ADDITIONAL LIBRARY BOOKS The Board approved the purchase of additional books for the library as listed in requisitions #3773 and #3774. Principal Nash presented a further list of books (Lib. Profile #1) on which he had received a favorable estimate from Lowman and Hanford. On motion it was ordered by the Board that these books be purchased as suggested. MR. GEBAROFF TO ATTEND STATE MEETING Dr. Nash presented a request from Mr. Gebaroff, of the Manual Training Dep't, for permission to attend the meeting of the State Vocational Education Advisory Board, of which he is a member, to be held at Tacoma, Oct. 29 and 30. The request was granted by the Board; and upon recommendation of the Principal $15 was appropriated from Manual Training funds to defray expenses of Mr. Gebaroff. GRAMMAR SCHOOL LIBRARY A request from the Grammar department of the Training School that books be set apart from the school library for a department library to be located in the Grammar Department, was considered, and on motion the request was granted. The Librarian with approval of the Principal was authorized to make a suitable selection of books for that purpose. INQUIRY AS TO SALARIES The Principal was authorized for purposes of comparison to make inquiries as to salaries paid in institutions similar to this. VACATION OCT. 29 AND 30 The Principal stated to the Board that for the purpose of permitting teachers to attend the annual meeting of the State Educational Association, arrangements had been made for closing school Oct. 29 and 30, and for making up the time thus lost on Saturday Nov. 7 and Nov. 30, which action was approved by the Board. APPLICATION OF MR. ALBERT C. HERRE An application was received from Mr. Albert C. Herre, of Everson, Wash., for a position in this school. Mr. Herre's communication discussed his qualifications as a teacher of biology and geography. His application was ordered placed on file. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1914 Volume 05 - Page 064 1914-10-19 RENTAL OF PIANO FOR 5TH AND 6TH GRADES AND H. S. The Board authorized the renting of a piano for the use of the 5th and 6th grades, provided terms satisfactory to the Principal ? be secured, also one for the high school with privilege of purchase?. STUDENT ACTIVITIES FEE PROPOSED The Principal suggested as a better plan for financing the student activities of the school, that in lieu of the Student Association, and Lecture Course, fees now collected from the rebate of students, that a single fee of $5 payable in advance, be levied to cover the charges named and also all other charges for student activites. The suggestion was offered for adoption for the next school year. The Board expressed approval of the plan. EMERGENCY VOUCHERS APPROVED The Registrar reported that to secure a discount of 2%, voucher check #2083 for $51.25 had been issued to the Corbin Cabinet Lock Co., in settlement of their bill of Sept. 23, 1914, for locker locks and keys as presented. Also that Voucher check #2086 had been issued to the Students Association, transferring to them from the rebate fund fees collected for their use in the sum of $500. Also that V. C. #2085 for $500, had been issued transferring to the Lecture Course Committee from the rebate fund monies signed over by students for that purpose. Issuing of the foregoing vouchers was approved. OBSERVATION FEE The Principal reported that an arrangement had been made and put in force, whereby each student in Observation contributes a fee of one dollar to be used in defraying expenses of the department. The Board approved this action. The Board then adjourned. The foregoing minutes were read and approved November 11, 1914. ##

Present: Trustees Barlow, Olsen and Smith, the Principal and the Registrar. Reading of minutes was omitted. BIENNIAL REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR Principal Nash presented a preliminary draft for the eighth biennial report of the Board of Trustees to the Governor, such draft having been prepared by him with the assistance of the Registrar of the school for the approaching biennium were discussed at length, and the suggestions for a budget as presented by Dr. Nash were carefully considered. After making a few minor amendments the draft presented was adopted as the regular biennial report of the Board of Trustees to the Governor, for which the law provides. It was directed that a copy of the report as adopted be placed on file in the office of the Registrar. MRS. IDA E. POWELL ADDRESSED THE BOARD Mrs. Ida E. Powell appeared before the Board, and referring to the terms of her re-employment as matron of Edens Hall, contended that the new provisions were not an improvement upon the former ones. Mrs. Powell then retired. After deliberating upon the matter it was ordered by the Board that Mrs. Powell be allowed the board of her son in consideration of his services as janitor. (See p. 61.) MISS HAYS ADDRESSED THE BOARD Miss Frances S. Hays appeared and discussed the terms of her employment as Dean of Women. She contended that in addition to the concession to her of room rent and board at Edens Hall, her increased work merited a restoration of her former salary of $135 per month, for which she had signed an acceptance of appointment as oral expression teacher, the salary of Dean of Women having been formerly fixed at $127.50 per month. Miss Hays retired. On motion Miss Hays' request was granted and it was ordered that she be paid the additional $7.50 per month from Edens Hall funds. PROPOSED DONATION FROM MISS MONTGOMERY Dr. Nash, on behalf of Miss Montgomery, of the faculty brought up the matter of her proposal to donate to the school a 10-acre tract of land in Skagit County, near Day Lake, for purposes of a forestry station. Upon consideration by the Board it was decided that in the existing circumstances its authority to accept such a gift seemed very doubtful. While acknowledging Miss Montgomery's generous intention, it was not thought advisable to accept the offered property. (See p. 61.) "AMERICAN FORESTRY" FOR TRAINING SCHOOL A request was presented by the Principal on behalf of Mrs. Termaat, for a subscription to "American Forestry" for the training school. It was ordered that the request be complied with. MR. EGGERS' EMPLOYMENT The Principal called attention to the continuous need of the services of a second carpenter for work on Library furniture, and submitted the offer of John Eggers to remain in that capacity for a consideration of $90 per month till Jan. 1, 1915. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for September 1914 Volume 05 - Page 057 1914-09-17 On motion it was ordered that Mr. Eggers' offer be accepted ?. ?TRACT FOR BOOKS AWARDED With reference to the list of books constituting the proposed first installment of the annual purchase for the library, which was presented to the Board July 29, the Registrar reported ? follows: That copies of the list had been submitted to various publishing houses for bids, and that the following tenders ? been received, and had been duly checked and compared by the Librarian: G. E. Stechert and Co., New York, (23 items, value $26.05, not included, and 2 other items not included), - - $344.57. Lowman and Hanford, Seattle, (5 items not included), 372.73. St. Paul Book Co., St. Paul, Minn. (36 items, value $9.50 and 6 other items not included), - - 335.18. A. C. McClurg and Co., Chicago, (19 items, value $19.35 and 4 other items not included) - - 359.81. Taking freight charges into consideration it appeared that the bid of Lowman and Hanford, of Seattle, is the one most advantageous. The acceptance of this bid having been recommended by the Librarian, it was ordered that the purchase be made from that firm. STANDARD REFERENCE WORK The Librarian's recommendation that the Standard Reference Work, published by Welles Bros., of Chicago, be purchased for the library, at a cost of $20, was approved. LIBRARY NEEDS The Principal presented a list of needs of the library as prepared by the Librarian, and recommended that the items enumerated be provided as requested. Following is the list: 144 Oak chairs @ $1.65, (approximately) $237.60; 1 roll-top desk $40; 1 flat-top desk, $42.50 less discount; 1 office chair, $9.50 less discount; 1 floor covering (linoleum) for alcove. Also 1 catalog cabinet, $35 or less; guide cards, $1; paper, stationery, pens, pencils, rubber stamp, bell. Also to be made by the school carpenter: 6 magazine cases (like units already in use); 4 double-faced book cases (like units); 1 desk; 2 wall book cases (like unit); 1 atlas stand. On motion the foregoing recommendation for the provision of the above mentioned equipment for the library was approved and authorized. CONCERNING DANCING The Principal brought up the question of the policy to be pursued by the school with reference to dancing. The Board acquiesced in the Principal's suggestion that for the present no change be made from the custom of the past. AS TO THIEVING The Principal was given full authority to adopt such measures as he deems necessary for the suppression of thievery, including the employment of detectives if deemed advisable. NEW CAFETERIA ARRANGEMENT The unsatisfactory arrangement of having the school cafeteria conducted in connection with the home economics department, was brought to the attention of the Board by the Principal. Upon consideration the suggestion of Principal Nash was adopted that the cafeteria be segregated from the home economics depart- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for September 1914 Volume 05 - Page 058 1914-09-17 ment and its management placed in the hands of an association of students of the school organized for that purpose. TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION A communication to Dr. Nash from Manager B. F. Reno, of the telephone company, was presented. It referred to electrical connections with the telephone equipment in the Normal School. The Principal was given authority to have the telephone connections arranged in such a manner as he deems advisable. PROPOSED VOCATIONAL SCHOOL AT EVERETT The Principal presented to the Board a letter addressed to him by Prof. H. G. Lull, of the Vocational Commission of the State Department of Education. The communication referred to the proposed establishment of a trade school at Everett, and particularly referred to a proposition to include within the scope of such school, the training of teachers. Prof. Lull invited an expression upon this point. The Board concurred in the suggestion that the training of teachers may much better be left to the already established normal schools. BILL FROM THE SEATTLE TIMES A bill of $6 from the Seattle Times for subscription from Sept. 1, 1913, to Sept. 1, 1914, was presented.

BIDS ON MAGAZINE LIST Bids on the magazine list for the Library for the ensuing year, commencing September 1, were presented as follows: The Grimiaux Subscription Co. - $247.25. The H. H. Wilson Co. - 242.60. Selby-Harris Co. - 237.40. S. P. Tapping - 233.25. The bid of S. P. Tapping, of South Bellingham, having been found to be the lowest, was accepted, and Mr. Tapping was authorized to supply the magazines enumerated in the Librarian's list as submitted (with the exception of "The Drama" and "The Twentieth Century," both now suspended) at the stipulated price of $233.25, for the coming year commencing Sept. 1, 1914. COMMUNICATION FROM THE PRINCIPAL A communication embodying various recommendations from the Principal was presented as follows: August 8, 1914. To the Honorable Board of Trustees, Bellingham State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash. Gentlemen: In order that a number of small matters that have been held over from month to month may be adjusted before the opening of school in September, I am pleased to make the following recommendations: 1. Mr. Carver, who was selected to serve as Athletic Coach and Physical Director for boys at $40.00 per month (it being understood that he would serve only half time) is unable to go forward with this adjustment. He is willing, however, to accept a full time appointment of $60.00 per month, and I recommend that he be employed on this basis. 2. If one half of the School Nurse's salary may be paid from the School Nurse Fund, the money saved to the salary fund will make possible the employment of two or three general student assistants. I recommend that from the Nurse Fund there be applied $45.00 per month to this end, and that student assistants be appointed as follows: (Name), (Department), (Monthly Wage). Aida Uddenberg, Education, $20.00. J. H. Jones, Manual training, 20.00. Judith Axland, Training School, 20.00. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for August 1914 Volume 05 - Page 047 1914-08-12 3. In the budget of the year $40.00 per month has been allowed for a student assistant in Penmanship. Mrs. Tillett was elected to the place, but could not accept. This leaves a vacancy which should be filled at once, and I recommend the employment of Mr. A S. Hartley at the figure named, namely $40.00 per month for the year. Mr. Hartley is a young man who has had five years of experience as a teacher. He has taught the Palmer Muscular Movement for three years, and is just now taking an advanced course in Penmanship at the Bellingham Business College. He is of pleasing personality, and would, I believe, fill the place satisfactorily. 4. The school is very fortunate in having as its matron Mrs. Ida E. Powell. During past years Mrs. Powell has been given a concession through permission to have her children with her in the dormitory and in spite of the fact that she will have them with her no longer, the matron's salary was left unchanged in making adjustments for the coming year. If the Edens Hall Fund will permit an increase of $10.00 per month in Mrs. Powell's salary I recommend that this amount be voted. This would make the salary of this excellent matron and housekeeper $70.00 per month. 5. As announced verbally at the last meeting of the Board, this institution has been identified for some years with the Puget Sound Marine Station. It is my belief that the school's relation to the Station should be continued, and I recommend that $50.00 per year be appropriated as the Bellingham Normal School's part in maintaining a research room at the Station, and that Prof. W. L. Moodie be appointed to represent this school at the summer council. 6. Miss Frances S. Hays, who has been elected acting dean of women for the new school year, requests that a telephone be installed in her office. I feel that the request is a reasonable one, and since the installation will cost only $1.25 per month I recommend that it be made. 7. The work in manual training promises to be more popular than ever during the coming year, and the department is in great need of additional supplies. I have been over the ground very carefully with Professor Gebaroff, and am convinced that if the funds will allow we should purchase three new benches at an approximate cost of $15.00 each, and at the earliest possible moment secure a band-saw with individual motor. I recommend that not to exceed $50.00 be allowed for supplying benches and tools that are urgently needed by the Manual Training Department. 8. The institution has a right to feel proud of the worn condition of the entrance to the main building, but the time has arrived when the floorway of the area just outside the door should be replaced. This, I believe, can be done at small cost, and I suggest that the new work begin immediately. Just below the entrance the brick-work of plumb, and the plaster covering the courses of brick has become broken and is disintegrating. These walls should be straightened and pointed at once, so that the state may be saved greater expense later on. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for August 1914 Volume 05 - Page 048 1914-08-12 9. The long continued dry spell has, in a measure, destroyed the beauty of the campus, and it has been suggested by the gardner and others who seem well posted as to the nature of the soil of the Normal campus, that fertilizer should be applied in the hope of bringing to lawn back to its former beauty. Mr. Hendershot says that the shrubbery is being starved because of a lack of food, and I recommend that a start be made at the earliest possible moment to remedy this defect. Mr. Beal, the water commissioner of the city, informs me that if the school were to use its ten water taps during the entire sprinkling period permitted each day the cost to the school would not exceed $15.00 per month. The gardner says that we need for sprinkling purposes twelve 50-foot lengths of hose, and that these lengths can be secured at a net cost of $48.00, or less. He suggests also the puchase of a half dozen sprinklers. I recommend the expenditure of not to exceed $60.00 for providing the equipment of which the gardner is in immediate need. 10. The carpenter is putting in some time in repairing the play-ground apparatus for the Training School. It is Miss Norton's suggestion, which I endorse most heartily, that the swings, tooters, joy-wheel, and other apparatus be put in perfect condition for the opening of school in the fall, that the play-ground be thoroughly graveled, and, if possible, the play-room in the Annex be drained and made usable. She also suggests that, when thirty-five student teachers are sent out into the public schools to teach the last half of the year, a special supervisor should be provided. It is possible that Miss Ida Felt, who was granted leave of absence for the year, may be induced to come back in April and undertake this work, providing, of course, the Legislature votes a sufficiently large appropriation to permit the additional salary payment. The employment of Miss Felt is a matter that mist remain open until the work of the year is well organized, but it is something which will probably need the early attention of the Board. 11. A committee of the Students' Association met with me recently and suggested that the office which has been set apart for this organization be supplied with chairs and table, and that the partition, which divides the room into two parts be removed. The committee also asked that the walls be tinted so as to remove the weather discolorations now in evidence. This seems as reasonable request, and can be granted at small cost. If the Trustees do as the students desire, the Student Association will provide curtains, and other adornments for the room, so as to make it an attractive meeting place for committees of the various student organizations. 12. In order to avoid using the front campus as a play-ground I suggest that Secretary Edson be instructed to have graded as inexpensively as possible the ground which the school owns near the Manual Training Building. The stones may be removed, and a disc harrow used to advantage. If the field is graded and seeded promptly it will, I believe, be in good condition for use next spring. 13. It is my opinion that the work on the new Training School Annex should be promptly completed. The arrangement with the contractor was to the effect that he should paint the roof and calcimine the basement this summer, and the actual performance of the work WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for August 1914 Volume 05 - Page 049 1914-08-12 was assigned to a sub-contractor. I recommend that this work be immediately performed, or that the school be allowed to use the $140.00 remaining in the Building Fund to carry forth the work on its own account. 14. During my brief connection with the school I have become convinced that it will be well for the Board of Trustees to pass a resolution prohibiting all travelling salesmen of any kind from soliciting in and about the school. If this is not done many inexperienced but worthy students will be imposed upon and induced to buy books and other articles for which they have no need. If the principal of the school is ordered by the Board to exclude these solicitors from the grounds he will be alert to carry out the Board's commands. Hoping that these various matters may have your favorable consideration, I remain Sincerely yours, Principal. Action was taken on the foregoing recommendations as follows: Employment of Mr. Carver 1. On motion it was ordered that this recommendation be adopted, and that Mr. Carver be employed for the ensuing school year at a salary of $60 per month, as athletic coach and physical director for boys. School Nurse Salary 2. The recommendation was adopted that $45 per month of the salary of School Nurse be paid from the School Nurse Fund, the remaining $50 to be paid from the salary fund. Student Assistants Employed It was also ordered that the student assistants recommended be employed in various departments as follows: (Name), (Department), (Monthly Wage). Aida Uddenberg, Education, $20. J. H. Jones, Manual Training, 20. Judith Axland, Training School, 20. Mr. Hartley, Teacher of Penmanship 3. The recommendation that Mr. A. S. Hartley be employed as a teacher of Penmanship at a monthly salary of $40, was approved, and Mr. Hartley was elected to the position for the coming school year at the salary named. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for August 1914 Volume 05 - Page 050 1914-08-12 Salary of Mrs. Powell 4. The recommendation that the salary of Mrs. Ide E. Powell, Matron of Edens Hall, be advanced from the present figure of $60 per month, to $70 per month, was considered in connection with another communication which was presented from Mrs. Powell herself. On motion it was ordered that the salary of Mrs. Ida E. Powell as Matron of Edens Hall, be fixed for the year commencing Sept. 1, 1914 at $70 per month. Puget Sound Marine Station 5. The suggestion with reference to the Puget Sound Marine Station was approved, and it was ordered that $50 from the Miscellaneous Supplies fund be appropriated for maintenance of a research room in connection with that institution, and that Prof. W. L. Moodie be appointed to represent this school at its summer council. 6, 7. Action was deferred upon the 6th and 7th recommendations. Repair of Brick Work 8. With reference to the 8th recommendation, Mr. Barlow was authorized to consult mechanics as to the manner of repairs advisable and the cost of mending the brick walls flanking the main entrance to the school. 9. Action was deferred as to the 9th suggestion. Flooring the Annex Basement 10. As to the 10th recommendation, Mr. Barlow was commissioned to ascertain the most feasible way of flooring the annex basement and the cost thereof. The remaining portion of this paragraph was not acted upon. 11. Action was deferred as to the 11th recommendation. To Improve the Athletic Field 12. Mr. Olsen was authorized to confer with parties having suitable equipment for smoothing the surface of the athletic field with a view to having that work done. 13. No action was taken on the 13th recommendation pending an adjustment as to other related matters. 14. The sentiment expressed in the 14th recommendation was heartily endorsed by the Board and the suggestion accepted.

