1868.] OF THE SENATE. 517 agers, and the State can have no worthier beneficiary; and they confidently appeal to your kind sympathy, knowing that you will not turn them empty-handed away. Your Committee ask for a special appropriation of $1,500 to assist them in their mission of doing the young infinite good. THE HEBREW ASYLUM. This beneficent institution has lately been founded by, and 18 under the supervision of a number of zealous ladies of the Hebrew faith. They have succeeded by their indefatigable exertions in erecting a magnificent building, on the most approved plan, embracing all the modern improvements of heating, ventilation, &c. In very rare instances does this thrifty and energetic class of the community become a tax upon the State, and scarce a member of that religious persua- sion can befound in any reformatory or charitable institution which is a beneficiary of the State. The management of the establishment is not intended to be partial or sectional in its character, but the doors are to be thrown open to all worthy applicants of any denomina- tion. They are still some $17,000 in debt, and appeal to the State for pecuniary aid. It affords the Committee much pleasure to present the claims of this liberal and benevolent institution, to your Honorable Bodies, as unusually merito- rious and worthy of the most generous support. We cheerfully recommend an appropriation of $5,000. ST. MARY'S INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Is located some two miles from the City of Baltimore, on or near the Frederick road. The school is now conducted in temporary buildings ; but a very imposing new structure is incourse of erection, built of granite, 134 feet front, and 62 feet deep, upon which, in connection with the improve- ment of the grounds, (100 acres, donated by the late Mrs. Emily MacTavish,) $50,000, raised entirely byprivate dona- tions, have already been expended, and it is estimated that it will require at least $30,000 more to complete and put the institution in working condition. There are now 47 boys from different parts of the State cared for in the temporary buildings, and being instructed in the different mechanical arts, and becoming quite proficient as carpenters, shoe- makers and tailors, as well as farmers and gardeners. The new building, when finished, which result is hoped to be attained during the coming summer, will accommodate 300 boys. The object of the institution is to protect orphans and children of dissolute parents from vicious company, keep them from the streets of the city, and rear them morally and physically, so that hereafter they may become useful mem- bers of society. |
