Department and the conditions of all charitable institutions, organi-
zations, and agencies (excepting hospitals) that receive financial
aid from the State, and recommends appropriations (Code 1951,
Art. 88A, sec. 3). All monies appropriated to institutions, organi-
zations, and agencies, excepting hospitals, are paid on a per capita
basis at the rates and subject to regulations established by the
State Board of Public Welfare (Code 1951, Art. 88A, sec. 10).
The Department administers the child care laws that regulate
child placement in Maryland. It licenses agencies and institutions
having the care and custody of minors (Code 1951, Art. 88A, sees.
19-31).
The Department controls and supervises the four State training
schools. In developing the program within each training school,
including provision for after-care supervision, the Department estab-
lishes regulations, standards of care, policies of admission, transfer,
and discharge, and may order changes in policies or management
Subject to these limitations, each of the schools is under the general
management of its Board of Managers. The Governor appoints the
nine members of each Board for terms of six years, so staggered
that the terms of at least three members expire every two years
(Code 1951, Art. 88A, sees. 32-37). The Department also adminis-
ters and supervises the three forestry camps for delinquent boys.
The Department is authorized by law to transfer to these camps
boys from either Boys' Village or the Maryland Training School
for Boys who, in its judgment, may benefit from such care (Code
1951, 1957 supp., Art. 88A, sec. 37A).
