Present: Trustees Barlow, Olsen and Smith, the President and the Secretary. Minutes of the meeting of March 12, April 10, May 1, June 3, and June 17, were read and approved. PURCHASE OF SITE FOR DORMITORY: Messrs. E. W. Purdy and C. M. Smith, president and secretary of the Bellingham Bay Improvement Company, appeared before the Board for the purpose of discussing the purchase of lands for a site for the proposed new dormitory. The property particularly under consideration was a tract beloning to the company mentioned containing with platted streets about 21 acres adjoining the present Normal grounds on the north-east. The Board also considered the purchase of three lots beloning to Miss Whitaker on High street adjoining the Normal grounds on the north-east and lying in front of the Bellingham Bay Improvement property referred to, Miss Whitaker having made her final proposal to the Board. After values, terms and conditions had been discussed a proposal was made by Trustee Smith and seconded by Trustee Barlow that the Board offer for the B. B. I. tract and the Whittaker three lots the lump sum of $23,500.00, conditioned upon the removal from the Whittaker lots of the smaller houses now located thereon within sixty days leaving only the larger Whittaker residence, and upon the securing of clear title to all the property named with abstracts that will be satisfactory to the State Attorney General. Mr. Purdy speaking for B. B. I. Company, thought they could undertake the necessary dealings with Miss Whittaker for removal of the buildings which were not desired by the Board, and would agree to secure the delivery to the Board of the title to all the land named, for the sum of $23,000.00 on the terms proposed by the Board. WHITTAKER RESIDENCE TO BE RELOCATED: It was the decision of the Board to removed the Whittaker house to a location at the north-eaterly side of the grounds being purchased and to put it in repair for occupancy by the President of the school free of rental charge, this concession being made in lieu of advance salary. REORGINIZATION OF THE BOARD: Trustee Olsen informed the Board that he had received official notification from Governor Hart of his reappointment as a Trustee of the Bellingham State Normal School for a term of six years from June 12, 1919. It was moved by Mr. Barlow and seconded by Mr. Smith that Mr. Olsen be reelected chaiman of the Board, and it was ordered. PURCHASE OF DISINFECTANT: The President reported that the proposal of the West Disinfecting Company, for supplying Wescofoam Disinfectant as presented June 3, had been accepted, after prices had been quoted WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for July 1919 Volume 05 - Page 290 1919-07-08 by several local firms, on disinfectants, none of which were as low as the one accepted. COMPARATIVE FUEL COST: The Registrar reported that the consumption by the [school] heating plant of fuel oil during the period Feb. 1, 1917 to 31, 1918, had been 1,975.41 barrels. The consumption from Feb. 1, 1018 to Jan. 31, 1919 had been 717.48 tons. A number of cords of wood in addition to the coal had also been consumed during this period. At current delivered prices coal $6.90 and fuel oil at $2.15 there would be a saving in favor of oil of $703.48 per annum, without allowing for wood and cost handling coal and wood. The Board decided to resume the use of fuel oil and decided that the necessary preparations be made. WOMAN PHYSCIAN ELECTED: The President recommended that Mrs. Dr. Bertha Hughes was elected for the position of women's physcian in the Inter-departmental Social Hygiene service, at a salary of $1680.00 per annum.

Williams be elected as part time instructor in physical education for women at a salary of $1020.00 per annum. The Board approved this recommendation.

LAURA SPEARIN LEE ELECTED RECORDER: The President recommended that Mrs. Laura Spearin Lee be elected to the position of Recorder for the year 1919-1920 at a salary of $90 per month, the office of the Recorder to be under supervision of the Registrar. The Board approved the recommendation. MISS MACKINNON'S SALARY: On recommendation of the President, for reasons give, it was ordered that July 1, 1919 be made the date when the salary of Miss Margaret MacKinnon, assistant to the Registrar, is to be advanced to $100.00 per month. LOAN FUND GIFTS: The President reported the receipt from Mr. Chas. Allen of the gift of his fifth thousand dollars to the Girl Students' Aid fund of this school. He also reported the gift from Mrs. Katherine Nolte, a former student, of $20 to the Student Loan Fund. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for July 1919 Volume 05 - Page 291 1919-07-08 IMPROVEMENT PLANNED: It was decided by the Board that steps be taken at once to commence the improvement of the grounds by grading along the north-easterly side and filling in the depression now occupied by the campus pond.

