,oard and the board of trustees and of

board and the board of trustees and of
the building commission of the state
school of mines at Butte, the chairman
appointed a committee consisting of
Attorney General Nolan, Superintend-
ent Carleton, o. F. Goddard and N. w.
Mcconnell, to look into the law and re-
port to the board. This committee, af-
ter giving the subject consideration, re-
ported that the building commission,
holding office by virtue of the COVER
norS appointment are separate and
distinct from the board of trustees. The
commissions duties end with the COM,
pletion of the building and it's accept
ance by the state board of education.
Then the state board Of education is to
| appoint trustees, who are to manage the
| institution and report regularly to the
| board. 1t seems that board of trustees
| was one time appointed, but as there
| was nothing for them to do, the state
| board of education has not heard from
| them, and some of their terms have eX-
| pired. No successors will be appointed
until the building is completed and
! turned over to the state board of edu-
cation, which lis expected to happen
| some time this year. Then board of
| trustees will be named.
! AS there does not appear to be a
| unanimous opinion among the members
| of the board Of education as to the
| boards relations to the different state
institutions over which it has super
| vision, Messrs. Nolan, Mcconnell and
| Carleton were named on committee to
| look up the law and report at the next
session. Superintendent Tillinghast of
| the deaf and dumb asylum appeared be-
| fore the board and told of the poor. re-
| suits derived from the Peck-William
| system of heating used in the building.
| He severely censured the methods by
which it was attempted to heat the
building, and urged upon the board the
| installation of a heating system that
would not belle it's name.
| Governor Smith added to what Super
| intendent Tillinghast had said by in
| forming the board that he had visited
| the asylum last winter on a cold day
| and found that the thermometer in one
| of the rooms registered five below zero,
with the alleged heating system at
| work. The board decided it was mat
ter that could not be longer overlooked
! and, accordingly, instructed the com
| mittee of the board on the deaf and
| dumb asylum to act in conjunction with
| the Boulder committee OF the 1nst1tu-
| ton and the state board of examiners
| and put in a plant that will give better
| results.
| A resolution was adopted declaring 1t
the sense of the board that hereafter
| the members of the different standing
| committees make it a, point to visit the
state institutions to which they are ac-
| credited in the list of committees.
| Messrs. Chisholm, Hamilton and Gar
rett were appointed on committee to
| look into the rumors that have come to
| the ears of the board that certain of the
| instructors in some of the state institu-
| lions are devotng some of their time to
| outside matters, notably teaching pri-
vate pupils, when they should be Civ
ing their time to the state. Messrs.
Goddard, Carleton, Garrett, Hamilton
and Grant We're placed on the commit
tee of the board to attend the COM
mencement of the Montana university
and they left for Missoula tonight.
The board has adjourned until the
next meeting in December, or subject
to the call of Governor Smith The ex-
pectation is that in the latter part OF
July special meeting will be held in
Butte, when the school of mines is re-
ceived from the building commission.
