man French called the Board of Normal
School Trustees to order this morning,
the Gordian knot had been severed, and
there was a look of relief upon the face of
each member.
1t was announced the vexatious question
of what to do with the designations had
been acted upon in the following manner:
The designations of Miss Elizabeth Bucking
ham and Miss Lora Scudamore had been ac-
cepted. Mrs. Elizabeth P. Wilson and Miss
Mary P. Adams were each granted years
absence. Vice-PriDcipal George Kleeber-
ger was also granted years leave of alb
sence. Principal Childs and the remain
der of the faculty, with the exception of
Miss Anna c. Gildea. were reelected at the
same salaries they have been receiving.
The board then adjourned to witness the
normal graduation exercises.
When at O'Clock the board reconvened
all the members were suffering from lack
of sleep on account of the all-night ses
sion and were anxious to get through with
the work.
The first. action taken was the election
OF teacher of mathematics to take the
place made vacant by the resignation of
Miss Scudamore. WE. Rollane, gradu-
ate of the University of California, was
put in nomination by State Superintendent
c. Swaford of Petaluma, and DR.. Angel
named Professor Wooster, an Eastern ap-
plicant. Governor Budd objected to the
nomination of an Eastern man if Cali
fornian could be secured.
81 am a Californian" he said, 'and want
to see Californians in our institutions"
The first ballot resulted: Rollane 2,
Swaford 3 and Wooster 2. Another ballot
was taken and Swaford received votes
and was declared elected. Rollane re-
| ceived votes and Wooster1.
For the position left vacant by Miss
Buckingham, the teacher of drawing and
| clay modelling. it was decided to reduce
the salary to $500. Nominations were then
called for, and Miss Wilson stated that she
had been very much impressed with the
credentials of an Eastern applicant.
lis she an Eastern lady?" asked Cover
nor Budd.
| Eyes, }" was the answer.
"Then that settles it.. said Budd. 1--WE
don't want her. Isn't that right, DR..
| Angell?"
Yes" replied the Stanford man, "but I
prefer an Eastern oyster to one native of
| California"
well" retorted the Governor, ''that is
where you show your poor taste. The
California oysters are much the best if
you get enough of them. By the way,
professor, you are an Eastern man your
self, are you not?'
The Stanford savant was compelled to
acknowledge that he was.
Trustee Hart then placed Miss Matilda
Baker in nomination for teacher of draw
ing and clay modelling. By this time the
board had by mutual consent become
very informal in its proceedings. WINS
pered consultations were INDUCED in and
every few moments two or three members
would leave the room to hold an executive
session. When they finally succeeded in
getting things mapped out satisfactorily
Chairman French called them to order,
ana, ignoring the nomination for teacher
OF drawing and clay modelling, motion
by Governor Budd to reconsider the ac-
tons in fixing the salary and electing an
occupant for the position left vacant by
| Miss Scudamore was carried unanimously.
The board then adjourned until o'clock.
Governor Budd was not present at the
deliberations of the board this evening, he
having reformed to Sacramento by an after
noon train. Most of the evening was spent
in executive session, at the conclusion of
which the following were elected: l.. B..
| Wilson, at present principal of the San
Jose High School, teacher of mathematics
and physics; Miss Hattie Corey, teacher
of drawing; Miss Matilda Baker, teacher
of English, and Miss Eta Kinney, teacher
of biology. The giving to Vice-Principal
Kleeberger of a years leave of absence was
the result of enmity between him and the
principal, the trustees being obliged to drop
one or two others.