FACULTY COMMITTEES ADDRESSED THE BOARD Two committees from the faculty appeared before the Board for the purpose of advising with them with reference to the matter of the proposed readjustment of teachers' salaries, which had informally been brought to their attention. The committees were composed of Dr. Deerwester, Mr. Bever, Mr. Patchin, Miss Montgomery, Miss Baker, Miss Hogle, and Miss Brown. Dr. Deerwester, on behalf of the majority committee, addressed the Board, expressing the hope that a reduction of salaries might be avoided. He was followed by Mr. Bever and Mr. Patchin, who took much the same view as the first speaker with reference to salaries, and they discussed also the relations between the Board and the faculty. Miss Montgomery speaking for the minority committee, did not discuss the reduction of salaries, but advocated the adoption of a graduated salary schedule with salaries fixed for each position with reference to the importance of the work and the length of service of the incumbent. Having heard the response of members of the Board, the committees withdrew. DR. MATHES TO CONTINUE TILL JULY 1. Dr. Mathes having arrived at the meeting, the matter of the duration of his incumbency of the principalship was brought up for discussion, and it was agreed with Dr. Mathes that his services be continued till July 1. VACATION OF MISS VAN HORN The suggestion that Miss Van Horn, assistant secretary to the principal, be given her summer vacation in July rather than later, was approved. DR. MATHES AND DR. DEERWESTER TO FILL VACANCIES. On motion Dr. Mathes and Dr. Deerwester were authorized to fill the vacancies caused by the absence of Misses Lawrence, Baker and Knowles during summer school. ADJUSTMENT OF SALARIES. The matter of salaries of teachers and other employees for the next school year came under discussion. It appeared that the balance in the salary fund May 1, 1914, amounted to $60,470.53: that the cost of summer school would be $21,865.00 approximately: and there would be left $38,605.53 with which to pay salaries for the remaining seven months of the current biennium, or $5,517.07 per month, whereas the present salary schedule would call for at least $5,768.33 per month. Written suggestions of Principal Mathes as to the adjustment of the teaching force for the summer school and the next school year, together with an estimate of the salary expense, were presented and considered, as were also statements from the records of the Registrar, the subject having been exhaustively discussed by the Board. On motion the following amendment to the existing salary schedule was adopted, to be in effect September 1, 1914.

Present: Trustees Barlow and Olsen, the Principal and the Registrar. Minutes of the meeting of March 23 were read and adopted. CLAIM OF LULU C. CRAWSHAW A communication was presented from Lulu C. Crawshaw, in which she claimed that serious injury had been inflicted upon one of her fingers in the course of some treatment given by Miss Personet, former school nurse in this institution. In compensation for her injury she claimed $750 damages, which she asked the Board to allow her. The claim was considered and the Registrar directed to advise Miss Crawshaw that as the liability claimed had been incurred during a past biennium, there were no funds in any event that could be drawn upon for the payment of such a claim, and that her only source of relief would be the state legislature. MISS GRAY OFFERS TO SELL FURNITURE A communication from Miss Nellie A. Gray was presented, in which she gave a list of personal effects, which constitute the principal furnishings in rooms 2 and 3 in Edens Hall, and which effects were of a total original value of $153. Miss Gray offered to sell these articles to the school at a valuation about 50% of the original cost, viz: $75. She suggested that some disinterested party or parties be selected to examine the articles offered, to ascertain if this appraisment was fair. Having considered the proposal, the Board directed that the Registrar and Matron fo Edens Hall examine the articles referred, to, and report. DICTIONARY HOLDER FOR MISS DRAKE'S DEPARTMENT A request of Miss Drake for a $4.50 dictionary holder for her department was granted. CITY DIRECTORY FOR 1914 The purchase of a copy of the 1914 City Directory, soon to be out, published by R. L. Polk and Co., price $5, was authorized, for use of the offices. CYCLOPEDIA BRITANICA Attention was called to a suggestion of the Librarian with reference to an opportunity of purchasing a set of the latest English edition of the Cyclopedia Britanica, Regular price $171, at a special rate of $135. It was directed that if the Librarian thinks the present limited funds available can be best invested in part in this way, the purchase is to be considered authorized by the Board. MR PATCHIN DISCUSSES SEVERAL MATTERS Mr. W. L. Patchin, of the high school department, appeared before the Board and presented verbally a plan for landscaping the grounds in the angle at the rear of the training school, the work to be undertaken by a committee of several members of the training school faculty. The Board expressed its approval and consent to the proposal. Mr. Patchin made reference to some annoyance that had been recently caused to his department by three young men (not students) and stated the course he had pursued with reference to the same. Mr. Patchin then made a request that in view of his continuous service in the past his regular work in the summer school this year be shortened two weeks at the close. The matter was taken under advisement pending further consideration by the Principal. DISCOLORED WALLS OF THE ANNEX Attention was called to the whitened and discolored condition of the outside walls of the training school annex. The Registrar was instructed to notify the contractors who built WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1914 Volume 05 - Page 021 1914-04-08 the same and request them to clean the discolored walls and restore them to their natural appearance. INVENTORY OF SCHOOL PROPERTY REPORTED The Registrar presented an inventory dated April 1, 1914, of all personal property of the school, in compliance with instructions of March 23. REQUISITION NOT REQUIRED FOR ASSISTANT TEACHERS In answer to an inquiry of the Registrar it was stated that it was not intended by the Board that requisitions be required for the employment of assistants to teachers. ORDER RESPECTING LIBRARY PRIVILEGES The following resolution was adopted by the Board: Resolved that, It is hereby ordered that the Librarian be directed to call in all delinquent books, magazines, and other items belonging to the library. That strict compliance with library rules will hereafter be expected from all persons making use of this department. That the librarian be directed to keep a record of all infractions of the rules of the library, with dates and names of persons so offending, and to report the same to this Board.

BRANDT and HARRIS PLASTERING BILL The bill of Brandt and Harris of $183.96 for plastering the boiler room etc., which has been under consideration since February 16, was taken up.

