1874.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 89

These meetings, with two exceptions, have been held at the
Institution, and at each a detailed statement of its affairs has
been exhibited, and an examination made into the general
conduct and condition of the household. It is to be regretted
that the income of the Institution has not been sufficient to-
pay expenses, but the generous contributions of friends has
enabled us to make up the deficiency—the amount of which
will be seen by the following statement:

This Report is most respectfully submitted to you, and
through you to the General Assembly and people of Mary-
land, with the confident belief that the results are not over-
stated, and that this brief presentation of them will command
the thoughtful attention and secure the co-operation and sur-
port of our fellow-citizens.