Present: Chairman J. J. Edens, Trustees Donovan and Hammer, Principal Mathes and the Registrar. The minutes of the meeting of March 18th were read and approved. Principal Mathes presented the appended: MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE THREE NORMAL SCHOOLS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. April 3, 1912. Moved by Dr. Mathes that we elect a chairman and secretary for this meeting. Motion carried. By motion, Mr. G. A. Fellows was elected chairman, and H. N. Stronach, secretary. Moved and carried that all actions taken by this general Board shall be ratified by the Board of Trustees of each normal school before becoming effective and official. Principal Showalter, of Cheney, reported on our normal school lands. A general discussion followed, touching the manner in which these lands are now handled, proceeds from sales of same, interest on cash fund, etc. Moved by Dr. Mahan that the three normal school principals, as a Committee from the trustees, be named to act with the other institutions to recommend some legislation regarding the sales and the handling of our normal school lands. Motion carried unanimously. Moved by Dr. Mahan that the three normal school principals also make recommendations, through their Board of Trustees, to the State legislature, with reference to the distribution of the interest and lease money derived from normal school lands. Motion seconded and carried unanimously. A general discussion then followed touching matters of vital interest to the three normal schools, which was finally embodied in the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED by the three normal schools that we recommend as follows: (1) That the school year shall begin on the first Tuesday in September, of each year, and close about the first of June following. (2) That the summer session shall begin on the Monday following the annual Commencement, and close not later than August first following. (3) That the month of August shall be known as the regular midsummer vacation. (4) It shall be the duty of the principals of the three normal schools each year before the publication of the annual catalogues, to prepare a uniform calendar for use in all of the normal schools in the state for the following school year. (5) The salaries of all teachers regularly employed by the WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 083 1912-04-26 normal schools in the State shall be paid, each year, in twelve equal monthly payments, beginning with September; but it shall be understood that the salary of any teacher shall not be paid for the months of June and July, when such teacher, at his own request, is excused by the Board of Trustees from teaching in the summer session of the institution for that year, and it shall further be understood that each member of any faculty shall, without prejudice, be entitled to be excused from work in a summer session each alternate year, under conditions stated in this paragraph. (6) That teachers who may wish to be excused from service in any summer school session shall so signify such desire to the Principal not later than April 1st preceding the summer session. Moved and carried that it is the sense of this meeting that a uniform contract would be advantageous, and that the matter be submitted to Mr. Lund to prepare a draft with a view of having same approved and adopted by each of the normal schools. Moved and carried that we heartily endorse the Page Bill now pending in the United States Congress, and that we co-operate in every possible way to bring about its final passage during the present session. Touching the Page bill, the following resolution was adopted: "We believe the Page Bill provides more completely and more adequately for all the provisions of practical education than any bill of similar character having been proposed in our national legislative body. We feel that such a measure will guarantee a basis for the furtherance of this all-important educational work which is both needed and demanded throughout our country." (Copies of this resolution to be sent to our senators and representatives in Congress). SIGNED: CHENEY NORMAL SCHOOL by N. D. Showalter, Prin. G. A. Fellows, Trustee. C. P. Lund ". H. W. Collins, ".

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 084 1912-04-26 The principal presented the appended: State Normal School Bellingham, Washington. To the Board of Trustees: The regular session of the school year for 1911-1912 will close Wednesday, June 5th, and the work of the year has witnessed a number of important improvements. Among these improvements may be mentioned the completion of the organization of the high school department in the training school; the addition of assistant teachers in the departments of English, foreign languages and home economics; the construction of some thirty oak book cases, the purchase of nearly one thousand volumes for the library and the employment of an assistant for this department; the erection of an open-air school building; the construction of a dozen pieces of playground apparatus; the installation of several drinking fountains, and the purchase of more than four thousand dollars' worth of apparatus for the various departments of the institution. While there has been no increase in the attendance over the previous year, the requirements for admission have been raised, and several new elective courses have been offered. The outlook for the summer session of 1912 and for the coming school year is very encouraging, and, in order that adequate preparation may be made for the session of the coming year, the following items are respectfully submitted for the consideration of the Board of Trustees. First: There is urgent need for an additional critic teacher in our training department. The gradual increase in the enrollment in our junior and senior classes has likewise increased the number of practice teachers each quarter, until at present it is necessary for certain critic teachers each to attempt to supervise, some quarters of the year, daily, the work of twenty-five to thirty practice teachers. It will be necessary to pay $1,200.00 to $1,400.00 per year for this additional teacher. It can probably be arranged so that the employment of this additional supervisor may be delayed until February, 1913, but we urge the desirability of formally establishing the position at this time, so that the work for the coming year may be intelligently outlined and assigned. Second: The establishment of the ninth and tenth grades in the training school has increased the enrollment of that department until we have at present about 160 children in the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades, one half of whom are boys. These eighty boys, together with the forty young men in the normal school, should be given additional opportunities for industrial training. The work in manual training offered in the institution at present is highly satisfactory for the girls in all classes of the institution, and these is plenty of work, with the girls alone, to occupy the full time of the two teachers now in the department. We recommend, therefore, the establishment of a department of industrial training for men, and the employment of a young man, for this coming year, if possible, to take charge of the work in manual training for the boys of all grades and classes in the institution. To carry forward this work successfully, this young man should be provided with materials from which to contruct, with student labor, a small wooden building in which to carry on his work. The salary for this position should be not less than $1,200.00 