Governor Budd called the Joint board
together again to discuss the ad visibility
OF electing principal for the San Diego
Normal School. This institution at pres
ent consists of only a board of trus ees
and site, for which reason Trustee Guy
and Superintendent Black urged the use
lessness OF principal at this time. Guy
moved that the nomin alton be postponed
for one year, and Toland offered as a sub
stitute that they proceed at once to ballot
for principal. Wilson of Los Angeles
expressed the opinion that as the princi-
PAL was by statute made an element OF the
board the refu al of the board to elect
principal would leave that body incom-
plete and its acts would be illegal.
The Governor shared this view, and il
was finally decided to leave the matter to
be decided at some future meeting to be
called by the president.
The San Diego board then held a brief
meeting for the purpose of organizing.
Trustee Shaun OF San Diego was elected
president, and Guy, Toland ana Shaun
we're made the executive committee. The
election OF secretary was left TO the next
meeting of the board at San Diego.
