326 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [May 16, ment terminates July 1, 1919. I approve this recommendation and ask for the appointment of Miss Condit for the month of July next at the same monthly salary she is now receiving ($120). On motion of Mrs. Evans, this appointment was made, by the following vote: Ayes, Mr. Abbott, Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Busey, Mr. Carr, Mrs. Evans, Mr. Hoit, Mr. Trimble; noes, none; absent, Mr. Blair, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Lowden, Mr. Ward. CLASSES IN T E A C H E R - T R A I N I N G IN H O M E E C O N O M I C S (8) A statement that an arrangement had been made by President James with Dean W. W. Charters of the College of Education to establish a short course for State supervisors and instructors of teacher-training classes in home economics in connection with the coming Summer Session. Dean Charters now informs me that he can put the project through at an expense of not more than $750, because he has been able to secure the services of the regional director of the Vocational Education Board for three weeks without expense. Under these circumstances I have authorized his going ahead with his plan and recommend approval thereof. I have requested the Comptroller to charge the expense to the Incidental Fund. On motion of Mr. Abbott, this action was appoved and the sum of $750 was appropriated from the Incidental Fund, by the following vote: Ayes, Mr. Abbott, Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Busey, Mr. Carr, Mrs. Evans, Mr. Hoit, Mr. Trimble; noes, none; absent, Mr. Blair, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Lowden, Mr. Ward. SYMPHONY CONCERT COURSE (9) A statement that at a meeting of the Executive Committee on March 15 (page 276), authority was given the President to reestablish the Symphony Concert course for the next academic year. This authority was to make provision for eight concerts by four orchestras. Director J. L. Erb has pointed out that this plan would- be impossible under the maximum allowance of five thousand dollars, because four orchestras cannot now be engaged to give that number of concerts at amounts which will come within that total. Mr. Erb recommends that authority be given to arrange for six orchestra concerts by three orchestras and one or two concerts by a string quartet or a similar organization. This arrangement, the Comptroller informs me, can now be carried out. I recommend that the authority given the President to reestablish this course be so modified as to enable him to make the best arrangement he can for the same appropriation. On motion of Mr. Trimble, this recommendation was adopted. FINAL. SETTLEMENT FOR S. A. T . C. (10) A letter from the Comptroller reporting the final settlement with the Federal Government for the S.