Present: Trustees Barlow, and Olsen, and the Registrar. Minutes of the meeting of January 14 were read and adopted. COMMUNICATION FROM THE PRINCIPAL In the absence of Principal Mathes, who had started on a trip to the annual national meeting of School Superintendents at Richmond, Va., a communication from him which had been filed with the registrar was read as follows: February 11, 1914. Mr. J. M. Edson, Registrar, State Normal School, Bellingham, Washington. My Dear Mr. Edson:-- The following items should be given attention by the Board of Trustees at their meeting this evening: First: Miss Anna Storm has been employed to take the place of Miss Sperry in the faculty. She has been employed for four months (February to May, inclusive) at a salary of one hundred dollars per month, with the understanding that she will be retained for the summer school at the same salary if it is found that her services will be needed. Second: At the present time, three members of the faculty have notified us that they will not remain for the summer session. This means a saving of two months in salary for each of these people. The indications are that we will need the services of an additional teacher in the manual training department during the summer session, and Mr. Gebaroff has recommended that we employ two members of our senior class, each to work on half time. The cost will be about forty dollars per month for each student. Dr. Deerwester, who has the summer school in charge, can furnish the details in this matter. The Board can reach him by phone during their meeting if desired. Third: Mr. Lemach has called our attention to the fact that the steam pipes in the boiler room need covering very badly. We are losing a great amount of heat there constantly, and besides, the boiler room is oppressively warm in its present condition. There is a communication beforet the trustees now concerning the cost of this work. Fourth: The Fire Chief of the city has called at the Normal School and indicated that we should provide fire escapes on the building. He refers us to Ordinance 842. We recommend that this matter be referred to a committee, with instructions to secure plans and costs for the necessary escapes. Fifth: We have not yet taken steps to rent a piano for the students to use in practice. Mrs. Thatcher reports that there are eight or nine students at present who wish to practice one hour daily, and we have no pianos available for them except early in the morning or late in the afternoon. We can now set aside a room in the basement where a piano may be placed for the practice work. Each student pays one dollar per month as rental, and this sum would more than pay the cost to us for renting a piano for their use. The Trustees might purchase a piano on the installment plan let the rent apply as payment each month. We suggest that this matter be referred to Mrs. Thatcher and Mr. Epley. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for February 1914 Volume 05 - Page 008 1914-02-11 Sixth: Before moving into the new addition, me made an agreement with Mr. Brandt whereby he cleaned the windows on two floors of the building in lieu of being relieved from paying a penalty for not delivering to us the building on January 10th, as we had requested. Mr. Brandt furnished two men for a full week, and we recommend that no penalty be imposed upon him. Respectfully submitted, Principal. The communication was ordered placed on file, certain action being taken thereon as hereinafter shown. COMMUNICATION FROM CITY FIRE CHIEF A communication was received from the Chief of the Fire Department of the City of Bellingham calling the Board's attention to the lack of fire escapes on the Normal School building, not in compliance with Ordinance #842. Also to the requirement of a stand-pipe for each division of the building. And also to a state law requiring all schools to hold fire drills. The Board took action upon the subjects therein discussed by referring the matter of providing fire escapes and stand-pipes for the school to Mr. Barlow. The matter of fire drills was referred to the Principal. ENTRANCE FEE REMITTED TO HALF-YEAR GRADUATES On motion it was ordered that mid-year graduates who have paid a full years entrance fee for the year 1913-1914 be remitted the balance in excess of the one semester charge. CONTINGENT V. C. TO MRS. POWELL The Matron, Mrs. Powell furnished an accounting for the expenditure of V. C. #1505 charged to the contingent fund, and it was ordered that another voucher check for $10 be issued in her favor for contingent purposes. CURRENT BILLS AUDITED AND ALLOWED The bill of Booker and Campbell for the masonry work in setting boiler #2 in the Normal building, amounting to $391.40, was discussed. An excess price of $2.50 per M on fire brick, a charge of $2.75 for express on tools, and a charge of 10% commission on all materials, blacksmithing and expressage were disallowed. These items having been deducted, the bill was allowed in the sum of $366.49, to be paid from Edens Hall funds. The bill of Christopher and Blythe for making new water connection with the training school annex, in the amount of $98.36, was approved with the exception of the final two items for "Threads, $2.40," and "Cuts, $.60," which were disallowed.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for February 1914 Volume 05 - Page 011 1914-02-11 SEVENTH ESTIMATE ON BRANDT and HARRIS CONTRACT The seventh estimate of Architect A. Lee on the work done on the training school annex under the contract of Brandt and Harris in the amount of $4706.75, was taken up and after discussion was held under advisement till another meeting of the board, soon to be called. REQUISITIONS AND EXPENDITURES It was directed by the Board that hereafter the Registrar have charge of issuing the requisitions. It was further directed that only expenditures of minor importance or immediate necessity should be authorized without application for the same having first been approved by the Board. The Board then adjourned. The foregoing minutes were read and approved. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for February 1914 Volume 05 - Page 012 1914-02-16 The Board of Trustees met in special session at their office in the Normal School at 7:30 p. m. Present: Trustees Barlow; Olsen and Smith, and the Registrar. SEVENTH ESTIMATE OF BRANDTand HARRIS The seventh estimate of Architect A. Lee of work done on the training school annex under the contract of Brandt and Harris, was brought up for consideration, the estimate being as follows: Bellingham, Washington, February 12, 1914. To the Hon. Board of Trustees, of the State Normal School, at Bellingham, Washington. Gentlemen:-- We beg to report that the contractors, Brandt and Harris, have now practically completed the work under contract of building the training school annex to the State Normal School Building, at Bellingham, Wash. as far as it is possible to do so at this season of the year. There is yet the painting of the roof, also some calcimining of the stairway halls yet to be done, but this work should not be done before next June, in order to get a proper job done. We would advise that this paint work be omitted at present, and an amount held back from the contr?? price to cover the cost of doing this work. We have estimated the cost of said unfinished work at the sum of $125.00. There is also one plumbing fixture that is broken and not in working order, the contractors state that they have a new one on the way to replace this broken fixture, but do not know when it will arrive. We would recommend that you hold back in reserve the sum of $75.00 until this fixture is made good. Otherwise we think that the contractors are now entitled to a settlement on the contract. As per a report made to you on August 14, 1913, stating that we had made some changes in the depth of the foundation footings, this making a deduction in the cost of the same of the sum of - $412.75 this amount to be deducted from the contract price. The contractors also used 900 old brick that belonged to the State the agreed price was $8.00 per m. making an additional deduction of $7.20. There had been some extra work done, and the place for the same has also been agreed on before the work was done as follows:-- To extra cost of strengthening the steel trusses - $320.00. " 1.- ventilating dormer formed on the roof - 96.00. " 1.- extra sink placed on the upper story floor - 51.60. " 2.- doors made with glass panels at $1.50 each - 3.00. Total amount of extras done - $470.60. After subtracting the two items to be deducted for omissions leaves a balance to be ?? to the contract price of - $50.65. The contract price agreed on for the whole work was the sum of Twenty four Thousand eight Hundred and Thirty nine Dollars and fifty cents - $24839.50. Adding the additional for extras - 50.65. Making total cost for the work at $24890.15. August 1, 1913, Net amount paid on estimate No. 1 $666.00. September 2, " " " " " " No. 2. $2110.50. October 1, " " No. 3. 5319.00. November 1, " " No. 4. 4910.40. December 1, " " No. 5. 3159.00. January 2,1914. " " No. 6. 4018.50. Total amount paid on estimates - $20183.40. Balance due on the cost of the work - $4706.75. Amount recommended to be held back until suitable to complete - $200.00. Amount due the State for water and fuel oil used during construction - $30.00. Respectfully submitted, A. Lee Architect. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for February 1914 Volume 05 - Page 013 1914-02-16 SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATE OF BRANDT and HARRIS The further estimate of Architect A. Lee of the work done under his supervision in remodeling and repairing the main building preparatory to connecting the same with the new annex, such work having been done by Brandt and Harris, was taken under consideration, it being as follows: Bellingham Washington January 20, 1914. To the Hon. Board of Trustees of the State Normal School at Bellingham, Washington. Gentlemen:- We beg to report that the contractors Brandt and Harris, have now completed the work of remodeling and repairing the main Normal school building at Bellingham, Washington so as to make it conform to plans and requirement to join the new training school annex and make all complete, The contract price for this work was the sum of $1060.00. Respectfully submitted, A. Lee, Architect. The foregoing estimate was approved and ordered paid from the Repairs and Improvements fund, in the sum of $1060. Resuming consideration of the seventh estimate above referred to, it was found that under the arrangement whereby Brandt and Harris had used water from the school's supply in their construction work, it was necessary to estimate the quantity so used. By comparison of the water cost to the school for the months of August, September, October and November, 1912, with the same period of 1913, the months when water was used by Brandt and Harris, it was found that the increase of cost was $41.05. It was therefore adjudged reasonable that $30.00 of this increase be charged to said Brandt and Harris, and it was so ordered. With this charge deducted, the estimate and recommendations of the architect as presented above were approved, and payment to said contractors was ordered in the sum of $4476.75 from the annex fund, in settlement of this estimate. BILL OF BRANDT and HARRIS FOR PLASTERING BOILER ROOM, andc. The bill of Brandt and Harris of $183.69 or $188.83 as variously presented, for lathing and plastering the boiler room ceiling and that of the adjacent entry, also for making alterations as to blackboards, was disallowed as to the sum demanded, calculation having shown that there were only about 130 yards of lathing and plastering done in and about the boiler room, whereas $155.83 was claimed for this work, which was regarded as excessive. Action upon the bill was deferred till the same should be amended or satisfactorily explained. The Board then adjourned. ##

Mathes to be incurred on a trip in acceptance of an invitation to him to address the annual meeting of school superintendents at Richmond, Va., in February. At this point Mr. Barlow arrived and superceded Mr. Olsen as Chairman. DEAN OF EDENS HALL HAS BOARD CHARGE REMITTED Miss Nellie A. Gray, Dean of Women, appeared before the Board and discussed the duties and compensation of the Dean of Edens Hall, recommending that the charge for board heretofore paid by the Dean of Edens Hall be remitted, commencing with the coming semester.

On motion Miss Gray's request was granted with the understanding that she is to signify to this Board not later than May 1, 1915, whether she intends to resume work in this institution at the close of her leave of absence. RECESS AND VISIT TO EDENS HALL At this time--5.30 p. m.--a recess of an hour and a half was taken and the participants in the meeting adjourned in response to the invitation of Mrs. Ida Powell, Matron of Edens Hall, who desired to bring the members of the Board into personal acquaintance with the service and accomodations afforded to its patrons by the institution under her charge. The hostess guided the visitors to the dining room, where the regular Wednesday dinner was being served to the regular assemblance of about 120 student boarders. The guests were assigned seats at one of the tables. The manner of administering to the physical needs of Normal School students was then demonstrated to the visitors, by whom it was thoroughly comprehended and heartily approved.

Present, Trustees Barlow, Olsen and Smith, and the Registrar. The minutes of the meeting of October 15 were read and on motion approved. SALARY OF REGISTRAR AND ASSISTANT The matter of the salary of the Registrar and of his assistant was taken up, and that of the Registrar was fixed at $120 per month, $95 payable from state funds and $25 from Edens Hall funds. The salary of the Registrar's assistant was fixed at $50 per month payable from state funds. Principal Mathes being absent, the following communication filed by him was presented: November 10, 1913. To the Board of Trustees, Bellingham State Normal School, Bellingham, Washington. Gentlemen:-- An engagement made some four months ago to attend a Teachers' institute this coming week in Stevens County renders it impossible for me to be present at the regular monthly meeting of your Board for the current month, and I desire, therefore, to submit for your consideration the following items relating to the work of the institution. First: The lining to the fire box under the boiler at Edens Hall gave way last week, and arrangements should be made immediately for repairing the same unless it is planned to furnish steam to Edens Hall from the main boilers in the near future. Mr. Lemach has made temporary repairs to last for a few days. He can give you particulars. Second: Within two or three weeks it will be necessary to put heat into the new addition if we hope to get it dried out and ready for occupancy by January 1st. It seems, therefore, that some definite information from expert authority ought to be secured to ascertain just what will be needed in the way of additional boiler capacity to handle all of this building after the addition is completed. It hardly seems possible that the single boiler now in use will furnish enough steam to heat all four parts of this building, and if cold weather should come upon us suddenly we might find it necessary to close school for several days because of a lack of heating capacity to warm the building. If an additional boiler cannot be purchased, I would recommend installing the one old boiler still on the ground and using it simply to furnish steam for the new addition. This would leave the new boiler recently installed free to supply steam only for the parts of the building now in use. In any event, some provision ought to be made very soon for heating the new wing. Third: I feel, also, that we ought to make provision in the near future to have the sewer from Edens Hall carried on out to the connection at the corner of Cedar and High Streets. Adding the sewer of the new addition to that sewer as it now stands will tend to overload it, and we will be in constant danger of trouble and heavy repairs unless we provide the new outlet, as contemplated. Fourth: Miss Norton and I have given considerable attention to the matter of furniture for the new addition and find that it will take about four dozen regular adjustable Triumph school desks, fourteen tablet desks, three dozen tablet arm chairs and four dozen small chairs, in addition to the desks and chairs that may be WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for November 1913 Volume 04 - Page 187 1913-11-12 moved over from the basement rooms now occupied in the present buildings. I recommend that the Trustees authorize the Principal or Registrar to place orders for this furniture in order that it may be on hand for installation during the holidays. It will be desirable to order the same style of chairs and desks that we now have in use. The cost of these desks and chairs will be about $475.00. Fifth: It will be advisable, also, to instruct the Principal or Registrar to secure bids for furnishing window shades for the new building. It will require about 78 or 80 shades, and they should not cost over $1.50 per shade installed. These bids can then be submitted at the next meeting of the Board. Sixth: The manual training shop is now connected with the sewer, and provision should be made to have stools installed in the two toilet rooms. The sewer pipe is roughed in in the floor in each toilet room and water is already in the building, so the expense for this installation ought not to be heavy. It would be very desirable to install a small white enamel wash bowl in each toilet room, but this may be omitted, if necessary. Nearly one hundred people work in the manual training shop each day, and there is urgent need to have these toilets installed promptly. Seventh: While in Spokane last week, attending the State Teachers' Association, I met Mr. J. L. Dumas and went over the Student Loan Fund matter with him. He does not like to make an exception in the case of the Bellingham State Normal School. All other schools have put up necessary bonds for the return of the money which Mr. Dumas had loaned, without interest, to various schools as a Student Loan Fund. He suggests that any five local citizens of standing will be acceptable, and I suggest that we make an effort to secure five people who will put up necessary bond to secure the sum of one thousand dollars from Mr. Dumas as a loan for our Student Loan Fund. We need not draw the entire sum, but can arrange to draw from Mr. Dumas just as much as we need to meet the demands up to one thousand dollars, and probably we will never have more than $400 or $500 at any one time from this grant. Personally, I believe we will have use for some of this money during the present year, and I am willing to become one of five men to make this money available for the use of our students. Eighth: At a recent meeting we reported that we were in conference with Barnhart Bros. and Spindler, of Seattle, regarding the loan of a small press for use in our printing department during the current year. They are willing to give us the use of a good rebuilt Chandler press 8 x 12" in size without cost during the present school year, on condition that we will buy the press next fall at a cost of $125.00. This press has been thoroughly overhauled and is mechanically perfect, so they state. The press sells for $165.00 when new. Mr. Gebaroff says that there is great need for an additional press in the printing department, and he favors accepting this proposition. He is willing to pay for the press out of the appropriation that may be made for his department next year by the Trustees from the funds that will still be available next fall for the maintenance of the various departments of the institution. Mr. Gebaroff reports that he is very much in need of additional type at this time. He estimates that $40.00 would purchase enough type to supply the need at present. We have hereto attached a letter from Barnhart Bros. and Spindler concerning the printing press. Ninth: We have also attached hereto the report of the faculty committee on contests, giving their recommendations for the division of prize money in the future. This report meets with the approval of the faculty and is recommended for adoption by the Board. In the past the Trustees have appropriated $60.00 each year to be used for prizes, and the balance of the money has been derived from various sources. The First National Bank has given from $15.00 to $20.00 annually for prizes and the Student Association makes an appropriation of $15.00 each year. Tenth: The plans for the new addition, as adopted, do not provide running water in any of the rooms on the third floor, and Mr. Patchin, Supervisor of our high school department, has requested that we have installed a sink with hot and cold water in some room on that floor. Mr. Lee asked Monroe and Haskell to make an estimate of the cost for installing a sink with hot and cold water in the southeast room on the upper floor, and they have estimated the cost at $51.60. As the contractors will plaster the rooms on this floor within the next few days, this plumbing should be installed immediately if it is to be included in this contract. Since one room on this floor is to be used as a laboratory and should have running water, we recommend that the architect be instructed to have this sink installed, as requested, upon the best possible terms. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for November 1913 Volume 04 - Page 188 1913-11-12 I shall be glad to attend to any of these matters that may be referred to me for adjustment. Respectfully submitted, Principal. The matters referred to in the foregoing were taken up, and disposed of as follows: REPAIRS TO E. H. FURNACE 1. The matter of repairs upon the Edens Hall furnace was assigned to Mr. Olsen with full power to act. ADDITIONAL BOILER 2. On motion it was ordered that an additional boiler like the one now in place be installed in the heating plant of the school. Mr. Olsen was empowered to secure proposals for furnishing and installing such a boiler, and to award a contract for the same. E. H. SEWER CONNECTION 3. The matter of extending the Edens Hall sewer to a connection with the High Street sewer at the corner of Cedar Street was assigned to Mr. Barlow with full power to act. BIDS FOR FURNITURE 4. The registrar was instructed to secure bids on such school furniture as the Principal recommended to be purchased for the new annex. BIDS FOR SHADES 5. The Registrar was also directed to procure bids on the furnishing of the 78 or 80 window shades that will be required for the new annex. BIDS FOR TOILETS IN M. T. SHOP 6. The Registrar was further instructed to secure bids for the furnishing and installing of two toilets in the Manual Training building; and for furnishing and installing also two small white enameled wash bowls in the toilet rooms of the same building. DUMAS LOAN 7. The matter of a loan of $1000 from Mr. J. L. Dumas, for reloaning to students, was left in the hands of Principal Mathes for arrangement. PRINTING PRESS 8. The subject of the purchase of an additional printing press for the manual training school was laid over without action. PRIZE FOR LITERARY CONTEST 9. The recommendation of the faculty committee for the appropriation of $60 to be disbursed as prizes in literary contests, was adopted, and the Registrar and Chairman authorized to issue a voucher in that sum in favor of the aforesaid committee. Following are the committee's recommendations in full: Nov. 5th, 1913. Normal School Board of Trustees; The committee on Contests recommend that the Board allow sixty-dollars ($60.00) for Contest purposes. They are as follows: Debate; First $25.00 Second $15.00 Declamation be divided into three divisions in order to give more students an opportunity. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for November 1913 Volume 04 - Page 189 1913-11-12 Prose narrative; First $10.00 Second $5.00. Dramatic poetry; " " " " Commited oratory; " " " " The entire amount given in prizes will be eighty-five dollars ($85.00) The difference will be presented by the Student Association and the First National Bank. Chairman. SINK FOR ANNEX 10. On motion the matter of installing a sink with hot and cold water piping in the south-east room of the upper floor of the new annex, was referred to Mr. Olsen with power to act. BRANDT HARRIS 4TH ESTIMATE The 4th estimate of Architect Lee on the contract of Brandt and Harris for the construction of the Training School Annex, in the sum of $4910.40 was presented, approved and a voucher ordered drawn for the payment of the same. ---ESTIMATE, NO. 4.--- To the Hon.

