Miss Maude Curtis was elected SUI

tbs. Leave of absence was granted
to Miss Harriet Stalnaker, of Glen

normals except Fairmont and Mar
shall colleges were granted an in
crease OF 500 in salary with under
standing that further increase in sal
airy for both teachers, and principals
would be made If appropriation by the
legislature would permit.
The board took an important step
in restricting all commandments
hereafter to the week of June Is. Mar
shall college, Glenville and Athens
will hold their commencement on
Tuesday of that week, and the other
three normals will hold their COM
mencements on Friday of the
same week Heretofore the COM
mencement period covered two weeks
to enable the beard to visit all the
schools during their commandments,
which was not only tax on the time
of each member but resulted in prac-
tically no benefit, as the board always
saw the schools on dress parade, and
the actual working of the school
could not be seen. 1t will be the new
policy of the board to visit each of
the schools several times during the
year.
An order was entered prohibiting
hereafter the offering OF prizes in
school contests by school book firms
or their agents.
Another meeting of the board will
be held next month for the purpose OF
revising the general regulations,
touching the schools, which have not
been corrected, or brought up 20 date
for some time. This is very laborious
work, and the volume of other bust
ness transacted at this meeting of the
board caused this, with several other
important matters, to be deferred till
the meeting next month.
