Report of the select committee appointed to enquire into the condition and operation of the Normal School. Covers the establishment of the Normal School and the use of the Literature Fund. Of specific note are issues of spending, attendance, staffing, and governance. The findings of the select committee are overwhelmingly favorable and declare that the Normal School should be established permanently 'at the seat of government' so that it would be 'subject to visitation by members of the Legislature.' State land is offered to erect a 'suitable edifice.' The committee states that funding will be appropriated for the building and that the annual appropriations will be continued.