August 14th 1913. To the Hon. Board of Trustees of the State Normal School at Bellingham, Washington. Gentlemen: We beg to report that we find that there is two changes that is advisable and necessary to make in the construction of the Training school annex building under contract with Brandt and Harris as follows: First.- We find that hard bearing ground is reached at a higher level than that was expected and shown on the plans, therefore we have placed footings at a higher level than the figures given on the drawings, making less excavation and also less concrete walls, thus making less cost of WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for August 1913 Volume 04 - Page 177 1913-08-20 construction. We have estimated this difference of cost as follows:- 95 cubic yards of excavation at 45c per yard - $42.75. 46 1/4 cubic yards of concrete wall at $8.00 per yard - 370.00. Total amount to be deducted from contract price - $412.75. Second.- We find after checking over the strength and stiffness of the two steel trusses, and after consulting steel engineers on this matter, they have advised that we change these two trusses and make them stiffer in all horizontal beams, and in order not to delay the contractors more than possible we have made a new sheet of detail drawings and instructed the contractors to substitute heavier trusses in place of the ones under contract, as shown by the accompanying drawing, this construction adds more labor in making these trusses and also adds 5210 lbs more steel, thus making more cost, we have estimated this extra cost of these two steel trusses, which cost to be added to the contract price is-- $320.00. Trusting that these two changes will meet your approval we remain yours truly, A. Lee Architect. On motion of Trustee Olson the foregoing recommendations were adopted. The principal reported that Mrs. Tillett, Mrs. Smith and Mr. Carver had accepted the election made at the last meeting of the trustees.

It should be borne in mind that these sums are intended to cover only the first year of the biennial period, and further that no appropriation has been included for the Training Department. The needs of the Training School should be taken up when the new addition is completed. Respectfully WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for July 1913 Volume 04 - Page 163 1913-07-23 The Principal reported that Miss Sheafer of the Physical Culture Department had asked for four floor mats. She was authorized to purchase them. Attorney S. M. Bruce, having informally suggested that in the proposed improvement of Cedar Street that the center of the street be moved several feet toward the campus, and some grave legal questions having arisen in regard to such action, acting chairman Barlow was directed to investigate and report at the next meeting of the Board. Principal Mathes was authorized to make the usual minor improvements about the building during vacation. Principal Mathes was directed to secure bids for linoleum to cover the floor of the room recently added to the library. Principal Mathes was directed to make alternations upon the third floor of the Science Annex to accommodate the Drawing Department at a cost of not to exceed $200.00 or $300.00. Architect Lee was directed to examine the roof of the main building and to report on its condition at the next meeting of the Board. Principal Mathes was directed to call for bids for the plumbing necessitated by transferring the Home Economics Department from its present quarters to the rooms to be vacated by the Drawing Department. The employment of a team and two men to level the surface of the play ground was left to Trustee Olsen and Principal Mathes. The chairman was instructed to sign the diplomas and certificates to be issued at the close of the Summer Session. The principal reported that Miss Hogle had been in the habit of charging 25c for lettering diplomas and 15c for life diplomas, but that he had had the work done at no extra cost by his private secretary. The board approved the action. Mrs. Powell suggested the idea of purchasing special dishes for the dormitory. After discussion the board concluded it would be unwise to make the purchase at this time. Principal Mathes presented the appended communication: July 23rd, 1913. To the Board of Trustees, State Normal School, Bellingham, Washington. Gentlemen:-- I desire at this time to say officially that I do not expect to be a candidate to succeed myself as Principal of the Bellingham State Normal School in the spring of 1914, and I am making this formal announcement at this time in order that the Board of Trustees may, without embarrassment from any source, proceed to formulate plans for the carrying out of any policies that they may have in mind for the future management of this institution. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for July 1913 Volume 04 - Page 164 1913-07-23 Few persons, I believe, will seriously question my great interest in the welfare of the institution, and I trust that I may be pardoned for expressing the hope that the Trustees will investigate carefully all applicants who may present themselves for the position, in order that they may be able to secure one of the very best all-round normal school men in this country to serve as my successor. In order that the Trustees may have opportunity to become fully acquainted with the needs of the institution and have ample time to investigate fully the claims of all candidates, I have signed a contract for the coming school year, but if plans can be made I desire to be relieved of all duties in the institution not later than June, 1914. As you are aware, I have secured business interests here and intend to make this city my home in the future. In order to take advantage of this opportunity to establish myself in congenial business interests, it was necessary to make this purchase at this time, but I have placed a competent manager in charge of the business, and intend to devote my entire time to the interests of the Normal School while I am principal of the institution. In conclusion, when I took charge of the school in May, 1899, I fully realized that the first man in such a position is privileged only to lay foundations, and through the loyal support of the Trustees and the hearty cooperation of a large part of the faculty, my ideals have, in a large measure, been realized. During these years it has been my privilege to see the institution assume an honorable place among the normal schools of the entire country, and I am deeply grateful for the privileges offered in this service.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for May 1913 Volume 04 - Page 148 1913-05-20 Minutes of a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Bellingham State Normal School held in their room this afternoon at 5 o'clock. Present: John J. Edens, Jeremiah Neterer, F. J. Barlow, Principal Mathes and the Registrar. Trustees Neterer and F. J. Barlow filed the appended oath of office. STATE OF WASHINGTON COUNTY OF WHATCOM. SS. The undersigned, being first duly sworn, each for himself and not one for the other, deposes and says: I am a citizen of the United States; I will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution and laws of the State of Washington, and will faithfully discharge the duties of trustee of the State Normal School at Bellingham, Washington, to the best of my ability, so help me God. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 20th day of May, 1913. Mr. Edens stated that he had filed his resignation of his commission as trustee with Governor Lister under date of May 6th, but that this morning he had received a written request, which he read, from the governor asking him to stay in service until the close of his present commission, viz., June 12th, 1913, the governor stating in his communication that he had appointed Mr. C. M. Olsen to fill the place now held by Mr. Edens, such appointment to take effect on that date. Mr. Edens expressed a desire to be relieved of duty at once; but Trustees Neterer and Barlow demurred and at their solicitation decided to accede. Thereupon Mr. Edens was elected chairman of the Board. The principal announced that Dr. Van Horn of Seattle would deliver the baccalaureate sermon and that Raymond C. Brooks of Walla Walla would be the commencement speaker. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for May 1913 Volume 04 - Page 149 1913-05-20 The Principal presented the appended: May 20, 1913. To the Board of Trustees, State Normal School, Bellingham, Washington. Gentlemen:-- Regular class work for the present school year will close two weeks from today, and the fourteenth annual Commencement of the Normal School will be held in the following day, June 4th. On that ???, the the Commencement address will be delivered by Rev. Raymond C. Brecks, of Walla Walla, Washington, and about eighty-five students will receive diplomas. On Monday morning, June 9th, the summer session for 1913 will open and it is expected that not less than five hundred students will ??? for work. With one exception, our entire faculty will remain for service in the summer session and several additional teachers have been employed by the Board of Trustees as special instructors. Among these we wish to mention Dr. Charles McMurry, of De Kalb, Ill., an author of national reputation, he will be present for three weeks, beginning June 16th, and will lecture daily before the student body. We have also engaged County Superintendent P. E. Hulse, of Bremerton, to conduct special work for rural school teachers during the summer term. These items are given simply to indicate that the present school year is about to close, and in this connection we beg to suggest that there are several important matters which should receive the attention of the Board of Trustees as soon as ???. First: For the past two years, the Training Department of the Normal School has been very much crowded, and an appropriation of $31,000.00 was made by the last Legislature for the erection and equipment of an addition to the Training School building. In order that there might be as little delay as possible in getting the contruction of this addition under way, an architect was employed early in April to prepare plans and specifications for the addition. There were prepared by Mr. Lee, and are ready for the consideration of this Board. If the plans and specifications meet with the approval of the Board, bids for the construction of this building may be called for now at any time. Since this building is to be erected as an addition to the present Training School building , it is especially desirable that as much of the construction work be completed during vacation as possible in order that the work of the contractors may not interfere seriously with the regular school work next September. For this reason we recommend that bids be called for and a contract for the erection of the building be made as soon as possible, in order that the building may be ready for use during the coming school year. Second: The addition of the new building to our present plant will make it necessary for the Board of Trustees to consider the remodeling of the heating plant, for the present system of boilers WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for May 1913 Volume 04 - Page 150 1913-05-20 is already taxed to its capacity in serving the present set of buildings. These boilers have been in use now for a number of years, and it is recommended by reliable authorities that they be removed and two modern boilers installed, of sufficient capacity to supply all of the needs of the institution. It is recommended, therefore that the Trustees appoint a special committee to investigate carefully the whole problem of heating and ventilation, with a view of making such changes as may be found necessary in connection with the erection of the buildings now under construction. Third: For the past fourteen years, the institution has used wood exclusively for fuel, but as the plant has increased in size, it has been necessary to purchase a greater quantity of wood, until at present it requires about six hundred cords of 4-foot wood annually to operate the heating plant. ??? to the had roads in the winter, it is advisable to contract to have all of this fuel delivered in the summer time, and it takes about an acre of valuable ground to provide room enough for the storage of the fuel for the institution. This great pile of wood is objectionable, first, from the standpoint of appearance; second, because it necessitates a constant extra expense in the way of employment of help to wheel the wood into the boiler room; and, third, it deprives the children of the Training School of a large stretch of campus which is needed as a play ground. It is therefore recommended that the Board of Trustees look carefully into the advisability of the adoption of crude oil as a fuel for the institution. We are informed that reliable companies stand ready to enter into a contract to furnish oil for fuel for a period of years under a graduated scale of prices. Fourth:--The last Legislature appropriated the sum of $136,060.00 for salaries for the present biennial period, which makes available about $68,000.00 per year. It will be necessary to use about $61,000.00 of this amount toward paying the salaries of the teachers and other employees who were re-elected on May 5th by the Trustees for the coming school year. This leaves about $7,000.00 available for the employment of new teachers. We wish to recommend strongly that a thoroughly practical schoolman be employed to take charge of a rural school department in the institution, to begin work next September. In this connection, we wish to suggest that practically all teachers have already been employed throughout the state for the coming year, and if we hope to secure a good strong man for this position, we should take action in this matter in the very near future. If prompt action is taken, I believe we could secure the services of County Superintendent T. K. Hulse, of Bremerton. He has already been engaged to take charge of rural school work during the summer session. Our institution has for four years been doing some work for rural school teachers, but the time has come when a separate department should be established for this week and a teacher employed to give his entire time to this department. It will also be necessary to employ an additional Critic Teacher for the coming year, and an assistant teacher for the departments of Oral Expression and Vocal Music. Respectfully submitted, Principal. The following bills were approved for payment: Maintenance Fund Hazel Mill Co. - $489.40. Kirkman and Smith - 160.00. Earles-Cleary L. and S. Co. - 49.39. V. E.

Dumas of Walla Walla had visited the school yesterday and in a conference concerning his proposal to place a fund at the disposal of this school to assist deserving students had tendered a check of $250.00 to meet pressing demands. The Registrar had accepted the check conditioned upon the approval of the Board of Trustees. This matter is referred to on page 32, 53 and 79 of these minutes.)