for the first year. Third: The very limited appropriation granted to this institution by the legislature for general printing purposes has, for a number of years, proven a constant handicap in the daily work as well as in the general advertising features of the institution. We believe, therefore, that it would be wise to provide equipment for a small printing office in the institution and have the same operated as a part of our regular manual training work. In this way, much printing could be done for the school with practically no cost except for materials used. Such an equipment need not cost more than $200.00 for the first year, as we already have considerable available material in our equipment for the writerpress, which is a printing machine for duplicating typewritten work. Fourth: During the past year, through a temporary arrangement, we have been able to give the young men of the school some systematic instruction in physical training, and by an expenditure of about $30.00 to $40.00 per month, this arrangement could be continued through another school year, and thus provide competent physical instruction for the young man, both in the gymnasium and on the athletic field. The young men of the normal school and of the high school grades have petitioned for this work, and it should, if possible, be provided. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 085 1912-04-26 Fifth: Owing to the failure of Mr. T. A. Bonser, of Spokane, to report for work in the department of zoology last September, it was necessary, just at the opening of the school year, to reorganize, to a limited extent, the assignments for work in the science departments for the current school year; but in the judgment of the writer, little loss was sustained as a result of the readjustment, and it is not believed that it will be necessary to fill that department for the coming year; but some provision should be made for carrying on the work of the department. We suggest two or three methods for taking care of this question: (a) The department may be continued and Mr. Moodie given the position of Professor of Botany and Acting Professor of Zoology. (b) The two departments might be consolidated into one general department to be called the "department of biology." If this is done, it will be necessary for teachers in other departments to assist in the work of this department, which is not always satisfactory or desirable, from the standpoint of members of the faculty. (c) The work of zoology might be added to the department of botany, and the work in physiology and hygiene added to the department of school nurse. By this plan, we probably could provide satisfactorily for the work of the department, for the present at least, and this we believe is the most desirable solution of the problem. In making this re-adjustment, it is recommended that the salaries of the teachers in the departments affected be reconsidered and suitable increases granted. Sixth. No department in the institution has met with more universal endorsement than that of Home Economics, and this department is seriously in need of additional room. By a readjustment of our museum, a large part of the third floor of the science building may be made available for this department, but the alterations necessary to render the rooms suitable for domestic science work would cost probably $250.00. If the Home economics department were moved to the third floor, the Y. W. C. A. might be moved to the basement, which would give an additional room for the high school work, and this will be needed in the near future. Unless we can see our way clear to erect a cottage within two or three years for the home economics department, the readjustment suggested above should be made at the first opportunity. Seventh. It is recommended that the Trustees authorize the further investigation of available lands for a demonstration garden, and that such steps be taken as may be necessary to lease land upon which to begin such demonstration work not later than April, 1915. Eighth: The resignation of Miss Ruth A. Gottlieb, as School Nurse, makes it necessary to secure a new instructor for that position. The importance and steady growth of this work make it imperative that the position shall not be left vacant for the coming year, and a number of letters of inquiry have already been sent out asking for candidates for the position. Ninth. We beg to report the resignation of Prof. G. Sidney Stark, as teacher of stringed instruments, and wish to recommend strongly Mrs. Mamie Davenport Engberg, of this city, to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Stark. We recommend, further, that the position be tendered Mrs. Engberg upon the same or similar terms as were accepted by Mr. Stark. Tenth. A study of the Recommendations passed at the joint meeting of the Boards of Trustees of the three State Normal Schools, held in Cheney, April 3rd, 1912, will suggest the need of a readjustment of the salaries of our faculty if these recommendations are adopted by this Board. The following brief analysis of the question will suggest the minimum increase in salaries that will approximately cover the extra service demanded of each teacher. At present, we really demand of each teacher three weeks of Summer school work in addition to the regular school year to entitle him to pay for all twelve months in the year. Under the new plan proposed, each teacher will be required to work about seven or eight weeks in addition to the regular school year to be entitled to pay for all twelve months of the calendar year, which means that we will require about one month more of work under the new plan WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 086 1912-04-26 from each teacher annually than we require under the present plan. It seems clear, therefore, that we must increase the salary of each teacher at least by the amount of one month of his salary if we are to compensate him for the extra service required under the new contract. This will mean an increase of $3,650.00 for the year and will increase the cost of salaries about $2,130 for the remainder of the present biennium. In the light of other urgent needs, as outlined above, this question of readjustment of salaries should receive very careful and yet, if possible, favorable consideration. All of which is respectfully submitted. Principal. The principal was authorized to investigate the matter of securing a man to assist in the teaching on the Manual Training department. He was also authorized to purchase a small printing press and some type. He was further authorized to engage a student assistant in the department of Physical Culture at a salary of from $30.00 to $40.00 per month. Miss Montgomery appeared before the Board by request to present her grievance that Miss Gray had been sent to Spokane to attend a meeting of the deans of the northwestern state schools while she, Miss Montgomery, had not been granted expenses to attend a meeting of the Inland Empire State Teachers association at Pendleton, Oregon, several years ago. The discussion extended over an hour but no action was taken. Trustee Donovan read a personal letter from Governor Hay announcing that he had been compelled to postpone his visit to Bellingham and this school until about the 20th of May. The chairman offered the written resignation, addressed to him, of Miss Gottlieb as School Nurse in the Department of Hygiene to take effect Sept. 1st, 1912. It was ordered that the resignation be accepted. The appended bills were approved for payment: MAINTENANCE FUND J. Wayland Clark, Registrar, Revolving Fund - $386.75. Ehrlich-Harrison Co. - 98.40.

