After attorney general Samuel W. Williams protested, the State Board of Education in Richmond reaffirmed its policy for summer normal schools until state funds are provided. The dispute centered on an $18,000 appropriation versus costs of $52,138.07 and $18,548.97 tuition, with auditors defending voucher inspections and low tuition.
