49. Rosewood State Training School, a corporation duly incorporated
by the act of 1888, chapter 183, under the name of " The Visitors of the
Asylum and Training School for the Feeble-Minded of the State of Mary-
land," with the powers and duties in said act specified and organized
thereunder, shall receive, care for and educate, free of charge, all idiotic,
imbecile and feeble-minded persons of this State whom the board of
visitors shall consider proper subjects to receive the benefit of said asylum
and training school, who shall present a certificate of the orphans' court
or county commissioners of the city or county in which such persons re-
spectively reside, and they, their parents or guardians are unable to pay
for their maintenance and education in whole or in part; and in case such
persons, or any of them, their parents or guardians, are able to pay for
such maintenance and education in part, then said visitors shall be at
liberty to charge so much as they shall find such persons, their parents or
guardians are severally able to pay towards such maintenance and educa-
tion; but where such persons, their parents or guardians, are able to pay
in full, the said visitors are permitted to charge such reasonable amount
as will cover the expense for the maintenance and education of each per-
son so able to pay; and said visitors shall also be authorized to receive
feeble-minded children from other States and the District of Columbia,
when there is ample room in said institution for the same, upon such terms
and conditions as the board of visitors shall approve; and all moneys so
received for board and tuition shall be applied in the maintenance of said
institution; and all such idiotic, imbecile or feeble-minded persons who
have been, or who shall hereafter be received into said institution free of
charge, upon the presentation of a certificate of the orphans' court or
county commissioners shall be taken and regarded as wards of the State
of Maryland, and all such persons shall remain in the care, custody and
control of the visitors of said institution, and the visitors of said institu-
tion are hereby authorized to retain all such persons in their care, custody
and control at said institution, until such time as in the judgment of said
visitors, or a majority of them, the welfare of such persons and the pub-
lic interest shall justify or call for their release or discharge therefrom,
unless otherwise discharged by due process of law.

As to the Maryland and Springfield Hospitals, see art. 44.

1 Formerly known as Maryland Asylum and Training School for Feeble-Minded, but
name changed by ch. 187, act, 1912.