Dear Sir, we agree to furnish the State Normal School with 400 cords (or what additional quantity may be required), four foot slabs, mill run, piled on the grounds of the said school on Sehome Hill, Bellingham, at a rate of $3.25 per cord. We agree to pile the entire quantity on the grounds within sixty days from accepting agreement. The school board to provide suitable piling space for the same without delay to deliveries. Terms: Net cash in 60 days or 2% discount at end of each month. This offer for prompt acceptance and in accordance with your advertised request for bids. Yours very truly, Bellingham Bay Lumber Company. Accepted 7/13/07 conditionally. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for July 1907 Volume 02 - Page 134 1907-07-13 On motion of Trustee Donovan the bid of the Bellingham Bay Lumber Company was ordered accepted upon condition that the said company would deliver 200 cords of wood prior to October 1st, 1907 and 200 cords after October 1st, and the clerk was directed to so notify the company. Chairman Edens reported several verbal applications for the position of Mrs. Branchard. Also reported a letter from Mr. Thompson applying for the positionvacated by Professor Lull.

Chairman Edens also reported that he had ordered a set of history works for the use of the school entitled "Greats Event of History," at a net price of $58.00 or if paid for on the installment plan the price of $65.00, payable $3.50 per month. The action of Chairman Edens in ordering the work was unanimously approved by the board. Chairman Edens reminded the board that his term of office as chairman had expired, that he had re-appointed as a member of the board by the Governor and requested that a new Chairman be elected in his stead.

Roy O. Hadley, clerk. 1905-16-15 The adjourned session of the regular June meeting was called to order at 2:30 in the office of the Principal. Present: Chairman Edens, Trustee Donovan, Dr. Mathes, and the clerk. The following communication, explaining the cause of his absence, was received from Mr. Teck, and ordered palced on the minutes: Bellingham, Washington June 15, 1905. Hon. John J. Edens, Chairman. Board of Trustees State Normal School, Bellingham, Washinton. Dear Sir: I beg leave to explain my absence from the meeting of the Board of Trustees called for 2 o'clock today for the purpose of considering bids on the construction of an additionto the dining hall or dormitory, and the election of a faculty for the esnuing term or biennial period. While I am willing to act, and consider it my duty to act, in all matters of temporary and urgent importance, I do not feel that, in view of the fact that my commission as trustee expired March 3, 1905, I have logical authority to join in a contract involving the election of and entire faculty for a period of a year in advance. I do not consider that such action would be just to my successor, who may be appointed tomorrow and who will have to deal with the faculty when I retire. I understand that the legal term of the trustees begins with June 13, and as no successor to myself has been appointed for the unexpired legal term at the time my commission expired, March 3, 1905, and as the beginning of the suceeding legal term has already passed without bringing forth the announcement of my successor, as had been promised by the Governor, I feel that my authority as a member of the board should be strictly limited to action upon matters of temporary urgency, and should not have to do with a vital and lasting contrct, such as the election of the principal and faculty. I ask that the board direct the clerk to enter a copy of this communication as a part of the record of today's meeting, and have the honor to remain, sincerely yours, (Signed) Frank C. Teck.

