Although a centralized administration of the public schools of
Maryland was attempted in 1865, it was not until 1870 that the State
Board of Education was established. The Board, composed of seven
members appointed by the Governor for terms of seven year is
responsible for the public school system, for the formulation of policy
governing education within the State, and for the passage of by-laws
and administrative regulations necessary for the governing of the
school system (Code 1951, Art. 77, secs. 2, 5, 14-19, 160).

The State Superintendent of Schools is appointed by the State
Board of Education for a term of four years. He is responsible for
the direction of the State Department of Education, the execution of
policy governing the school system, and the enforcement of the
administrative regulations adopted by the Board (Code 1951, Ark. 77,
