From The Indianapolis News, Friday, June 23, 1922: The City Normal School will close following a recent opinion on the school’s legality by Indiana Attorney General Ulysses S. Lesh. It was determined that the Indianapolis public school board has no authority in law to appropriate money for the operation of the Normal School and its continued operation would be a violation of the law. Efforts will be made to place the school’s teaching corps in other positions within the city school system, and the school board has been negotiating the transfer of the Normal College work to Butler College when that institution is in a position to take it over. For fifty-five years young women high school graduates were accepted into the Normal School and upon successfully completing a two-year course, received appointment as teachers in the Indianapolis grade schools.
