The general supervision and control of the free public schools of this State, including those for colored children, shall be vested in a State Board of Education; which shall be composed of the Governor, the Secretary of State, the President of Delaware College, the State Auditor, and the senior member of each County School Commission by this Act created, as members by virtue and during the continuance of their office. The Governor shall be the President and the Auditor shall be the Secretary of the said State Board of Education. The said State Board shall hold meetings quarterly, during the last week in each of the months of September, December, March and June in each year, in the office of the Auditor at Dover, and may hold special meetings at the call of the President (or Secretary).

Four members shall constitute a quorum to do business, but a less number may adjourn from time to time until a quorum is secured.
