Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the State Board of Education: Of the State of Vermont To the General Assembly of the State of Vermont: The State Board of Education, created by act of the Legislature of 1908 and to which was committed the duties discharged previously by the State Board of Normal School Commissioners, herewith submits its first biennial report as required by law. The Legislature of 1906 created a special commission "empowered to consider the status and equipment of the Normal Schools of the State, to compare the same with the normal school facilities of other states, and to report to the General Assembly at the biennial session of 1908 their findings and recommendations." This was the third commission charged by the Legislature with practically the same duties within the last thirty years, and after each successive report the Legislature has increased the appropriation for the three Normal Schools of the State, or otherwise enacted laws for their continuation and betterment. For example, the Legislature of 1898 passed the following act, (Section 945 of the Public Statutes of Vermont): "The Normal Schools of Randolph, Johnson and Castleton are continued until August, 1920." And the last Legislature made the largest grant in our normal school history, appropriating the sum of $30,000 annually to the Normal Schools to be expended by the Board of Education for the support of such schools, $7,500 for each of the three schools and an additional sum of $7,500 to be used annually by the Board for the benefit of any or all of the schools as in the judgment of the Board may seem best, "provided that such schools are maintained to a standard high enough to satisfy said Board that the graduates of such schools are properly fitted to become teachers." All this seemed to indicate that it was the settled policy of the State to develop the present Normal School plants, to increase the educational advantages and opportunities of the present schools, to raise the standard for admission and graduation, so as to enable its graduates to obtain the highest degree of skill and efficiency possible with the appropriations thus made. The State Board of Education entered upon this task with determination to carry out this wish and purpose in good faith. Repairs. To accomplish all that was expected, it was necessary in the first place to provide rooms and equipment at all these schools for the new work that was necessary to be done.
