Tlllilili YIQXRS Ol' l'RtJf1R1iSS FUR Tllli NURAIAL 41025-19261 A The-syears 192.1 to 19241 have been marked by steady growth and improvement along all 111111 ilk' 5611001 lll2i'1I 11115 l'C'l'll cX1121lltlL'fl. the l-aculty has been enlarged. the attendance has increased, courses or study have been multiplied, and the general tone and character of the work have been protessnanalined and elevated. lfor fuller information upon these points. read the following paragraphs: 11115 Scnooi. l't,.vN'r In january, 1923, the school came into possessicfn of the splendid tract of 275 acres previously purchased by the City ol Troy for a new site for the Normal. .Xbout twenty-tive acres of this were surveyed and plotted as a campus for the real school activities and the remainder was devoted to dairymg. tarming, etc., as school adjuncts. ln 192-l, a strip' 150 teet wide and containing approximately 5'Q acres, was obtained on the south side of lhompson Street: and other small plots amounting to about 9 acres were purchased in order to straighten the north boundary line. Hence. the new site contains approximately 285 acres. Upon this site, the hrst unit ot the New and Greater Normal has been crested-the training school building, known as Isilby llall. A swimming pool and bath house have been built, and an athletic tield llils been laid off and equipped with bleachers. Several modern farm and dairy buildings have been constructed: several hundred old pecan trees have been top-worked to modern varietiesg a good bit of ornamental sln'nbhery has been set out: and the grounds around liilhy Hall are now being terraced and graded. llcsides these improvements, the streets have been paved all the way from the heart of the City lu the farther side of the athletic park. .Xt the old plant the llltlsll notable change is the transfer of the departments of science and home economics from the main building to cottages prepared and set apart especially for them across the street lu the east of the manual training building. This releases four rooms in the main building for class purposes, and relieves our congestion to some extent. The removal of the elementary training school to Kilby llall in the fall of 1924, marked the beginning of the transfer of the School to its splendid new sitcL but, in order to retain it as a laboratory of methods. it became necessary to provide quick and reliable transpor- tation of student teachers hack and forth between the old and the new plants. llence, two motor lillsses now constitute an essential part of the school equipment. .XIJXIlNlS'l'l4iX'1'lX'li .tXri-xxlits ln 1923, the llrandon .Xdniinistration enlarged the State lioard of liducation I.-y placing upon it one representative front each congressional district. llence, it is now composed of twelve members including the tiovernor and the State Superintendent of lfducation, who are w.1'-oji1'rio members, The lioard formerly consisted of the t'.i'foj?'1' in and six meznbers chosen at random in the State. The present roster of the Iloard is as follows: Governor XY. XY. llrandon, Supl, john XY. .Xbererombie, Xlontgonieryg llr, IJ. T. Klccall. Mobile: llon. jack Thorington, Xlontgomery 1 llon.
