Governor appoints two annually in the month of February. (Bag..
by Code, Art. 27, Sec. 553.)

The inmates are all colored boys between the ages of ten and twen-
ty-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 farming. All the work of the
farm of 1,250 acres is done by the boys under a head farmer andn
assistant, the other industries in which the boys are trained are tailor-
ing, shoemaking, carpentry, painting, laundring, baking, blacksmithing
and broom making others are taught to be waiters. All the clothing
and shoes worn by the boys, except 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.

eighteen years, as shall be taken up and committed as street beggars
or vagrants, or shall be convicted of criminal offences against the laws
of the State and has power to bind out these girls committed to their
care as apprentices until they reach the age of eighteen years, whether
in or out of this State, and to teach them such proper trades or em-
ployments as in the judgment of the managers will be most conducive
to their reformation.
