VIRGINIA PASSES NORMAL SCHOOL ACT A system of public free shcools for Virginia was established July 11, 1870, by the first Legislature to as- semble after the War between the States. As these schools struggled year after year for a stable footing, it became more and more evident that they must be supplied with specially trained teachers before they could reach the desired efficiency. To make provision for this pressing need, the Legislature at its regular session in March, 1884, passed the following act establishing the Normal School: Be it enacted by the General As- sembly of Virginia: 1. That there shall be established, as herinafter provided, a normal school expressly for the training and education of white female teachers for public schools. 2. The school shall be under the supervision, management and government of W. H. Ruffner, J.L. M. Curry, John B. Minor, R. M. Manly, L. R. Holland, John L. Buchanan, L. A. Michie, F. N. Wat- kins, S. C. Armstrong, W. B. Talia- ferro, George O. Conrad, W. E. Gaines, and W. W. Herbert, as a board of trustees. In case of vacancy, caused by death, resignation, or otherwise, the successor shall be appointed by the Governor. The Superintendent of Public Instruction
