TRAINING SCHOOL FOR
GIRLS ASKS STATE TO
PROVIDE THEM FARM

Directors OF the Maryland Industrial
Training School for Girls. one OF the
most useful institutions taken under
State control will appear before the
Joint committee of Finance and Ways
and Means, when hearings are granted
to urge al appropriation of $250,000 90
toward The purchase. equipment and
maintenance al q farm for the use. OF
this school
1 is now located at Carey and Baker
streets. Baltimore, and the buildings,
as well as the location, are WIDELY
unsuitable for their purposes. There
are now cared for nearly 100 girls,
committed to the institution by the
courts. If these are to receive the
care and attention required TO wean
them from an undesirable life. the
State must furnish the means and the
surroundings.
Governor Ritchie's attention has
been directed to the Importance of
making the environment more attract
i've if satisfactory results are to be
obtained. and he has promised TO give
the matter consideration
A reformatory situated as is the
present home is not conclusive to the
redemption of hayward girls What is
required is the freedom of the country,
and lifting the nervous strain under
which they have lived.
The plan is to acquire farm with
cottages. where gardening. stock and
poultry raising can be carried on.
Under existing conditions the man
ayers have done remarkably Well, but
they are handicapped This is the only
State institution for the care and up
lift of hayward white girls and de-
serves encouragement
The endorsement OF the voters of the
State is desired.
The institution is managed by the
following: Isaac S. Field, president;
Mrs. Charles NJ Ellicott. vice-presi-
dent; Joseph Ulman. treasurer; Mrs.
