C. W. Crawford, Associate in Animal Husbandry, leave of absence of sixty days (from August I to September 30, 1934) without pay in order that he may be of service to the Federal Emergency Relief Administration in connection with livestock problems arising out of the drouth. Irene Chott, Dispensary Clerk in the College of Medicine, three months' leave from September I without pay for the purpose of study. A. P. Kratz, Research Professor of Mechanical Engineering, three weeks' leave in addition to his regular month's vacation with pay, or from September 1 to 21, 1934. He has not had a full vacation for several years and is greatly in need of rest.

On motion of Mr. Barrett, the action of the President in granting these leaves was confirmed.

PRACTICE TEACHING IN CHAMPAIGN AND URBANA HIGH SCHOOLS (6) As part of the preparation of students in the College of Education for the profession of teaching they are required to do practice teaching in high-school classes. As much of this practice teaching is done in the University High School, under the supervision of the regular faculty of the high school, as is possible. The University does not have facilities nor enough high-school students to provide practice teaching for all of the students in the College of Education, and consequently it has been necessary for some of the students to do their practice teaching in the high schools in Champaign and Urbana, through a cooperative arrangement between the College of Education and those schools. The city high-school teachers supervise the practice teaching work of University students without compensation from the University. It is desirable and equitable that these city teachers be given some compensation. It is not practicable, financially, to pay them stipends but the situation can be met by giving these high-school teachers appointments on the University staff without salary, but which will, however, give the appointees the same University privileges as are enjoyed by other members of the University staff. The appointments will be for one semester and will be given only to those high-school teachers who supervise the practice teaching work of University students. These appointments will be similar in character to the appointments of the Clinical Faculty of the College of Medicine. I recommend approval of this arrangement and request authority to make such appointments to the University staff as are recommended by the Dean of the College of Education.

On motion of Mr. Barr, this authority was granted.

REVISION OF SMITH-LEVER AND ADDITIONAL FEDERAL COOPERATIVE F U N D BUDGETS (7) On recommendation of the Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Agricultural Extension Service, I recommend approval of the following revision of the 1934-1935 Smith-Lever budget and the Additional Federal Cooperative Fund budget as adopted May 22, 1934 (Minutes, page 535). T h e changes involve no increases but only a redistribution of the total funds in each case among the various classes of expenditures. No State or general University funds are involved. T h e revisions are necessary in order to work out satisfactory plans for administering and financing the educational programs of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration of the United States Department of Agriculture through the University's Agricultural Extension Service.
