All the work of the farm of 1250 acres is done by the boys under
a head farmer and an assistant, the other industries in which the boys
are trained are tailoring, shoemaking, carpentry, painting, laundring,
baking, blacksmithing and broom making, others are taught to be wait-
ers. All the clothing and shoes worn by the boys, except the military
caps, are made by them.
The boys are committed by the courts and magistrates of the State
and City of Baltimore. Those coming from Baltimore are committed
mostly by the Juvenile Court. All commitments are during minority,
but are really indeterminate, as, by a parole system, a boy may earn his
parole in two years after he enters the institution.
