F E E IN HOME E C O N O M I C S 5 6 (16) T h e Department of H o m e Economics has been authorized to add laboratory instruction to the course " H o m e Economics 56, T h e Child and His Development." This will be an experimental project, providing for training in a nursery school for up to 15 children which the Department of H o m e Economics hopes to carry on from year to year until the University establishes a Nursery School. T h e Department proposes a tuition fee of $12.50 per child and a laboratory fee of $2.00 for students registering in this course, to cover such expenses as laundry, fruit juice and crackers, repair and upkeep of playground equipment, and wages—an estimated total of $300 for the second semester of 1941-1042. I recommend the authorization of these fees and the addition of $300 to the budget of the Department of H o m e Economics for the additional operating expenses of offering this laboratory instruction.

F U N D S FOR REHABILITATION O F R E S E A R C H AND EDUCATIONAL H O S P I T A L S (17) Pursuant to the action of the Board of Trustees on December 30 the President of the Board and the President of the University conferred with the Governor, requesting him to include in any proclamation he may issue calling another session of the General Assembly the following items: 1. Legislation amending the acts making appropriations to the University of Illinois for the current biennium to authorize the expenditure of unused or unexpended balances in capital or permanent improvement items for general operating expenses. 2. Additional appropriation of not less than $100,000 for operating expenses for the biennium of 1041-1043. 3. An additional appropriation of $216,000 for alterations and rehabilitation of the Research and Educational Hospitals. T h e Governor stated that he would give this request careful consideration in the event he calls another special session. At the request of the President of the Board, the Director of the Physical Plant Department has submitted the following statement outlining the reasons why the additional sum of $216,000 is needed to complete the rehabilitation of the Research and Educational Hospitals, and giving an analysis of the estimated cost of this remodeling. This analysis shows the allocations of funds from the original appropriation of $254,000 (made by the General Assembly last spring for the biennium of 1941-1943 for this remodeling), and the proposed allocation of the additional $216,000. T h e appropriation of $254,000 has been completely allocated, and expenditures to date are approximately $10,000.
