Chapter 506 of the Acts of 1916 provides that the Governor shall
appoint the members of the State Board of Education as follows: Before
the first Monday in May, 1918, three members for terms of seven, six
and five years; in 1920, two members for terms of six and seven years,
and in 1922, two members for terms of six and seven years from the
first Monday in May next succeeding their appointment, thus creating a
Board, after 1922, of seven members, one appointed annually for a term
of seven years from the first Monday in May, next succeeding the appoint-
ment. The Governor and State Superintendent of Schools are no longer
members of this Board.

The State Board of Education selects a State Superintendent of
Schools, and through him and his assistants, has general control of the
Public School System of the State. The Board is a legislative body, and,
as such, enacts by-laws and prescribes rules and regulations for carrying
into effect the provisions of the school laws. These by-laws and rules
include regulations for the construction of school buildings, for grading
and standardizing all public schools, for the certification of public school
teachers, for taking the bi-ennial school census, and for a uniform series
of forms and blanks for the use of county superintendents, school officials
and teachers.

The State Superintendent of Schools is the executive officer of the
Board. The members of the State Board of Education and the State
Superintendent of Schools are ex-officio trustees of the State Normal
Schools.
