MARYLAND MANUAL 47
Montebello State Hospital in Baltimore City (1953), and
Western Maryland State Hospital in Washington County
(1957). Pine Bluff State Hospital (taken over by the State
in 1928) is used for the treatment of tuberculosis. A 300-
bed addition to Mt. Wilson State Hospital in Baltimore
County has more than doubled its capacity for persons
afflicted by tuberculosis and other airway-obstructive
diseases.
The Maryland Psychiatric Research Center was opened
on October 1, 1968 in a new building constructed on the
grounds of the Spring Grove State Hospital. Its purpose is
to serve as a center and hospital for psychiatric research
and to coordinate research activities at the various State
mental hospitals with those of private research organiza-
tions. It also offers training in research to graduate and post-
graduate students in psychiatry and behavioral sciences.
Juvenile Services
In 1955, the Department of Public Welfare, now the Social
Services Administration, started an experiment in the re-
habilitation of delinquent youth. In cooperation with the
Department of Forests and Parks, it opened a forestry camp
at Green Ridge near Flintstone to which boys could be sent
from the Training Schools to work on conservation projects.
The success of Green Ridge led to the opening of four other
camps, all located in Western Maryland. In addition, the
Department established the Maryland Children's Center in
Baltimore County near Arbutus in 1959, and the Thomas
J. S. Waxter Children's Center in Anne Arundel County,
near Laurel in 1963. Children adjudged delinquent by the
courts are sent to one or the other of the Centers to be
studied for not more than thirty days and then returned to
the courts with recommendations. On July 1, 1967, the
newly-created State Department of Juvenile Services, now
the Juvenile Services Administration, an agency of the
State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, assumed
responsibility for administering and coordinating the vari-
ous activities and services relating to juveniles, including
the camps and centers mentioned above.
State Buildings
As the State work force has expanded to meet the demand
for new and improved services by a growing population,
there has been created a corresponding need for additional
office space. In Annapolis, a new State Office Building was
dedicated in 1958 and a new State Income Tax Building
