The board of directors shall have power to bind out such girls committed to their care as apprentices to the time said girls shall arrive at twenty-one years of age, to learn some proper trade, business or calling, on such terms as will be advantageous to such girls: but such girls so bound out, are to be bound only to those whose characters are above reproach, and within the State.
The master shall bind himself with good security to pay the amount, if any thing above the maintenance of said child, and it shall be paid to the girl when she arrives at twenty-one years of age, or sooner if she marries.
The board shall not bind out any girl under the provisions of this act, unless the master comply with the conditions thereof.
