Title
A name given to the resource
Danbury Evening News clippings regarding the opening of the building and securing additional funding from the State for the completion of the Danbury Normal School
Description
An account of the resource
3 clippings
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Hartford Courant on the same day (April 1, 1905) contained an announcement that the work had been completed on the construction of the Normal School at Danbury and contained another mention that there were additional funds sought to finish the job; this article would appear to be referring to the appropriation of additional monies.
The second clipping (April 11, 1905) discusses the Education Committee's visit to the building to determine the efficacy of further State expenditure for completing the project.
The third clipping (June 14, 1905) lists the teachers that were hired for the Normal School including Lothrop Higgins. On the same day, the Danbury Evening News announced a decision in Loewe v. Lawler (Hatters Case).