Edens of the Board of Trustees, Principal Mathes and Registrar Clark, held in the Registrar's office this morning at 10:30 o'clock. At its meeting of March 25th, the Board of Trustees instructed the Principal and Registrar to secure bids from local architects for the preparation of plans and the supervision of the construction of an addition to the training department, and to accept the best bid. In response to invitation, the following bids were received: G. Stanley Piper, 3.5% of cost. William Cox, 3.5 % of cost. T. F. Doan, 2% of cost. A. Lee, 3% of cost. In view of the fact that Mr. Lee agreed to add to the amount of contract for the new building, the cost of the recently erected fire proof vault and the contract for putting brick walls under the manual training building and charge 3% upon the total cost, instead of asking for special compensation on each of the latter jobs, his bid was regarded as the best of the bids submitted and he was selected as architect for the new addition. At the same meeting of the Board of Trustees, namely, that held March 25th, the Principal was authorized to secure bids for constructing brick walls under the manual training building. In response to the appended published notice, the following bids were received and opened: F. E. Headrick, $2,156.00. George A. Dickinson, $2,345.00. Harris and Eklund, $2,363.00. Each of the foregoing bids were accompanied by a certified check equal to 5% of the individual bid. F. E. Headrick was named as the lowest bidder and notified that he would receive the contract.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1913 Volume 04 - Page 142 1913-04-23 The Principal reported that Mr. Patchin had asked for permission to employ a substitute during summer school. After a discussion, the Registrar was directed to notify Mr. Patchin that the Board felt obliged to deny his request, but expressed a feeling that it would be willing for Mr. Patchin to work until the first of July, and then Mr. Patchin be allowed to take a vacation that month, sacrificing his salary, under the rules, and the Board choosing a substitute. Miss Baker notified the Principal last fall, that she would not teach in summer school the coming summer, but after other arrangements had been made to fill her place, she recently stated that she desired to work in summer school. It was ordered that this matter be left open until the next meeting, with the understanding that Professor Deerwester, Dean of summer school, would determine at that time, whether Miss Baker's services will be needed. The matter of insuring the school building and contents came up for discussion. In this connection the appended correspondence was presented: Letter to Attorney General. April 7th, 1913. Honorable Vaughn Tanner, Attorney General, Olympia, Washington. My Dear Mr. Tanner:-- We write to ask if it would be legal for the trustees of this institution to place some insurance upon our buildings. We are simply asking this for general information and trust that it will not be necessary for you to make an extensive examination to answer our request. As we understand the matter, the State does not carry insurance on any of these buildings, and whether this is true because of the terms of the law or whether it is simply a general policy, is a point on which we are not informed. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) E. T. Mathes. Principal. Letter from Attorney General. April 14th, 1913. Mr. E. T. Mathes, Principal State Normal School, Bellingham, Washington. Dear Sir:-- We have your letter of the 7th inst., in which you ask whether the trustees of the state normal school have the power to place insurance upon the normal school buildings. We find no provision of the law which give them that power expressly, but we think such power may be implied from the provisions of section 4363, Rem. and Bal., which, among other things, provides: "Each board of normal school trustees shall have power, and it shall be its duty- * * * Fourth; To have charge of the erection of all buildings pertaining to the school, unless otherwise expressly provided, and to have the care and management of all buildings and other property belonging to the school. * * * Sixth; * * * and to do such other things not forbidden by law as may be necessary for the good of the school." We think that the placing of insurance upon school buildings may well be considered as necessary to the care and management of the school, and your question is therefore answered in the affirmative. Respectfully yours, (Signed) J. T. S. Lyle Assistant Attorney General. See Insert at bottom of page 143. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1913 Volume 04 - Page 143 1913-04-23 Inasmuch as Registrar Clark expected to be in Olympia before the close of the week, action in the matters of insurance, style of the construction of the new training school addition, and the lease of a piece of ground for agricultural and horticultural education, was deferred until he had consulted Governor Lister. The Registrar presented a copy of instructions, regarding a uniform system of accounting for all of the institutions of the State, from the Bureau of Inspection and Supervision of Public Offices. The Principal stated that Miss Prouty desired to resign the first of May and unless there was objection, he would make the choice of her successor. The Principal stated that he had sent a copy for the new catalogue to Olympia. He also stated that the two carpenters, who had been making cases for the museum had just about completed their work and he would employ them at once on the new manual training building. He also reported that he had mailed four thousand circulars regarding summer school to most of the rural school teachers of the State. He also reported that Miss Norton had attended the Conference of Deans at Pullman, instead of Miss Gray, who is confined to her home by illness. He further stated that in accordance with instructions, Mr. Bond had attended the meeting of the Empire Teachers' Association, at Spokane. The action of the faculty in granting a elementary certificate to Beryl Batdorf was approved. The Principal stated that the contractor who had the work of raising the manual training building about 18 feet for $125.00, had, in accordance with instructions, raised it about one foot higher than his original plan and would probably appear with a bill for extras. The Registrar reported that he had mailed the Bureau of Inspection and Supervision of Public Offices, the usual quarterly report. The appended list of bills was audited and approved for payment: Maintenance Fund S. W. Cornish Paint Co. - $23.10. West Disinfecting Co. - 25.00. Union P. B. and S. Co. - 9.55. Western Wood Working Co. - 209.28. Morse Hardware Co. - 50.40. Munro and Haskell - 100.04. P. K. Dodd - 30.19. Ginn and Company - 160.00. Young Manufacturing Co. - 35.00. Ginn and Company - 40.00. The Registrar reported that under a recent survey, the Board rate had been named at 75c per $100.00 for one year or $1.50 per $100.00 for three years. C. A. Horst submitted a written proposition naming a non-board rate as follows: " .6425 per $100.00 for one year or 1.285 per 100.00 for three years. " In case that you desire to have the 70, 80 or 90% Co-insurance Clauses attached to the policies, then the above rate is subject to a still further reduction as follows:-- For the 70% Co-insurance Clause a reduction of 20%. For the 80% Co-insurance Clause a reduction of 25%. For the 90% Co-insurance Clause a reduction of 30%.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for February 1913 Volume 04 - Page 137 1913-02-24 The following communication to the Mayor, Board of Public Works and City Council, with regard to the permanent improvement of High and Indian Streets and Garden Drive, from High Street to a connection with Garden Street, was the result of a thorough discussion of the matter and unanimous adoption by the Board: February 25th, 1913. To the Honorable, The Mayor, Board of Public Works, and City Council. Gentlemen:-- The Trustees of the State Normal School respectfully ask that you proceed to secure the improvement of High Street, from Oak to Cedar and Cedar Street from High to Indian, past the Normal campus and Garden Drive from High Street to a connection with Garden Street, with suitable concrete curbs and gutters and concrete foundation, five inches thick between the curbs, together with such wearing surface as seems most suitable. This school is patronized by twelve hundred students and pupils annually, and the approaches to the school are not creditable to the State or city. We have made repeated efforts and requests to have this condition improved. Last year the effort failed, largely through including some streets not vital, though desirable. The above request is for the minimum. We are willing to agree to such width and wearing surface as you may determine, but we ask that the work be ordered by resolution and that you proceed with the least possible delay. The foregoing petition was approved by the Board of Trustees at its meeting of February 24th, 1913. Registrar. Michael Hendershott, present night watchman, was directed to take his former position as gardener on March 1st, at a salary of $65.00 per month, effective from that date. The Principal was authorized to employ a man as night watch and fireman, to take his place. The Registrar was authorized to investigate to matter of building insurance and boiler insurance. The Principal presented a letter from P. S. T. L. and. P. Co., under date of February 24th, proposing to furnish the Manual Training Department with single phase motors, exchanging our old single phase motor for a new one of the same capacity, free of charge; further proposing that at any time the total load may be developed to exceed 20 H. P., to furnish three phase service and exchanging H. P. for H. P., and new three phase motors for the old single phase motors. The Principal was authorized to make such arrangements with the company, as will protect the interests of the school, along the line of the proposals in the letter referred to. The Principal was authorized to call for bids for the raising of the manual training building to a height which would allow a first story and basement; bids to be presented as soon as possible. There being no further business, the Board adjourned. Minutes approved. ##

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.

Total Secondary Certificates - 615. Total Five-year Diplomas - 627. Total Life Diplomas - 356. Total Number Certificates and Diplomas - 1,950. In conclusion, the trustees of this school beg to express their appreciation of the support that has been accorded the institution during the past, both by patrons and those in legislature authority, and extend to the people of the state generally a cordial invitation to visit the institution, inspect the daily work of faculty and students and examine carefully the buildings and equipment that have been provided with the appropriations made for the purpose. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. EDENS, Chairman. JOHN J. DONOVAN EMERSON HAMMER Board of Trustees. On recommendation of the Principal, it was ordered that Doctor Charles McMurry be engaged for three weeks of service at the summer school of 1913, at a salary of $500.00 for the term. The Principal recommended the appointment of two assistant supervisors in the Training School, each at a salary of approximately $1000.00 a year; service to begin with the opening of the next semester. It was ordered that W. E. Moore of Everett, be appointed instructor in penmanship, for a term of four months; service to be one day a week; salary to be $50.00 per month.

Present: Chairman J. J. Edens, Trustees J. J. Donovan and Emerson Hammer, Principal Mathes and the Registrar. The minutes of the meeting of Aug. 23rd were read and approved. Consideration was then resumed of the case of Miss Mollie Buck who had been refused a diploma by the faculty and who alleged prejudice. A letter was read by the Registrar from Mr. A. P. Romine in response to a request as to the significance of a mark of "F" he had placed against Miss Buck's record in geology in 1903-04. Mr. Epley appeared before the Board and stated that he was willing to give Miss Buck and examination on the matter referred to in Mr. Romine's letter. Mr. Bond also appeared and stated that Miss Buck had failed under him in solid geometry and arithmetic methods. Miss Baxter stated that Miss Buck entered her class in senior observation one week late last summer session; that she submitted one plan in the six called for, was marked "failure" on that plan and that Miss Buck had a passing grade only on general class work. Mr. Patchin read a statement dealing with Miss Buck's "spirit and attitude toward her work" done under him. The appended formal resolution was then presented and unanimously carried: "Resolved: in the case of Miss Mollie Buck that after hearing by letter from Mr. A. P. Romine, and devoting more than one hour to hearing statements by Mr. Epley, Mr. Bond, Mr. Patchin and Miss Baxter, we find that Miss Mollie Buck is not entitled to a diploma until she complies with the requirements of the above-mentioned teachers, which requirements are in accordance with the regulations of the school covering the granting of diplomas." The Registrar was directed to return the thanks of the Board to Mr. Romine for his courtesy in writing so fully and explicitly. Mr. Deerwester then read a statement relative to the work done by Miss Buck as correspondence work. The Board directed $4.00 of the fee to be returned to Miss Buck. The Registrar was instructed to prepare a book in which the members of the faculty should enter: The number of days in each month spent in service in the school; the number of days of service outside the school in such work as attending institutes and the like; the number of days absent and the dates and reason for absence. CORRESPONDENCE COURSE AND NON-RESIDENT ENROLLMENT FEES. The action of this Board taken at its meeting of July 12, 1912, in respect to the establishment of correspondence courses was rescinded and in lieu thereof the appended rules and regulations were adopted: Such members of the faculty as may desire to do so may offer a limited amount of correspondence work. Each department is to make such requirements for the work offered as it may deem necessary. Courses are to be divided into major and minor courses, a major course being on in which the credits are three or more and a minor course being one in which the credits are less than three. The fee for a major course shall be $5.00 and The fee for a minor course shall be $2.50. All fees for correspondence courses must be paid before any work is assigned. The payment of the correspondence course fee will include the usual fee for final examination. No fee of part thereof shall be refunded. No books are to be furnished by the school either from the school library or other courses. Students taking correspondence courses and resident in Bellingham or vicinity will be allowed full consultation privileges of the school library, but will not be permitted to withdraw books under a correspondence course fee. If such students desire to withdraw books they must regularly enroll and pay the library fee. The payment of a correspondence course fee will be regarded as equivalent to enrollment for the year in which the fee is paid, and no student taking such a course will be required to pay a library fee to secure enrollment in order to gain a certificate or diploma. Students not in attendance in school who enroll for a correspondence course or who pay a library fee for the purpose of securing enrollment shall not be required to pay Students Association or School Nurse Fund fees.

The Principal reported that he had appointed as Assistant Stenographer, Blanche Prouty, at a salary of $35.00, until the first of January, 1913, and $40.00 per month thereafter, in case of satisfactory service; also that Mrs. Ethel E.

The Principal reported that the janitors had received letters calling their attention to violation of the eight hour law, the allegation being that they were working more than eight hours a day. He recommended the appointment of a night janitor, who should be in service from 10:00 P. M. to 6:00 A. M. The Board expressed itself in favor of the foregoing recommendation. The Registrar reported that W. S. Darrow, State Examiner, beginning October 10th last, had critically examined the books in the Registrar's office from August first, 1909 to October 10th, 1912, and had certified to their correctness of the latter date, such certification being found, bound in the ledger. The Registrar also stated that in accordance with an informal agreement between the Trustees, the school had paid the State Examiner the sum of $176.00--22 days at $8.00 per day--and that he had also provided the services of Miss Spearin as clerk, and had paid her $14.00 for her labor, making the total cost of the examination, $190.00. He also reported that the State Examiner had made a complete inventory of the Normal school grounds, buildings, plant and equipment; that the real property of the school, exclusive of the buildings, was estimated at $40,000.00 and that the aggregate value of the entire Normal school property was placed at approximately $301,550.00.

Total Receipts 1911-1912 - 11361.61. In 1909-1910 there was charged to Steam Plant, Repairs, Improvements and Expense which was of a nature of investment, and $300 for fuel for heating, the sum of $1470.61 and the nominal less on operation was about $136.00. Fuel for heating was not charged the two following years. Where that term is used in those years it refers to coal for the kitchen range. In 1910-1911 there was charged to the Annex and Expense the sum of $847.03 and the gain in operation of the hall that year was about $1000.00. In 1911-1912 there was charged to Repairs and Expense $722.11; Annex $569.42 and Insurance $120.00, a total of $1483.06 and the loss in operation was $1787.95. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for September 1912 Volume 04 - Page 113 1912-09-17 Your Registrar has given this loss as careful an analysis as possible and begs to submit the results: Food Supplies. In 1909-1910 there was expended for food supplies: including Groceries, Meat, Milk, Bread, Butter, Eggs, Pickles, Vegetables, Miscellaneous and Ice, the sum of - $7095.05. In 1910-1911 for the same items there was expended - $7483.35. In 1911-1912 for the same items - $7988.20. In 1909-1910 there were furnished approximately Week's board (viz, board of 21 meals per week) - 3216. 147--$3.50 meal tickets - 147. 399--$1.60 " " - 114. Reduced to weeks board - 3477.

