The special committee appointed to
view the Cheney normal school reported
as follows:
we. your committee. who visited the
state normal school at chenew Wash.
beg leave 10 present the following report:
Your committee arrived at Cheney on
Thursday a. noon. February IS ana spant
Thursday afternoon and Friday making 5
thorough an examination Of the condition
Of the school ard other affairs appertair-
ing thereto the limited time as our
disposal enabled us 10 do.
I'VE found the school at present occu-
plying The new building erected by the
trustees during the past two years. II
ingly well adapted for the purpose in
tended. and that the state has acquired
q model building for the money whicn
was appropriated for that purpose. We
feel that the trustees during the time
OF the construction have earnestly deyot-
ed much time 20 this work, and have at
all times SHOWN a devotion TO the state >
interests that reflects not only credit on
themselves as trustees. but which IS also
evident IN every transaction requiring
the spirit OF economy in public affairs.
In protecting the Interests OF the state
the trustees may have inadvertently and
unintentionaliy caused hardshlps upon
claimants for material and labor fur
nlshed TO the contractor CT the building
during the erection, but we deem their
conduct proper and their actions in the
matter unavoidable at the time.
THE trustees built the normal school
building so Tar as completed within the
appropriation. and should be commended
for their earnest work.
In reference 10 the present and past
management OF the school proper, your
committee feels hardly able 70 offer an
opinion. but IS OF the belief that the
changes made by the trustees In the fac
ulty were tn their opinion Tor the better
ment Of the institution. The present fac
atty are held in the highest respect by
both students and the board and mat
teTs are now tn such a favorable condi-
I ton that the school Will surely prove 10
be n valuable acquisition TO the educa-
ti0nal Institutions OF the state. We be-
lieYe and would recommend that in order
70 keep up the present high standing OF
thu institution no reduction OF salaries
would be advisable. The trustees during
the past year have already greatly re-
Gured many. IL not all. salaries.
Your committee would recommend
that stricter or more rigid uualifcs-
ton be adopted for the admission OF stu
dents TO the school. and also that a
proper fee for each and every term la
/ charged 10 students.
