1903 J PSOOBEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, 297 School of Housekeeping and in Simmons College, having heen instructor in the latter for the past three years. So far as training is concerned she has probably had better opportunities than any woman now in the work. Mrs. Ellen H. Richards told me she thought she had done some excellent teaching with very unpromising material. Miss Usher is about forty years of age, and has a pleasing personality I feel that we shall be doing much for the department if we can secure a woman with so much to be said in her favor for $1,000. I know of no one else who can be secured who has anything like her training and experience. Our acquaintance dates from '98, and personally I like Miss Usher very much. "That the salary of Miss Grace Johnson Maxwell be increased from $55 to $60 a month. "That changes in titles take effect at once, but that changes in salaries and new appointments date from September 1, excepting the appointment of Messrs. Love, Ystgard and Readhimer, which should date from July 1; that all salaries be paid' in twelve installments, except in the cases of Mr. Crane, Mrs. Sober and Miss Usher." The recommendation was adopted. Appropriations. I recommend that the financial etimates and appropriations of the Dean of t h e College of Agriculture and Director of the Station be approved except that the appropriations be made semi-annually rather than annually. 'e— U. S. fund Interest endowment fund Teachers and institutes State, College Drainage, fencing, and repairs $12,500 16,000 6,000 50,000 5,000 $ 89,500 Station— U.

I respectfully rquest the appropriation of these funds for the coming year in accordance with the following schedule of estimates for the various departments and general needs of the College and Station: Estimates by Departments.
