Excerpt from Sixth Annual Report of the Board of Education: Together With the Sixth Annual Report of the Secretary of the Board
In compliance with the requisitions of the law establishing the Board of Education and prescribing their duties, they submit this, their Sixth Annual Report.
In their last Annual Report to the Legislature, it was recommended by the Board to provide for the further continuance of the three Normal Schools heretofore established in the Commonwealth, and to furnish aid to the different school districts, in the purchase of school libraries.
Both these recommendations met with the approbation of the Legislature. A resolve was passed appropriating a sufficient sum for the first object; and an appropriation of fifteen dollars was made to each school district which should raise a like sum, - the whole to be expended in the purchase of a school library.
It was highly gratifying to the Board, that such a prompt and generous response was made to a pecuniary call in aid of the cause of education. It showed the interest which was felt in a cause which lies at the very foundation of our political institutions; and the readiness with which, we trust, the Legislature of our favored Commonwealth will ever come forward to contribute to the means of advancing her interest and honor.