RESOLUTION: The Board of Trustees of the Bellingham State Normal School accept with sincere regret the resignation of Registrar J. M. Edson. During the six years of his official connection with the school, Mr. Edson has proved painstaking and efficient to a high degree. As the appointed agent of the Board he has been uniformly tactful and courteous in his dealings with students, teachers, employees, and the public. He has been an honest and careful custodian of the State funds, using such keenness in expenditures as would be shown in the conduct of private business. His experience as printer and school board member has made him doubly useful in the responsible position he has filled. During his term of office the duties of Registrar have expanded materially and have become very exactingm but he has met, easily and without complaint, every new demand upon his time and energy. He is popular with the faculty and employees, holds the esteem of students, and is respected by Bellingham business men. He has systemmatized his office and leaves it in perfect order. Withal he is a fine, well rounded gentleman, whose services the Board are loath to lose. The best wishes of the School will always go with Mr. Edson. The Board then adjourned. ##

October 1st, 1912. To His Excellency, Hon. Marion E. Hay, Governor: In the year 1893, the Legislature of Washington created a special Commission to select a site for a state normal school, to be located somewhere in Whatcom County. After a careful consideration of three different sites, the location between the cities of New Whatcom and Fairhaven was chosen. The first appropriation of $40,000.00. for the building was made in 1895. In 1897 the appropriation for maintenance and equipment was vetoed by the Governor of the state. The first appropriation for maintenance was granted in 1899, and the institution was formally opened for work on September 6th of that year, with an enrollment of about one hundred students. The institution has, therefore, completed thirteen years of active service, and during this time nearly four thousand different students have enrolled for regular class instruction. During the first year a faculty of nine teachers was employed to carry forward the work. This number has been increased from time to time until at present the faculty numbers thirty-one instructors. BUILDINGS. The present buildings of the Bellingham State Normal School include the main building, the trading school, the science annex, the gymnasium, the manual training shop and Edens Hall. The first four buildings named are connected by closed hallways and form practically one large structure, with a solid frontage of 390 feet. Main Building. The main building is a large, massive brick and stone structure and contains a total of thirty-eight rooms, including the offices, several halls and ten large recitation rooms. Training School Annex. This annex contains a total of WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1912 Volume 04 - Page 123 1912-10-01 thirty rooms. Two entire floors are devoted to the work of the training department. Science Annex. This annex provides three complete suites of rooms, one for the biological department, one for the physical science department, and one for the manual training department. Gymnasium. The gymnasium is a plain, wooden structure, 36 x 60 feet in size, and cost less than two thousand dollars when erected in 1901. It is provided with galleries and with baths and dressing rooms, but the latter are located in the basement of the main building. Edens Hall is a home for young ladies, and contains twenty-eight sleeping rooms, four bath rooms, a parlor, reception hall, trunk room, laundry, store rooms, servants' rooms, kitchen and a large dining room, searing one hundred and twenty people. The building is a wooden structure, and has cost the state, exclusive of furnishings, about $14,000.00. The annual income from the rental of rooms is about $1,650.00. CAMPUS. The original campus, as donated to the state, contained ten acres of land, located on the northwesterly slope of Sehome Hill, near the geographical center of the present city of Bellingham. The contour of the ground is such that nearly one half of this tract is included in a rugged hill side and will never be practicable for a building site of playground. The Board of Trustees have already found it necessary to expend about $11,000.00 to render the available portion of this tract suitable for the erection of buildings and the development of attractive lawns around them. In May, 1909, the Trustees purchased, for $3,000.00, two acres of additional land adjoining the campus, to be used as a recreation field. It has been necessary to clear this land and fill the greater part of it to make it available for the work of the institution. This additional tract, when fully developed, will provide sufficient room for playground and athletic purposes, but it will be necessary to purchase considerable additional land before the institution will be able to carry on any practical demon- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1912 Volume 04 - Page 124 1912-10-01 stration work in agriculture and horticulture. It is of interest to note here that a valuation of $40,000.00 was recently placed upon the grounds owned by the institution, by a representative of the State Bureau of Inspection and Supervision of Public Offices. LAND FOR SCHOOL GARDEN. There is still available, near the campus, a tract of unplatted land containing about four acres, which may be purchased for about $1,500.00 per acre. While it will require an expenditure of some $4,000.00 to prepare this land for use, the trustees recommend its purchase at this time, in order that the institution may proceed to develop the practical side of the work now offered in the various lines of agriculture. RURAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT. While it is true that the larger part of the population of Western Washington live in our villages and cities, there is a rapidly growing demand for teachers who have had special training for teaching in our rural schools. For the past four years this institution has offered training in methods for teachers in rural schools, but the lack of suitable ground has made it impossible to develop any practical work in agriculture and horticulture in the way of establishing and maintaining a school garden for demonstration purposes. The purchase of additional land is, therefore, a necessity if the institution is to meet in a practical way the demand for teachers who have received special training in agriculture and horticulture for rural school work. MANUAL TRAINING SHOP. In July, 1912, a special instructor in manual training for men was employed and plans made for the erection of a special building on the campus for this work. When finally completed, this building will provide two class rooms, two