THE MALE FREE School OF BALTIMORE. I've
have the ffty-ninth annual report of the Trustees
of this venerable charity 1t is under the charge of
Mr.. Thomas Gale, and his daughter, Miss NJ A.
Gale The scope of the Institution is not confined,
might be inferred from its title, to the grautous
instruction of boys only. More than third of the
benefciaries are girls. At present, the relative
numbers are-bOyS, 207; girls ll3-makinr in all
800 free sch GLARS The only permanent support of
the school is the income of three hundred dollars
per annum, arising from investments of small
amounts which have been, from time to time be
queathed to it. The ten thousand dollars devised
by the late Miss COlvin, have never been received
by the Trustees, in consequence of the prOtracted
litigation in which her estate has been involved.
The Trustees commend Mr.. Gale to the favorable
consideration of the public when he may solicit
tributions for the Institution under his charge.
