1314 ARTICLE 27

two years, five persons to represent said State and city, respectively, in the
board of trustees of sard institution.

The fact that the Governor and mayor of Baltimore each appoint every two years
three persons to represent the state and city in the board of trustees of Saint Mary's
Industrial School for Boys in no manner changes the nature of the institution, or
makes it a municipal agency. Such trustees do not control the institution nor are they
clothed with any state or municipal authority beyond their mere appointment; they
cannot be controlled in the exercise of powers and duties of their office. Saint Mary's
School is entirely separate from and independent of the city of Baltimore in all cor-
porate action and control. Saint Mary's School v. Brown, 45 Md. 329.

738. The board of, trustees may, from time to time, make such by-
laws, ordinances and regulations relative to the management, government,
instruction, discipline, employment and disposition of the minors in said
institution, not contrary to law, and establish such regulations respecting
the religious and. moral education, training, employment, discipline and
safe keeping of its inmates, as may be deemed expedient and proper.

739. In addition to the classes of minors who may be committed to said
St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys of the City of Baltimore; any jus-
tice of the peace of this State may commit to the care of said corporation
every such white male minor as on complaint of any parent, guardian or
next friend in whose custody such minor may be, and on proof taken before
such justice, shall be adjudged by such justice to be a proper subject for
commitment to said institution by reason of the incorrigible or vicious
conduct of such minor, and because of such incorrigible or vicious conduct
to be beyond the control of: such parent, guardian or next friend; and any
justice of the peace may commit to the care and custody of said corpora-
tion any white male minor whom said justice, on complaint and due proof,
shall deem a proper subject to be committed to said institution because of
incorrigible or vicious conduct; provided, the said justice shall be satis-
fied, on proof taken before him, that the parent, guardian or next friend,
in whose charge or custody such minor may be, is, because of moral de-
pravity or otherwise, unable or unwilling to exercise proper care or disci-
pline over such minor; and the said corporation is hereby authorized and
empowered to receive, take charge of and retain and to bind out as ap-
prentices during minority to learn such useful trades or callings as such
minors, with the approval of said corporation may select, all such white
male minors of either of the descriptions aforesaid as are now or shall
hereafter be in the charge of said corporation by virtue of any such commit-
ments by any justice of the peace heretofore or hereafter made.
