REVIEW OF SCHOOL
LAW BY DR.. BROOKS
LAST LEGISLATURE PROVIDED
REVENUE TO INCREASE THE
SALARIES OF TEACHERS.
EXPANSION Of Department
The Sum Of s65o,ooo VIII be Expended
by the State Board Improving
the Smaller Normal Schools.


"The general assembly made gener-
Gus provision for the public schools"
said DR.. e. c, Brooks, superintendent
of public instruction, in giving out a
summary of the legislation affecting
the free schools. TT provided revenue
sufficient to increase the salaries of
the teachers and provide for all who
improve themselves in service. We
will have for teachers salaries next
year around 100000 or nearly a mil
lion and half more than the amount
available this year.
1.-THE general assembly provided
also for an expansion Of the depart
ment and appropriated about $780,
900 to be expended by the State board
Of education in improving the smaller
normal schools, providing more
money for high schools, and provid.
ing more literally for teacher train
ing and supervision of the public
school system.
THE state board Of examiner has
laid the foundation for teacher train
ing and the certificate Of teachers
and therefore 1t has become necessary
to broaden the work of the board. In
order to do that it was necessary to
take the place of the state board OF
examiners and the institute conduc-
tors. These two departments are the
division of teacher training and the
division OF the certification OF
teachers.
