Just prior to the legislative session of 1911, the School inaugurated a campaign for a building that would house a training school of secondary grade. The campaign was unsuccessful at this time, but the movement so clearly had the support of practically the entire body of public school teachers and administrators of the state, that, upon the appropriation by the Legislature in 1913 of the proceeds of the mill tax to the University, the Board of Trustees proceeded to acquire a site and to consider plans for such a structure. The erection of the building was repeatedly delayed, but actual construction was finally begun in 1916 and completed in 1919. Unfortunately the lack of funds has prevented the opening of the model school.27 Since 1907 the School of Education has published a series of 19 bulletins comprising (1) reports of the annual high school conference and other meetings held at the University in the interest of education and (2) the results of special investigations and studies by members of the instructional staff and by students.
