PHOEBE BUTTON Twenty-four RACONTEUR History of the School HE Morehead State Normal School and Teachers College is the suc T cessor of the Morehead Normal School, which was founded in 1887 with Mrs. Phoebe Button and her son, F . C. Button, as teachers, with one pupil in attendance the first day. The liberality of General William T. 'Vithers, of Lexington, Kentucky, made the school possible; the generosity of Hon. T. F. Hargis, of Louisville, Kentucky, provided for the first school house and the grounds for all the buildings; and a gift from Robert Hodson and wife, of Oquawka, Illinois, afforded the basis of a fund for the erection of a boarding hall. For thirteen years the school was supported by the Kentucky Christian Missionary Society. On July 3 I, 1900, it passed under the control of the Christian Women's Board of Missions. Under this management the school continued till 1922 when the school property was deeded to the Common wealth of Kentucky. The General Assembly of Kentucky in 1920 enacted a law providing for an educational survey of the State by a commission of five persons, ap pointed by the Governor, which was to report its findings, with recom mendations, to the Governor. The commission, composed of Dr. 1,l-.,T. A. Ganfield, President of Centre College, Danville, Chairman; Alex G. Bar ret, lawyer and member of the Louisville Board of Education, Louisville; J. L.. Harmon, President of the Bowling Green Business University, Bowling Green; C. J. Hayden, President of the Springfield Board of Edu cation, Springfield; and Miss Katie McDaniel, formerly County Superin tendent of Christian Cou~1ty Schools, Hopkinsville, secured from the Gen eral Education Board, of New York Ci.ty, the services of a staff of experts under ~he direction of Dr. Frank P. Bachman, and after a survey extending over a period of fifteen months, made its report to the Governor in 1921. Among other recommendations was one for the establishment of two normal schools for the training of white elementary teachers one in Eastern Ken tucky, and cne in Western Kentucky. Acting under this recommendation the General Assembly of 1922 passed an act providing for the establishment of two Normal Schools for the training of white elementary teachers, and appropriating money for the maintenance and operation thereof. This act further provided that a com mission of eight persons, five to be appointed by the speaker of the House of Representatives, who was Hon. J. H:. Thompson, of Bourbon county, and three by the Lieutenant Governor, who was the Hon. S. Thruston Bal lard, of Louisville should select locations for the two schools. The Lieutenant Governor designated as members of the commission Prof. J. L. Harmon, President of the Bowling Green Business Univer sity; Hon. Alex G. Barret, lawyer and distinguished citizen of Louisville; Twenty-five RACONTEUR and Judge Arthur Peter, lawyer and former Judge of Jefferson county. The Speaker of the House designated as members of the commission Judge Ed. C. O'Rear, former Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals; Hon. Thomas A. Combs, former State Senator and prominent business man, of Lexington; Hon. Sherman Goodpaster, former State Treasurer, of Frank fort; Hon. W. S. Wallen, Jawyer and legislator, of Prestonburg; and Hon. Earl" W. Senff, .lawyer and County Judge of Montgomery county. ] udge O'Rear Was m;l.de chairman, and Judge Senff secretary, of the com mISSIOn.
