Excerpt from Twenty-Fourth Annual Report of the Board of Education: Together With the Twenty-Fourth Annual Report of the Secretary of the Board The Board wish to call especial attention to the need of enlarge ment and improvement in the building at R1idgewater. Being the first building constructed for a State Normal School In America, and therefore erected without the results of the experience which have now admirably adapted the other three buildings to their use, it is small, poorly contrived, and inconvenient. 'n either its main school-room nor its recitation rooms 'meets essential wants. It has, also, now become impossible to warm the building with the means in use. The building is well located, and needs suitable enlargement and repairs to establish the school in as high prosperity as locality and other material conveniences can secure. The Board ask for a special appropriation for this purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
