| Requirements for Admission |
| Any boy of good moral character, normal physically and mentally, between the ages of six and fifteen is eligible to admission to the Andrew Drumm Institute. Boys between the ages of ten and fourteen years are given preference. Preference is also given to orphans and to boys with not more than one living parent. His only living parent must be financially unable to care for him or to put him through school. After a probation period of thirty days or longer, has elapsed, the Andrew Drumm Institute will assume absolute legal custody of each boy. The boy must accept this assumption of custody of his own free will and his parent or legal guardian must agree to such procedure at the time of his acceptance at the Institute. Appropriate orders will be from Judges of the Juvenile or Probate Court as the case may be. No boy is accepted without careful consideration of his former school and behavior records. From the time of his acceptance he is supported entirely at the expense of the Institute. Clothing, money or gifts other than those of a personal nature are to be received only with the consent of the superintendent. All applicants for admission may apply directly to the Andrew Drumm Institute or to any member of the Board of Trustees.