In 1911-1912 Week's board - 3170. 287--$3.50 meal tickets - 287. 270--$1.00 " " - 80. Reduced to weeks board - 2537. Dividing the cost of Food Supplies by the number of weeks board we get the cost of a weeks board for the various years as follows: 1909-1910 - 2.04. 1910-1911 - 2.24. 1911-1912 - 2.26. Help Help includes Salaries of Matron, Registrar as accountant, Cook, Assistant Cook and Kitchen help, Fireman and extra help. In 1909-1910 help cost - 1976.00. In 1910-1911 " " - 1785.15. In 1911-1912 " " - 2163.65. By the same process as shown under "Food Supplies," Help cost per weeks board 1909-1910 - .57. 1910-1911 - .53. 1911-1912 - .61. Ordinary Expense Light and light supplies, telephone, furniture, kitchen and tableware, and laundry cost as follows: WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for September 1912 Volume 04 - Page 114 1912-09-17 In 1909-1910 - 931.49. 1910-1911 - 1271.50. 1911-1912 - 1334.05. And the per week's board cost was In 1909-1910 - .27-. " 1910-1911 - .38+. " 1911-1912 - .38-. Food Supplies - (1909-1910) 2.04, (1910-1911) 2.24, (1911-1912) 2.26. Help - (1909-1910) .57, (1910-1911) .53, (1911-1912) .61. Ordinary Expense - (1909-1910) .27, (1910-1911) .38, (1911-1912) .38. Total 1909-1910 - 2.88. Total 1910-1911 - 3.15. Total 1911-1912 - 3.25. The conclusions are that either the cost of food supplies or the scale of living have increased materially in three years and that on the basis given above Edens Hall has not received in its $2.75 per week board the cost of board. The receipts from the hall were 11,137.05, 11,232.22, and 11,361.61 for the years 1909, 1910 and 1911. These receipts include room rent, but they indicate that the hall is about at its limit in earning capacity. An advance of 25c a week for board would yield approximately $900.00. Departmental Accounts Home Economics This department shows that expenses the last year exceeded receipts by about $100.00. Manual Training This department shows a little over $200.00 increase in receipts over expenditures. It should be stated, however, that at times it is out of the question to segregate in some invoice the amount chargeable to different departments as, for instance in an invoice for fine lumber how much is chargeable to the general use of the school and how much to Manual Training department. Water It will be of interest to your board to know that the change last winter of $35.00 a month on water to a meter basis resulted in a saving the first six months of a little over $90.00.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for September 1912 Volume 04 - Page 116 1912-09-17 The Principal announced that George Heath, the janitor, intended to leave the service of the school the first of February, and that David Hintz had made an application for the position. The choice of the janitor was left with the Principal. The Principal recommended that the Board of Trustees establish the position of Dean of summer school; that Prof. Deerwester be elected to that position, and that he be paid the sum of $250.00 extra, for that work. The Board took no action. It was ordered that the Principal of the school be authorized to engage two or three leading lecturers and educators, if he can secure them, for the summer school of 1913. The following communication from Mr. Moodie was presented: Board of Regents, Bellingham State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash., Gentlemen:- In consideration of our continued relation with "The Puget Sound Marine Station," I consider it desirable and most excellent for advancing the standing of our Institution to continue our connections with the Puget Sound Marine Station at Friday Harbor; both from the point of view of scholarship and scientific progress along biological lines. First, I recommend that a member of our Biological Department be continued to act as a member of the council for the Marine Station. (See Bulletin). Second, That our Institution send a faculty representative every alternate summer to attend the Marine Station and collect material. Third, That our Institution pay all expenses connected with the transportation, collection, preservation and incidental expenses incurred during the progress of such work. Fourth, That our students may if they so desire, attend the Marine Station and earn the necessary credits required by our Institution for graduation. Signed W. L. Moodie. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for September 1912 Volume 04 - Page 117 1912-09-17 The Principal was authorized to make or purchase suitable tables and chairs for the department of Home Economics, and if possible, to find a place in the building for their use.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for August 1912 Volume 04 - Page 103 1912-08-23 Miss Mollie Buck, who also appears in the records of the institution under the name of Miss Mollie Brown, appealed to the Board on the ground that she had been denied a diploma to which she was entitled on her record. She ascribed the refusal of the faculty to grant her diploma in part to the animosity of Mr. Patchin and in part to the refusal of Mr. Epley to give her a special examination on work she had done under Mr. Romine in 1905. The records showing that in 1903-04 she had geology under Mr. Romine and that he had marked her "F", the registrar was instructed to write Mr. Romine asking him the exact scope of his marking of "F". Miss Buck also complained that she had been charged a correspondence course fee of $5.00 in History of Education. She contended that the work done in this study had been done in class and not outside of school and that at most she should not be charged for anything except a special examination. The Board decided to lay the matter on the table until a reply could be had from Mr. Romine as to the meaning of his marking and until the return of Mr. Deerwester, the head of the Department of Education. It was also ordered that Mr. Epley be requested to appear before the Board at the next meeting. The matters of a proposed chance in the price of meal tickets at Edens Hall and the employment of a man to take charge of the details of the correspondence course and extension work and also teach in school were laid over until the next meeting.

Present: Chairman J. J. Edens, Trustee J. J. Donovan, Principal Mathes and the Registrar. The minutes of the meetings of May 7th and June 5th were read and approved. The appended letter from Governor M. E. Hay was read: June 29, 1912. Chairman, Board of Trustees, State Normal School, C/o Prof. E. T. Mathes, Bellingham Washigton. My dear Sir: I am advised that there is some little feeling arising among the boards of our various educational institutions relative to the board of one institution attempting to hire instructors away from some of the other institutions. This is a spirit I do not like, and I trust its practice will be discontinued. If one institution desires an employee of another, it should be taken up through the board of the institution from which the employee is wished to be drawn. I am not criticising any one board, as this instruction goes out to each of the five. Permit me to suggest that it might be well worth while for the five boards to meet together, say once or twice each year, and if this meets with the approval of your board I will try to arrange date and place of meeting. I would be pleased to have you suggest a date upon which this meeting could be held. With kind regards, I am, Very respectfully yours, Governor. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for July 1912 Volume 04 - Page 096 1912-07-12 The Registrar was instructed to send a reply to the governor stating that this school, since its organization, has not directly or indirectly hired an instructor or employee away from any other educational institution of the State of Washington, but that the Board of Trustees is prepared to send a representative to such a meeting as outlined at any time or place named by the governor. The registrar presented the following letter from Miss Almina George: June 6, 1912. Members of the Board of Trustees, State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash. Gentlemen,- I have signed the accompanying contract, but I would like to make the following reservation, that my salary from September 1,1912 to December 1, 1913 shall amount to at least $2200, providing that I teach in the summer school of 1913. This agreement would not extend, naturally, to any time beyond September 1, 1913. I wish to state that I have enjoyed working in this school and wish to thank you all this time for the uniformly courteous treatment and consideration you have always shown me. Should you feel unable to accede to this request, I should be glad to be notified at your earliest convenience. I appreciate the fact that your first consideration must be given to the school as a whole and not to individuals. Very respectfully, Almina George. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for July 1912 Volume 04 - Page 097 1912-07-12 The principal offered the following report and recommendations: State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash., July 12, 1912 To the Board of Trustees: We beg to report that Mrs. Mamie Davenport Engberg has been engaged to take charge of instruction in violin during the school year 1912-'13 upon the following terms: Mrs. Engberg shall receive no salary from the institution but shall have the right to make reasonable tuition charge for lessons given. The institution shall provide a room in which Mrs. Engberg may give lessons and hold orchestra practice, if such orchestra is organized among the students of the school. It is also understood that Mrs. Engberg shall furnish music by her pupils for entertainments in the institution when requested to do so, and shall cooperate with other teachers of the school in making the musical work both efficient and successful. We also beg to report that Mrs. Edna Baylor Shaw has been engaged to teach piano upon the same terms as those outlined for the teacher of violin. We beg further to recommend the election of Mr. Andrew Gebaroff of Winneconne, Wis., as a teacher of manual training for men for the school year 1912-'13, at a salary of $1,260. At a recent meeting of the faculty, it was voted that such departments as care to do so may offer a limited amount of correspondence work. Each department is to make such requirements for the work offered as it may deem necessary, but a uniform fee of $5.00 for each subject taken is recommended. This fee shall include the usual fee for final examination in the WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for July 1912 Volume 04 - Page 098 1912-07-12 subject, and it is recommended that no library fee, or other fees, be charged against students who enroll simply for this work. It is also recommended that this fee be paid by students in advance of assignment of work, and that no part of this fee be refunded. We beg further to report that Miss George has decided that she will decline the offer of a position in the Seattle city school system, upon the condition that her salary in this institution shall be $200 per month, from Sept. 1, 1912 to April 1, 1913, and not less than $2700 per year, under the terms of the new contract, after April 1, 1913. We recommend favorable consideration on this question if the trustees feel that the financial conditions of the institution will admit of such advancement. It will be recalled that last June Miss Wilson was promised an increase in salary for the coming year. Under the old plan of employment, Miss Wilson was entitled to be excused from work in summer school in 1913, but under the new contract she will be required to remain for that summer school in order to draw the full $1,500 promised. If she should not remain for the summer session next year, she would receive less salary than she has received for the present year. It may be added that the librarian is not regularly a member of the faculty and any special contract made with her would not necessarily affect the contracts with the regular teachers. We do not feel that we have any special recommendation to make on this case at this time. Respectfully submitted, Principal. It was ordered that Andrew Cebaroff be elected teacher of manual training for men for the school year 1912-1913 at a salary of $1260.00. The recommendation that correspondence courses by instituted was approved in full. The principal was instructed to interview Miss George and say to her that "the Board has the highest appreciation of her services and would regret exceedingly to see her leave this institution and hope she will not do so, but that under existing circumstances we are unable to pay her more than $190.00 per month until April 1st of next year, at which time full consideration of all the facts in the case will be had and we will endeavor to agree upon a satisfactory salary." The principal was also instructed to say to Miss Wilson that her salary will remain at the figure fixed by the Board, viz., $1500 for the coming year until April 1st when the Board will take up the matter of adjustment. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for July 1912 Volume 04 - Page 100 1912-07-12 It was ordered that the appropriation for summer school be increased from $400.00 to $700.00 and that the appended scale of salaries be paid: J. T. Forrest for six weeks - $65.00. F. W. Epley " " - 90.00. Rose Baxter " " - 180.00. Florence Fox Thatcher " - 80.00. Maude Drake " - 140.00. R. C. Tibbels " - 75.00. Harry Heath " - 25.00. S. E. Carver " - 30.00. It was further ordered that the foregoing salaries be paid from local funds. The principal was authorized to make a trip to Portland at the state's expense to interview applicants for the position of school nurse. The appended bills were audited and payment approved: Union P. B. and S. Co. - $22.75. Morse Hardware Co. - 26.41. A. H. Montgomery - 31.75. Pacific Printers Supply Co. - 15.05. Munro and Haskell - 20.43. Ada Hogle - 42.05. Eilers Music House - 68.00.

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."

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.

Present: Chairman J. J. Edens, Trustees J. J. Donovan and Emerson Hammer, Principal Mathes and the Registrar. The minutes of the meeting of February 13th were read and approved. The Registrar reported that he had conferred with the Water Board of the City of Bellingham on a proposal to change from the existing form of payment of a flat rate of $35.00 per month to a payment based on meter reading. The records showing that the consumption of water by the Normal School at meter rates was less for the year 1911 than the payment of $35.00 per month for twelve months, it was agreed that the Normal School should receive credit for overpayment from March 1st, 1911, at which time the agreement to pay $35.00 per month flat rate expired, and that the school should pay meter rates from March 1st, 1912. Further it was intimated that a reduction in meter rates was under consideration. It was stated by the board that under meter rates, the use of water for sprinkling in summer would not be confined to sprinkling hours. The action of the Registrar was ratified by the Board of Trustees. The following data is self-explanatory: FIVE YEAR STATEMENT OF WATER CONSUMED AT STATE NORMAL SCHOOL January - (1907) 58.65, (1908) 67.68, (1909) 30.15, (1910) 32.40, (1911) 35.35.

March 18, 1912. To the Honorable, The Board of Trustees. Gentlemen:- Sept. 18, 1909, or shortly after the institution of the Registrar's office, the Chairman of the board turned over to the custody of the Registrar seven notes given to the Students Loan Fund. All of these notes, save one, were paid with admirable promptness in the main. The exception was a note given by Lydia Rainey, with C. W. Hodge, superintendent of schools of Snohomish, as surety. The note was dated May 16, 1908. So far as known Miss Rainey never made any effort to meet the note or any part of it. Your Registrar appealed to the surety and Feb. 15, last received a check for $61.25 in full of principal and interest to date. Since Sept. 1909 31 students have availed themselves of this fund, borrowing in the aggregate $1115 or an average of about $36.00 each. Of these notes 24 have been paid, leaving 7, none of which matures earlier than September next. Since the establishment of this fund in April, 1905, the aggregate of deposits to its credit has been $2471.27. The balance in the fund this day is $549.80, the difference or $1921.47 being a measure of the good accomplished. The limit in the amount of loan is $50.00. While some students might have liked to have borrowed more than the limit, only two in over two and one-half years have said that that amount was too small to be of much use. One of these instances was at the close of last semester, when a young lady informed the Registrar that she would have to leave because her money had given out. She is thirty years of age and has bought and is paying for Seattle property. She had had three years of university work, had attended a French school and a boarding school and did not seem to be suffering for lack of an education. Respectfully submitted, Registrar. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for March 1912 Volume 04 - Page 080 1912-03-18 In the discussion following the presentation of the foregoing matter, a further communication was read by the principal from J. L. Dumas of Walla Walla. (Other communications from him being found an pages 32 and 54 or these minutes). The letter follows: Feb., 17, 1912 Dr. E. T. Mathes, Bellingham, Wash. Dear Sir,- The students' loan fund is now ready and will be subject to your check upon filling in the enclosed blank, with your name as principal and five responsible citizens of your community as sureties. All I shall require is a brief statement in regard to each of the sureties so that I may know that they are alright. I should be glad to receive suggestions for supplementary instructions to be sent to all schools using this fund such instructions and directions to be in harmony with the enclosed bond. The cashier of the Broughton National Bank will honor your checks as needed for loans as indicated in the bond as soon as it is returned to the bank properly filled out. Very truly yours, J. L. Dumas. At the close of the discussion, it was ordered that the principal be requested to write Mr. Dumas thanking him for his offer but to decline it for the time in view of the statements made in the communication of the Registrar that the local Students Loan fund has $549.80 in it and further that the fund at present seems to be adequate to meet all demands made upon it. It was ordered that the chairman be delegated to represent this Board of Trustees at the meeting of the Boards of Trustees of the various normals schools of the state to be held in Cheney in the early part of April and that his expenses be borne by the school. It was ordered that Miss Gray, dean of women, be delegated to attend a meeting of the deans of the schools of the state to be held in Spokane during the spring vacation and that this school pay her travelling expenses, consisting of ticket, sleeper and meals en route.

