this State.

WHEREAS, the members of the General Assembly of Maryland are

WHEREAS, among these problems is the need for a definitive state-
ment of the lines of authority as between the Department of Public
Welfare and the several Boards of Managers; and

may be resulting in overlapping administration and weaknesses in
operating details; and

ployees; and

effort should be made to ascertain and correct the administrative,
procedural and personnel problems affecting the Barrett School for