laboratories, an office and a large store room for the work of the department. Although the building is only partially completed, the department has been moved from the science annex into its new quarters, and the work organized for the year. The erection of this building WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1912 Volume 04 - Page 125 1912-10-01 removes the danger of fire from the main buildings and gives opportunity for expansion along several important lines. It is estimated that it will require at least $3,000.00 to complete the structure and purchase the additional equipment necessary for the work. ADDITION TO TRAINING SCHOOL BUILDING. The growth in the various classes in the Normal School proper during the past three years is found entirely in the advanced courses of study. This means that there has been a gradual increase in the enrollment in the junior and senior classes and a similar decrease in the lower classes of the institution. At this writing, (October, 1912) the total enrollment for the present year in the regular Normal School is 418. Of these, more than three hundred are high school graduates, or the equivalent, leaving less than one hundred in attendance who may be called elementary students, and even a good number of these are experienced teachers who have not enjoyed the advantages of a high school training. The regulations of the State Board of Education require that all students in the advanced courses must secure a definite amount of actual experience in practice teaching and observation before receiving a certificate or diploma, and the constant growth in the enrollment in the junior and senior years means that this institution must provide each year an increasing number of rooms for this work if the school is to maintain its present high standard in practice teaching. The most pressing need, thereforem at this time is for more adequate equipment for the expansion of this work. This may be accomplished by the erection of a substantial addition to the present training school annex, or by the construction of an entirely new training school building.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1912 Volume 04 - Page 129 1912-10-01 EXAMINATION BY BUREAU OF INSPECTION. A representative of the State Bureau of Inspection and Supervision of Public Offices has very recently completed a thorough examination of the financial records of the school, and made a complete inventory of all property and placed a physical valuation upon the same. The result of this examination may be found in the biennial report of this Bureau and will give full information along the lines of this history, growth, management and achievements of the institution. One item of this report may be quoted here. The estimate of this Bureau places the value of the property, including equipment, at $301,551.00. This means that the State of Washington has really invested about $450,000.00 in the general maintenance of the institution during the past thirteen and one half years. Special attention is also called to the fact that the state, since the foundation of the school seventeen years ago, has invested only three-quarters of a million of dollars in the entire plant. With this sum the trustees in charge during these years have provided for the erection of four buildings; for the purchase of additional land, and furniture and apparatus, and for the payment of salaries and current expenses for nearly fourteen years. The following figures indicate some of the results that the state has received for the money invested in the institution: SUMMARY OF ATTENDANCE. 1899-1900 - (total enrollment Normal School) 264, (Training School) 80, (Total enrollment) 344. 1900-1901 - (Normal) 266, (Training) 117, (total) 383. 1901-1902 - (Normal) 335, (Training) 154, (total) 489. 1902-1903 - (Normal) 387, (Training) 194, (total) 581. 1903-1904 - (Normal) 331, (Training) 208, (total) 539. 1904-1905 - (Normal) 320, (Training) 189, (total) 509. 1905-1906 - (Normal) 334, (Training) 201, (total) 535. 1906-1907 - (Normal) 402, (Training) 217, (total) 619. 1907-1908 - (Normal) 431, (Training) 252, (total) 683. 1908-1909 - (Normal) 504, (Training) 280, (total) 788. 1909-1910 - (Normal) 582, (Training) 269, (total) 851. 1910-1911 - (Normal) 617, (Training) 262, (total) 879. 1911-1912 - (Normal) 675, (Training) 317, (total) 992.

PROPOSED LAND PURCHASE: The proposed purchase of certain lands, options for which are now held on behalf of the Normal school by certain citizens of Bellingham, was discussed, also a plan in connection with a request to the Bellingham City Council to vacate that part of Cedar Street adjacent to the school campus and lying between Indian and 21st Streets. Mr. J. W. Kindall, acting in behalf of the citizens above referred to was present, and it was agreed that he should negotiate with the city council for the street vacation and for the dedication of a new street connecting Indian and 21st. Also with certain property owners, whose lands it is desired to purchase. ACTION OF STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION: The President called attention to the action of the State Board of Education at its recent meeting in Olympia, and the resolutions which it had adopted governing Normal School courses of study. It was pointed out that these resolutions were not in conformity with the recent act of legislature governing the case, in as much as the term "elementary schools" had been substituted for the term "common schools", as contemplated by the act referred to the effect of which would be to restrict the scope of normal school work. It was the decision of the Board that it would be impossible for this school to recognize these resolutions as binding insofar as they are in conflict with the law. The President presented the following draft of an amendment to the resolution adopted at Olympia, which amendment he proposed to offer for adoption at the adjourned meeting of the State Board at Spokane, April 7. (See page 212) BOARD OF HIGHER CURRICULA: The President made reference to the Board of Higher Curricula created by recent act of the Legislature. This school being entitled to a representative on the Board named, it was proposed and decided that Trustee Smith of this school board, be selected to represent the school on such Board of Higher Curricula. STUDENT TEACHING: President Nash submitted a plan of cooperation between the Normal and the Bellingham City schools in the matter of affording facilities for practice teaching for Normal students in the city schools. The plan was approved by the Board, and it was decided to submit the same to the Bellingham city school board. The plan is as follows: WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 210 1917-04-02 PLAN OF COOPERATION FOR STUDENT TEACHING The Normal School proposes to change the present plan of a twelve-grade training school with four hundred