consideration at the meeting Of the
Board Of Trustees Of the state Normal
Schools. which wss recently held IN
Denver. This meeting Was attended
by President Kelley and George Heth-
er,ngton, q member of the board, from
Gunnison.
President kelley's plans for the sum
mer school, which include the edition
Of ten more teachers, received favor
chile considerstion. The board set aside
$500 for campus improvements. These
improvements include the planting of
trees. construction of walks end drives,
end necessary repsirs.

academic school year faculty ten mem
hers. Making total Of twenty teach
ers. This means that the faculty,

ed Ii is planned that these additional

Nay. Miss Bruner has taken parts in
both '-She Stoops to Conquer, the
High School Play, and "As You Like
It," the Normal play, and should stage
them most acceptsbly.
The question Of separating the State
Teachers College at Greeley and the
NOipFdup ctdtt lNpftndi 'ufifiSoti,
placing them under seperate boards
came up for consideration. 1t seemed
to be the prevailing opinion that il
would not be advisable at this time to
urge the Legislature to make legisla-
tive enactment providing for the crea-
tion of a seperate board for the Colora-
do State Normal School, but all seemed
to agree that it would be well that each
school have its own president Presi-
dent Snyder, of Greeley, who is at pre-
sent president of the school here, seem
ed to be in favor of Gunnison having
its own president. Certain members
of the board gave notice that at the
June meeting a vote will be taken pro.
viding for the placing of the Norma
Schooi here under its own president L
is thought that no difficulty will be en-
countered in securing favorable vote
for this sepc ration. 1t is thought thai
the legislature would never agree {,
two seperate boards, however, ON ac
count Of the fact there are too many
state boards at the present time, IN
voivIng an unnecessary expense.
While in Denver, President Kelley
and Mr. Hetherington visited the Audi
tors office to inquire regarding tn,
question of funds and were Informed
that the outlook for the payment of tn,
appropriation is good.
The board voted at its meeting I,
grant President Snyder four months
leave of absence.
