Baltimore Adrian Hughes .........................................Baltimore The Governor appoints five for two years from first Monday in May. (Ch. 35,1908.) St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys of the city of Baltimore was incorporated in 1866. It is situated in the western part of the city on Wilkens, Caton and Union avenues, This school is under the personal management of the Xaverian Brothers, a body of men who devote ther lives to the education of boys and young men. Brother Paul is the present Superintendent, and all communications should be addressed to him. The State of Maryland appropriates $50,000 annually towards the maintenance of the boys sent to the school from the various counties of the State. The wards of the city of Baltimore are paid for by the city at the rae of $10 per month. The time is so divided that study, work and recreation help to develop the whole boy and brng out all that is good in him. The principal trades taught are printing, tailoring, baking, carpentering, painting, shoemaking, farming, dairying, etc. If a boy does not fol- low in after-life what he has learned at the school he has at least been taught how to work and that is a great point gained towards future success. Music, both vocal and instrumental, is given an important place in the curriculum. The efficiency the boys attain in this art is evidenced by the renditions of the bands. Boys are admitted between the age of eight and twenty-one. |