pupils to a nine-grade school with three hundred sixty pupils, the City to assign an average of forty pupils per grade to this nine-grade school. The Normal School will develop a model training department and train at the institution all student teachers possible, the City Schools of Bellingham to be available for student teaching only when Normal School facilities are exhausted. The City School Board is required by the Normal School Board to permit the senior students of the Normal School to assist in the City Schools, such students to be under the close personal supervision of Normal critics and room teachers, not more than eighty to assist during any quarter and not more than twenty to be assigned to a single Normal supervisor. All assignments to teach in the City Schools are to be approved by the City Superintendent and student teachers are to be changed whenever the welfare of the pupils may require. Substitute teachers of the City are to be furnished free by the Normal School, as required by the City School authorities. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 211 1917-04-02 LIGHTS FOR REAR OF BUILDING: Attention was called by Trustee Olsen to the need of all-night lights in the rear of the Normal building. The Board authorized Mr. Olsen to provide such lights as he deemed necessary. ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTRACT: The Puget Sound Traction, Light and Power Company presented a contract which they offered to enter into with the Trustees of this school to supply the school with electricity for a period of five years at a rate of five cents per K. W. hour, conditioned on a consumption valued at not less that $900.00 per annum. The Board held that it had no power to enter into a contract covering a period beyond the current biennium. It accepted the contract on condition that the term be shortened to two years. The Board expressed the intention of continuing the contract. THE REPORT OF DEAN OF WOMEN: The report of the Dean of Women for the first quarter of second semester was presented, read and placed on file. STUDENTS IN THE MILITIA: The fact that a number of students of the Normal school are enlisted in the Militia being brought to the attention of the Board, also the likelihood of their being called for service, led the Board to direct that in the event of such students leaving school for the reason stated, no deduction shall be made from the credits which otherwise would have been earned by them, by reason of such absence. RE-ELECTION OF TEACHERS DISCUSSED: The President called attention to the approach of the time for election of teachers for the next school year. He outlined the plan which he intends to follow in recommending teachers for re-election. He referred to circumstances bearing upon the case of several teachers, which were particularly discussed. The President's attitude was approved by the Board. The Board then adjourned. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 212 1917-04-02 On motion, it was resolved that practice teaching be a prescribed part of every course leading to a diploma in the state normal schools, provided that the practice teaching in the two year elementary course, the three year advanced course and the one year special advanced course for college and university graduates shall not be less than 90 hours. On motion, it was resolved that the function of the three year advanced course be to provide additional and specialized training based upon the two year elementary course. It is understood that the first two years of the three year advanced course shall be identical with the regular two year elementary course. On motion, it was resolved that the three year advanced course of study in the state normal schools be devised to train specially qualified common school teachers in the following fields: 1. Grade Supervision. 2. Principalships. 3. Departmental positions. 4. Music, art, agriculture, household arts, industrial arts, commercial subjects, physical education, ?. On motion, it was resolved that the training of kindergarten teachers be confined to the Ellensburg State Normal School exclusively, that the training of special teachers in Agriculture be confined to the Cheney State Normal exclusively, and the training of teachers in commercial subjects be confined to the Bellingham State Normal School exclusively. On motion, it was resolved that the Board recognize the four types of the two year course - primary, intermediate, grammar grade and rural. On motion, it was resolved that the Board provide courses based upon a school year of four quarters of nine or twelve weeks each. On motion, it was resolved by the Board that the courses be based upon a total of 64 or 80 credits; that is, a total of eight or ten credits each quarter. On motion, it was resolved by the board that the t? year advanced course shall be based upon the following groupings: General Educational Theory - 20 credits. Special Methods (Theory, Observation and Practice). Specialized Electives - 20 credits. General electives - 20 credits. Practice work at least 10 of the above credits. On motion, it was resolved by the board that the ? year elementary course shall be based upon the two year elementary and shall correspond closely with the first year of such courses.

He recommended the employment of Miss Marguerite Moore at a compensation of $80.00 for the session, also of Ruby Peterson at $20.00 for the session. STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION: President Nash reported the action of the State Board of Education at its meeting in Spokane, April 7th. He stated that the objectionable resolutions previously adopted by the Board with reference to normal school courses of study were there modified in a way to make them more acceptable. LETTERS FROM DR. DEERWESTER: Letters were laid before the Board, which had been received from Dr. Frank Deerwester, and which were addressed to Members of the Board and to President Nash. These communications dealt with Dr. Deerwester's connection with this school also largely with his personal relations with the President. The Board after having considered the contents of these letters, directed the Secretary to write Dr. Deerwester to the effect that they did not contemplate re-electing him to a position in this school. PROPOSAL FROM EVERETT SUPERINTENDENT: A letter from C. R. Frazier, Superintendent of Everett City Schools, was presented which proposed a plan for the employment of student teachers of the training classes of this school in the Everett City Schools. The communication is as follows: (over) WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 214 1917-04-16 COPY Everett, Washington, April 11, 1917. Pres. Geo. W. Nash, Bellingham Normal School, Bellingham, Wash. Dear Mr. Nash:- Would you consider placing a group of about ten of your Senior girls, who had already had some practice in the model