Present: Chairman J. J. Edens, Trustees J. J. Donovan and Emerson Hammer, Principal Mathes and the Registrar. The minutes of the meeting of Jan. 22nd were read and approved. The chairman announced that it had been the custom of the Board throughout its history to reorganize upon the seating of a new member of the Board, or the re-commission of a former member and this being the first meeting with a full attendance of the members since the re-commission of Trustee Donovan, he called for nominations for chairman. Trustee Donovan promptly named Mr. Edens for chairman, Trustee Hammer seconded, and with a few words of recognition of the long and faithful service of Mr. Edens as chairman, he was declared his own successor. The Registrar then read the appended call: PROPOSALS FOR FURNISHING SLABS Sealed proposals for furnishing 500 cords of fir slabs for fuel will be received by the Board of Trustees of the Bellingham State Normal School until 2 o'clock P. M., Feb. 13th, 1912. Slabs to be first-class, free from punky or dead wood, not to exceed four feet in length and bidders are to state whether fresh or salt water slabs will be furnished. Slabs are to be delivered and piled for measurement at an indicated place on the school grounds. Successful bidder may begin delivering upon the awarding of the contract, but must complete delivery by July 1st, 1912. Bills for slabs delivered each month to be rendered the 1st of the month succeeding, audited by the Board of Trustees at its regular monthly meeting and passed to the State Auditor for payment. The right is reserved by the Board to reject any or all bids. By order of the Board of Trustees, J. Wayland Clark, Registrar. In response to the call the following bids were submitted: Scott and Co.--salt water slabs--price per cord - $2.40. Trunkey and Sons--fresh water slabs " - $2.58. A long discussion followed as to the relative value of salt and fresh water slabs for fuel and the engineer of the plant was called before the Board. He state that the Board had purchased last summer 500 cords of fresh water slabs and 100 cords of salt water slabs and that the latter were not fit to burn at this date. He regarded 500 cords of fresh water slabs as being worth far more than 600 cords of salt water slabs for fuel. Upon his statement, Trustee Donovan not voting, it was ordered that a contract be entered into with Trunkey and Sons for 500 cords of fresh water slabs of the same quality as those furnished last summer at $2.58 per cord. The appended regulation was then adopted: "No student or graduate of the Bellingham State Normal School shall be granted a diploma or certificate, or receive credit slips of any character while indebted on open account to the school. The Registrar is hereby instructed to notify the faculty of the names of delinquents in order that their action may be governed by this regulation." The principal was authorized to investigate the matter of leasing from two to five acres of land near the campus, with the privilege of purchase, and to secure the data on the cost of equipping the land with a few cows, a number of chickens, providing a house adjacent and establishing a school garden for the dual purpose of furnishing an adjunct to the course of instruction in agriculture and supplying vegetables, eggs and milk for the dormitory, report to be presented at the next meeting of the Board. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for February 1912 Volume 04 - Page 077 1912-02-13 The principal having been invited to represent the normal school of this state at the meeting of the Normal School section of the National Education association in St. Louis on the 27th, 28th and 29th of February, it was ordered that this school purchase a round-trip ticket at a cost of $101.00, he paying his other expenses. The bill of E. A. Bond for fifty cents, travelling expense to Ferndale, as chaperone for the basket ball team was ordered paid from local funds. The subject of establishing a branch summer school at Vancouver, Wash., was discussed but no action taken. This school having for many months paid a flat water rate of $35.00 per month and its consumption of water by meter rate for eleven months having amounted in the aggregate to $42.00 less than the aggregate of the flat rate per month multiplied by eleven, the adjustment of this matter and the decision as to whether we would continue on a flat rate or pay meter rate in future was left with the Registrar with power to act. The appended bills were approved for payment: MAINTENANCE FUND J. N. Selby and Co. - $19.75. Munro and Haskell - 324.27. Lowman and Hanford Co. - 69.76. Northwest Journal of Education - 30.00.

There was 390.86 turned over to him as a cash balance from the previous year. The case receipts from operation 1909-1910 were $11137.05. The cash balance Sept. 1, 1910 was $1343.04. The cash receipts from operation 1910-1911 - 11232.22. The difference in receipts between the years 1909-1910 and 1910-1911 WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1911 Volume 04 - Page 065 1911-10-24 was therefore less than $100.00. There was expended on Edens Hall from all sources in 1909-1910 the sum of 11,527.91. In the year 1910-1911 there was expended $11576.66--a difference between the two years of less than $50.00. Inasmuch as it is a physical fact that the dormitory is filled to its capacity all the time, it is clear that the matron is making it earn up to its capacity. The Board of Trustees is required by law to charge such rates as will make the dormitory self-sustaining. The data presented herewith demonstrates that the Board is doing its duty. There are in the neighborhood of 45 or 46 girls rooming in the dormitory. The highest rate paid is $17.50 for four weeks, made up as follows: Single room $6.00; board $11.00; use of laundry .50. The lowest is $14.50, made up as follows: Room $3.00; board $11.00; use of laundry.50: Girls serving as waitresses are not charged for board; get their rooms for as low as $2.00 for four weeks and are not charged for the use of laundry. Between 90 and 110 persons have table board; Board by the week is $2.75; meal tickets are sold in two forms: One good for six meals at $1.00; one good for 21 meals at $3.50. A bill of fare follows: Breakfast. Coffee, cocoa or milk, fresh fruit, hot mush or flakes, toast, gems or hot cakes, cookies or doughnuts. Lunch Tea or milk, pickles or salad, Grahm and white bread and sometimes hot biscuit, soup and warmed over potatoes or warmed over meat and baked potatoes, cake and canned fruit. Dinner Roast meat and gravy (Friday--fish), potatoes, vegetables, pickles or celery, white and brown bread, pie or pudding, coffee, tea or milk. Certificate and Diploma fees. Each student applying for a diploma or certificate must pay a fee of $1.00 which must be remitted to the superintendent of schools of the county from which that student registered. The cost to this school of a diploma with the labor in the registrar's office exceeds 50 cents. The law might be changed to very great advantage either by permitting this school to retain the fee or by requiring the student to pay the fee in the county where that student teaches. Domestic Science Department. The head of this department has worked indefatigably to make the department pay the expense of maintenance. The result is shown in the figures: Receipts 699.81; expenses $592.85. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1911 Volume 04 - Page 066 1911-10-24 Library fees. Library fees of 1910-11 were $3840.40; of the year 1909-1910 they were $3039.75. This increase is gratifying especially in view of the fact that the fee, which was $10.00 irrespective of the time for which the student entered, was reduced the past year to $6.00 for students who entered for a semester only or for summer school. Manual Training Department. This department also shows larger receipts than expenditures. Miscellaneous and Petty accounts. In these accounts are grouped laboratory fees, piano rentals, special examination fees and the host of small receipts. Except where especially indicated, receipts include balances from the previous year. ENROLLMENT. The enrollment for the year 1909-1910 was 597. The enrollment for the year 1910-1911 was 617. The enrollment for the school year 1910-1911 was 447. The enrollment for summer school only was 170. 617. Number of Washington counties represented in summer school 1911 was 28. Number of students from outside the State of Washington - 29. Oct. 6, 1911 the enrollment in the Normal is 342. " " High school - 54. " " Training " - 178. Total - 574. Two years ago the 54 in High school would have been registered in the Normal, but owing to more rigid entrance requirements they were obliged to enter the High school. As a matter of fact one year ago, the Normal registration was 358; today it is 342 with about 25 more in High school than there were a year ago. In conclusion I beg to tender to this Board and to the Principal a heartfelt appreciation of the signal consideration and courtesy extended me at all times. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) J. Wayland Clark, Registrar. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1911 Volume 04 - Page 067 1911-10-24 STATE OF WASHINGTON: COUNTY OF WHATCOM: SS: I, J. Wayland Clark, being first duly sworn, depose and say: that I am the Registrar of the Bellingham State Normal School and that the figures and data submitted herewith, forming the second annual report, are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. J. Wayland Clark. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 7th day of October, 1911. It was ordered "that we compliment Mr. Clark on the comprehensiveness of the report and direct this action to be spread on the minutes of this meeting." It was ordered that the purchase of a suitable adding machine for use in the Registrar's office he left discretionary with the Registrar and Principal. The principal notified the Board that he had granted Miss Wilson a vacation of six weeks; that Miss Wilson had selected Nellie E. Brooks as assistant librarian, term of office to expire the 1st of Next July; that he had granted Miss Dawson a vacation of three days before the regular Christmas vacation and that he proposed to take a week or two vacation himself. It was ordered that any member of the faculty may secure the privilege of taking work in the institution upon making proper arrangements with the principal. Prof. Moodie, through the Registrar, presented the appended communication which was ordered received and the contents referred to the principal. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1911 Volume 04 - Page 068 1911-10-24 Bellingham Washington, 1212 High St. W. L. Moodie. Oct. 6, 1911. Board of Trustees, Bellingham State Normal School, Bellingham Washington. Dear Sirs: As a result of the action of The State Board of Higher Education, which action went into effect this September; it is quite evident that we no longer need two men in the department of Biology. In talking the matter over with Dr. Mathes he informed me that it would be acceptable if I should take all the work of the department. I wish to state that I am willing to take the extra responsibility of the whole department or Biology; but desire that it be regular and through the action of the Board. At the same time I beg your further consideration. First that the Board give me as remuneration for increased responsibility and hours of added labor a just increase in salary. Second that the Board set apart a sum of money to be used to pay student assistants. Considering the amount approperated for this department by our last legislature, I feel I am asking only what is due me for this and past services to our institution. If the board so desires I should be pleased to meet with you and discuss this matter in detail. Thanking you for this and past favors. I am yours truly. W. L. Moodie. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for October 1911 Volume 04 - Page 069 1911-10-24 Miss Wilson, the librarian, through the Registrar, presented a list, revised to July 22nd, 1911, of library books, text books and periodicals charged to the accounts of those members of the faculty who had resigned.

April 30, 1909, the State Auditor advanced us $1,000 for necessary cash expenditures. This amount was carried in Revolving fund account until the close of the biennium when we returned the State Auditor $1,000 in small sub-voucher receipts and asked to have them set off against the advance of two years before. We received therefore no warrant and the foregoing total should be reduced by $1,000, Revolving fund account receiving a corresponding credit. 1000.00. $53513.77. ##

