Excerpt from Eightieth Annual Report of the State Board of Education: Showing Condition of the Public Schools of Maryland, for the Year Ending June 30, 1946 The department was asked for an analysis of the methods Of financing the Maryland schools by the Commission on the Redistribution of State Revenues. Recommendations grew out of this study for simplification of plans for State aid, for the elimination Of inequities, for an increase in the amount Of aid, and for a new form Of State aid for school capital outlay. As a result of 1945 legislation the new Division Of Library Extension in the State Department of Education was established as of January 1, 1946 for the purpose of developing county, school and institutional libraries. The new director Of the division took office in February 1946. The department was called on for guidance of veterans regarding educational and training opportunities, for lists of approved educational institutions for the use Of the Veterans' Administration and for the approval of business establishments offering on-the-job training to veterans. The 1945 State legislation required approval Of private trade schools and this new service was inaugurated during the year. With continued interest Of patrons and parent-teacher associations, the greater financial support of county commissioners, the legislature and the administration in insuring a better program of education for the boys and girls Of Maryland, the school officials and teachers carry on with renewed inspiration. The excellent law which governs the Maryland school program, its simple and efficient plan of organization for administration and financing, as well as the sincere cooperation received from all county teachers, clerks, attendance workers, supervisors, and superintendents, who have been given the generous moral and financial support of their patrons, county boards of education, county commissioners and members of the legislature and the Governor have made possible the conditions shown in this report.