school, in charge of as many different rooms in our schools for a period of at least nine weeks at a time, they to be succeeded by another group making four groups for the year? Should you be willing to consider this, I will take the matter up first with our principal and then with our Board of Education, and it would be subject to our final approval later. But in case the plan is adopted it would be important that it should be carried through the year as we would thus employ fewer regular teachers and count on these girls having the actual experience of taking charge of the rooms and being responsible for them. But, of course, it would be necessary to provide intensive supervision, both in order that the pupils might not suffer from the inexperience or immaturity of the practice teachers, and second in order that the practice teachers might derive the greatest possible benefit from the experience. The reason I suggest a group of ten is that that would be enough to make it worth your while to place a regular supervisor on the ground here. In case such an arrangement could be made, my proposition would be that the girls who come here be paid by our Board about $25.00 per month which would approximate the cost of their board, and that each assignment be with my approval and subject to my vote in case she failed to carry the work successfully. I would also consider the proposition of our Board paying a part of the cost of a special supervisor if necessary, and that we have a portion of such supervisor's time in other supervisory work in the system. My plan would be to permit one group to follow another in the same room and then give that room to one of our regular teachers the following semester and assign the next group of cadets to another grade or another room. If such a plan is to be carried out it will be necessary for us to act soon as we are about to elect new teachers and the adoption of this plan would mean that we would probably not elect any new teachers until there were more than ten vacancies. Yours very truly, C.R. FRAZIER, Superintendent WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1917 Volume 05 - Page 215 1917-04-16 TRANSPORTATION OF REPRESENTATIVES TO W.E.A.: Upon the suggestion of the President, it was ordered by the Board that the teachers who represented this school at the meeting of the Washington Educational Association at Spokane in March last, namely, Mr. Bever, Mrs. Kuykendall and Miss Woodard, be reimbursed to the extent of their transportation expense, provided they can submit the necessary receipts within the last biennium.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1908 Volume 03 - Page 002 1908-10-13 Dr. Mathes reported that he had received a note from the State Printer, C.W. Gorham, asking for the payment of his bills, amounting to $690.77, these bills having been presenting to the board heretofore and ordered filed. He had replied that this school would appear before the next legislature with a deficiency in any event and the payment of the bills in question would increase such deficiency to the amount of the bills. It was therefore a question as to whether this school or the State Printer should appear with its deficiency increased by the additionof the bills in question. The matter of manure for the campus was referred to the chairman. The principal stated that O.M. Jenkins had bought the lot diagonally across from Edens hall and proposed to erect a two-story building, the lower floors of which he proposed to devote to stores and the upper to rooms for rent. He asked for the privilege of connecting with Edens hall sewer. No objection was expressed against such connection. The principal reported that he had $2,069.40 in the bank belonging to the state and asked for instructions as to whether he should remit it, in view of the fact that a deficiency in the funds of the school was inevitable. Under instructions of the board Dr. Mathes had written the State board of Audit and Control asking whether the fees collected by this school should be remitted to the State Treasurer or should be retained to meet a deficiency. The reply of the Board of Audit and Control was read. Dr. Mathes' Letter had been referred to the State Treasurer with a request for leniency in the matter, but the State Board suggested that every effort be made to curtail expenses. The reply of the State Treasurer, Geo. G. Mills, set forth that under no circumstances could he countenance a violation of the law "I appreciate your position thoroughly and must say that since the law referred to went into effect you have more fully complied with its provisions than has the head of any other institution in the state." He stated that it would be very easy to demonstrate to the next appropriation committee the reason for a deficit in that this board had figured on using our fees instead of turning them into the State Treasury. The principal reported that he had already sent the State Treasurer an amount exceeding $4,400 and that this amount would be increased to $6,500 by transmitting the amount now in bank. He was instructed to forward the $2,069.40 to the State Treasurer. The principal reported that Frank W. Lees who had the contract for delivering 300 cords of wood was finding it difficult to secure wood that would fill the specifications made by this board. His contract still lacked 36 cords of completion and he would be willing to cancel it. The contractors for 50 cords of wood for Edens hall were willing to furnish the 36 cords in question at $4.00 per cord and the principal was instructed to order the 36 cords of them. The principal announced that the State Board of Audit and Control would be at this institution Oct. 30th and 31st. The plan of entertainment included a dinner to the State and Normal school boards in the Domestic Science department the evening of the 30th, to be followed by a reception by the Senior Class. The principal reported 115 practice teachers and spoke of the necessity of an addition at an estimated cost of $10,000 to provide more room. The clerk was instructed to write the Governor stating that the biennial report of this institution was in course of preparation. The principal was granted a month's vacation. The following bills, on motion of Mr. Handschy, were audited and ordered paid: WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1908 Volume 03 - Page 003 1908-10-13 Maintenance Fund: Cunningham, Curtiss and Welch $30.40; Henri Gerard $2.10; Thiel and Welter $12.30; Northwest Hardware Co $5.75; The Diamond Palace $7.00; McDonald Bros $109.50; American School of Home Economics $14.40; Lowman and Hanford S and P Co$5.00; American Printing Co $2.00; Post Intelligencer Co. $3.00; Northwest Journal of Education $40.00; Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. $8.00; Munro and Haskell $329.80; Fairhaven Publishing Co. $2.70; Cole Truck and Storage Co. $48.33; M.