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1911 Volume 04 - Page 041 1911-06-07 The Students association presented the appended petition, which having been indorsed by the Faculty, was approved by the Board and it was ordered that all students be required to pay a fee of 50 cents a semester for membership in the association. TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE BELLINGHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL:- The following request was presented to the faculty of the Normal School, and was endorsed in full by them at their meetings held on April 17, 1911, and May 29, 1911. We, as a committee appointed by the Board of Control of the Students' Association, therefore desire to submit it to you for consideration. The request is as follows: We desire that membership in the Students' Association be made compulsory by the Board of Trustees to all students enrolled in the Normal School proper and in the High School Department, to take effect at the beginning of the following school year. We wish to present the following reasons for the desired change:- This Association, which was started as an experiment, has proved to be a success and of benefit to the school, and deserves this formal recognition by the authorities of the school. 2. Since the Association has control of the Messenger, the bookstore, athletics, and many of the social activities, it benefits every student in the school; and since every student is directly benefited by the Association, each one should contribute to its support. 3. With every student in school a member, the Association will be enabled to promote unity, harmony, and wholesome school spirit to a much greater degree than is possible under present conditions. 4. The two price system now in use in the school would be discarded and the lowest price only quoted to everyone. 5. It would no longer be necessary for one or two students to spend hours upon hours of valuable time trying to secure members for the Association, as has been the case this year. 6. Membership in the students' association is compulsory in many of the prominent schools of the country, among them the University of Washington. 7. It is desired that the members of the High School Department be included in this regulation, because they are deriving benefits from the Association in almost as many ways as the students of the Normal proper. Respectfully submitted, Committee. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1911 Volume 04 - Page 042 1911-06-07 Misses Catherine Montgomery, Ida Agnes Pakerm, Lulu P. Dawson, and Ada Hogle and W. H. Patchin appeared before the Board seeking increases in salary. W. L. Moodie presented the appended petition: Bellingham Washington, 1212 High Street. June 3, 1911. Board of Trustees, Bellingham State Normal School. Bellingham Washington. Dear Sirs: In view of the fact of Mr. Romine's recent removal from the Department of Biology; both he and Dr. Mathes assured me that such action of the Board leaves me as the senior member of the Department that I should receive first consideration in your selection of some one for the Head of the Department of Biology. I therefore make formal application for the above mentioned position. Providing the Board does not deem it wise to give me that recognition, I ask that Botany be made an independent Department. Dr. Mathes promised me definitely two years ago, if I would remain with you that this spring I should have Botany as an Independent Department. But as no such division of the Departmental work is usually made in most Normal Schools, Dr. Mathes rather retracted his promise of two years ago. Yet he assures me I shall receive first consideration. Hoping you will give the matter due consideration, for the forwarding of harmony and a condition of greater growth in this line of work in our school. Yours truly, W. L. Moodie. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1911 Volume 04 - Page 043 1911-06-07 The following letter and petition were received and ordered filed: State Normal School Bellingham, Wash. June 6, 1911. Board of Trustees of Bellingham State Normal School, City, Gentlemen: I herein inclose a copy of a petition respecting the dismissal of Prof. A. P. Romine from the faculty of this institution. You will observe that there are one hundred (197) ninety-seven upon the petition, all of whom are students of this school at the present time. This number is more than one half the total number of students now in the institution. I desire to further state that I had more names than these, but some of the students fearing that their action would affect their credits WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1911 Volume 04 - Page 044 1911-06-07 or deprive them of recommendations for positions, withdrew their names. Fully fifty (50) others whom I approached, frankly admitted that although they were heartily in sympathy with the sentiment of the petition, they feared their signing would work to their disadvantage when their final grades were made out, and hence refused to append their signatures. The student body recognize that Prof. Romine is one of the very strongest members of the faculty, that he has placed the science department of this institution in the first rank, and an instructor whom this school can not dispense with. That the student body do not approve of the dismissal of Prof. Romine, I trust has been made clear. I therefore request that you rescind your dismissal resolution and reinstate Prof. Romine on the faculty. Very truly yours, WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1911 Volume 04 - Page 045 1911-06-01 Board of Trustees, State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash., Gentlemen:- We, the undersigned, feel that Prof. Romine is one of the strongest instructors on the faculty and that the Board of Trustees is making a serious mistake in requesting the resignation of so capable and efficient an instructor. We hereby wish to declare our respect and administration for Prof. Romine: J. G. Davis, J. C. Hawkins, Alta Reichert, Lillian Carleton, Sydney E. Johnson, Eva E. Jurgenson, Florence F.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for May 1911 Volume 04 - Page 032 1911-05-15 Principal Mathes presented the Board a verbal resume of the appended: Walla Walla, Washington. May 5, 1911. TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, Bellingham, Washington. Dear Sir:- The undersigned, J. L. Dumas and Fannie S. Dumas, expect to make a number of loans aggregating $20,000.00 to the student aid fund of public normal schools, in the near future. The loans are to be known as the Sheldon Students' Aid Fund and are to be made for periods of not less than ten years, without interest, in sums of $1000.00 each to twenty selected normal schools. In order that you may better understand the conditions under which the loans are made it will be necessary to explain another loan fund upon which the time element of the Sheldon Fund must, in a measure, depend. The Opportunity Educational Fund is established for the purpose of encouraging the nephews and nieces of J. L. Dumas and Fannie S. Dumas and their descendants to acquire a more complete education than they might otherwise be able to secure. $100.00 is to be advanced to a student upon completing each year of the college course; making in all $1000.00 that may be drawn by each individual. Upon leaving school, whether graduating or not, $100.00 must be repaid to the fund each year. No loan bears interest and all are properly guaranteed. In this way it becomes a revolving fund and is expected to continue indefinitely. The children eligible to the Opportunity Fund at present are thirty in number and range from a senior in the university to babies. Five are expected to be in college and seven in high school next year. An adequate amount is provided to meet the demands of the thirty children named for the next ten years. To meet the demand of the natural increase that may be expected, it will be provided that 10% of the Sheldon Fund may be required of the normal schools and placed in the Opportunity Fund any or every year after 1921. It may be fifty or sixty years before the Opportunity Fund will absorb all the Sheldon Fund. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for May 1911 Volume 04 - Page 033 1911-05-15 This letter is sent to forty normal schools only twenty of which will be selected provided that they meet the requirements. In order that we may have the proper facts before us, will you kindly answer the following: Have you a student aid fund? How much does it contain and how was it secured? Tell briefly how the fund is managed. Could you use more money to an advantage? How many students in this year's graduating class? Will your trustees guarantee the repayment of the $1000.00 as specified in this letter? If not, what other way can you suggest that a business man would be likely to accept? Any suggestion that you may make as to the proper use of this fund will be duly appreciated. We are not wealthy in the ordinary acceptance of the term so every dollar we put in these funds must produce results. We are not ready to make this public until the plans are perfected and the schools selected. Very truly yours, J. L. Dumas. Fannie S. Dumas. The Board favored the acceptance of $1,000.00 of the offer, but suggested that it would be wise to charge a small rate of interest, The crudity, unsightliness and disrespectful appearance of a petition presented through Dr. Mathes to the Board warranted the latter in declining to receive it and it was returned to the young men who framed it with a request that it be presented in better shape.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for May 1911 Volume 04 - Page 035 1911-05-27 Minutes of a called meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Bellingham State Normal School held in their room at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Present: Chairman J. J. Edens, Trustees J. J. Donovan and Emerson Hammer and the Registrar. The purpose of the meeting was to review the action taken at the meeting of May 15th asking for the resignation of A. P. Romine of the faculty to take effect Sept. 1st, 1911. Mr. Romine was summoned before the Board and for about an hour the discussion related to his connection with the Normal School. The Registrar then called in Dr. Mathes who had not been present at any time during the session. After his statements had been heard and after further consideration, the Board unanimously reached the conclusion that there existed no reason why it should rescind its action of May 15th regarding the asking for the resignation of Prof. Romine and directed the Registrar to notify him to that effect. On motion of Trustee Donovan, seconded by Trustee Hammer, it was ordered that the matter of the selection of two extra teachers be left to Dr. Mathes, provided he does not exceed the money appropriated for that purpose. It was ordered that the Physical Examination fee for the boys be charged. There being no further business, the Board adjourned. Minutes approved.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for January 1911 Volume 04 - Page 018 1911-01-14 (Following is the report referred to in the first paragraph on page 17) To the Faculty,- We, the undersigned, a committee appointed by the Principal to consider the subject of Summer School service and salaries, beg leave to submit the following recommendations:- 1.- That the summer school should consist of nine weeks in order that a full quarter's work may be offered, and that, therefore, the school year should consist of five terms as follows:- a.- First term, ten weeks including opening week; b.- Second term of nine weeks; c.- Third term of nine weeks; d.- Fourth term, ten weeks including Commencement week; e.- Fifth term, nine weeks, the summer term. The first and second terms shall constitute the "first semester," the third and fourth terms shall constitute the "second semester." 2.- That, beginning with, September 1, 1911, teachers' contracts should include the following items:- a.- A uniform monthly payment for the time actually served; b.- Each teacher shall be employed four terms in each school year, except as may be mutually agreed between the Board and teacher, and that service for any four of the five terms shall constitute a year's work; and that, if he so desires, each teacher may teach a fifth term once in two years. c.- That service for four terms shall count as ten months and for five terms as twelve months. 3.- That if the summer term of 1911 should exceed six weeks, teachers employed therein shall receive pay for this excess at the usual monthly rates. 4.- That in case of a readjustment of salaries is made at the expiration of this year's contracts, care be taken to prevent nominal increase from turning into actual decrease as was true in 1909. 5.- That if these recommendations, in whole or in part, meet the approval of the Faculty, a committee be authorized to arrange through Dr. Mathes for an audience with the Board of Trustees and a presentation of the views of the Faculty on the questions under consideration be made. Respectfully submitted, Chairman. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for January 1911 Volume 04 - Page 019 1911-01-14 Principal Mathes presented the appended proposition which was discussed at length: AN ACT CREATING A STATE NORMAL SCHOOL FUND, AND MAKING PROVISION FOR AN ANNUAL TAX LEVY TO PRODUCE REVENUE FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND MAKING OF IMPROVEMENTS IN THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS OF WASHINGTON, AND FOR THE DIVISION OF SAID REVENUE AMONG THE THREE NORMAL SCHOOLS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Washington: Section I.- There is hereby created a fund to be known as the State Normal School Fund. Section II.- For the purpose of raising revenue for the maintenance of the state normal schools of Washington, and for making improvements in said institutions, the properly authorized officers of the state shall levy and collect, for the fiscal year commencing April 1st, 1911, a tax of one-fourth of one mill upon all property subject to taxation in the State of Washington, and levy a like tax for the same purpose annually thereafter for a term of nine years. Section III.- All funds provided by such levy shall be placed in the State Normal School Fund and disbursed by the proper state officers as hereinafter provided. SectionIIII.- Upon receipt of any and all revenues collected for the State Normal School Fund, the State Treasurer shall place 9/25 of said revenue to the credit of the State Normal School at Cheney, 9/25 of said revenues to the credit of the State Normal School at Bellingham, and 7/25 of said revenues to the credit of the State Normal School at Ellensburg, provided that this basis of division may be changed after five years by a commission consisting of the Governor, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the Principals of the State Normal Schools, if in the judgment of such commission any change is desirable or necessary. Section V.- All revenues derived from the public lands granted to the state normal school and available for maintenance shall hereafter be deposited by the proper authorities in the State Normal School Fund and divided among the state normal schools as heretofore provided. Section VI.- No money shall be paid to any state normal school from this fund until April 1st, 1912, and it shall be the duty of the State Auditor to certify to each state normal school on that date and annually thereafter, the approximate amount of funds available for the current year, and further, it shall be the duty of the Board of Trustees of each state normal school to keep the cost of maintenance of the institution under their charge for any year within the estimated revenues for that year. At this juncture the board took a recess to partake of a dinner prepared in the Domestic Science department, under direction of Miss Lawrence. Upon reconvening, on motion of Trustee Donovan, the Registrar was instructed to convey to Miss Lawrence and her assistants the thanks and appreciation of the board of their very pleasant and successful Dollar dinner. There being no further business, the board adjourned. Minutes approved. ##

Present: Chairman J. J. Edens, Trustees J. J. Donovan and F. F. Handschy, Principal Mathes and the Registrar. The minutes of the meetings of Sept. 28th, Oct. 18th, Nov. 14th, Nov. 22nd and Nov. 23rd, 1910, were read and on motion of Mr. Donovan, approved. On motion of Trustee Donovan it was ordered that "write-ups" of this school be inserted in the Christmas editions of the Reveille and Herald at a cost of $20.00 for each insertion. Trustee Donovan moved and Trustee Handschy seconded that the biennial report of this school to the Governor and Legislature be printed and placed on the desk of every legislator. The Registrar presented the appended statement and draft of a proposed law seeking the reappropriation of funds deposited with the State Treasurer and on motion of Trustee Handschy they were approved: Bellingham, Wash., Dec. 1, 1910. To the Governor and Members of the Legislature, State of Washington. Gentlemen:- The Legislature of 1907, by Chapter 96, Session Laws of the year, made it mandatory upon this school, in common with other state institutions, to daily deposit its local receipts with the state treasurer. The Legislature of 1909, impressed by the inutility of that law, promptly and specifically repealed that portion of it relating to the educational institutions of the state by Chapter 133, Laws 1909, and further, by Chapter 169, returned to this school the sum of $7,133.40, being the amount this institution had deposited with the state treasurer up to the time of the passage of the appropriation act just named. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for December 1910 Volume 04 - Page 013 1910-12-14 In the opinion of the Board of Trustees of the Bellingham State Normal School, the law requiring this school to deposit its receipts with the state treasurer was operative until the date the repealing act became effective, i.e., ninety days after its approval by the Governor, or June 10th, 1909. The Board, therefore, directed that the practice of depositing receipts be continued until that date. Under such direction, as the books of the state treasurer will show, there was deposited with him the sum of $1,362.61, all of which was remitted between the date the state treasurer certified to the legislature that this school had deposited with him the sum of $7,133.40, which the state legislature returned to this school, and the final remittance. Rigid compliance with exact terms of law has therefore deprived this institution of $1,362.61 which the Board of Trustees, in making its estimate of financial needs, prior to the passage of the law in Chapter 96, Session Laws 1907, had confidently and legally figured as an income. The Board therefore begs to submit a draft of a law appropriating to this school the sum of $1,362.61, and asks your cordial and hearty support towards its enactment, simply calling attention to these facts: 1. The conditions precedent to the appropriation of $7,133.40 two years ago parallel those attendant upon the appropriation of $1,362.61 asked for now. 2. A matter of right and justice of two years ago is equally a matter of right and justice today. All of which is respectfully submitted by order of the Board of Trustees. Registrar.

Dear Sir:- The estimated receipts of the Bellingham State Normal School for the next two years are appended: RECEIPTS FROM LOCAL SOURCES Certificate and diploma fees - (one year) $225, (two years) $450.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for November 1910 Volume 04 - Page 011 1910-11-22 DISBURSEMENTS OF LOCAL FUNDS Certificate and diploma fees -- Law requires them to be remitted to School superintendents of counties from which students register or in which they intend to teach. Edens Hall--The experience of several years has shown that Edens Hall on the average is self-sustaining. If at the close of a school year there stands a balance to its credit, the funds are expended in repairs. At present the dormitory has about 46 roomers and between ninety and one hundred boarders. The rate advertised for board is $2.75 per week and with the present high cost of food, it is only by the most careful management that receipts and expenditures are equalized. Library fee--One-half of the $5800 will be returned to students, it being held by the school as an insurance fund for the safe return of books to the library. The other half is by law expended on maintenance of the library. Physical examination fee--This is a fee new this year and is intended to cover the expense of maintaining the office of school nurse, who is not only a teacher of hygiene and physiology, but also has for prime consideration the health of the students. Any sick student is first examined by the school nurse and if that student shows signs of any infectious disease, the student cannot return to school until he or she presents a physician's certificate indicating that danger of infection is past. This officer also attends minor hurts, bruises and sprains. Accumulated funds will be expended for the maintenance of the department. All other fees are expended by the Board of Trustees on the departments from which they emanate. All of which is respectfully submitted. By order of the Board of Trustees. There being no further business the Board adjourned. Minutes approved. ##
