Report of Committee on Appeals and Ad3ustments

April 3, 1929

Board of Education: We, your Committee on Appeals and Adjustments submit the following reports: Miss Lydia Greer, assistant secretary and attendance clerk at Roosevelt Junior High School, requests an adjustment of salary from $75.00 to $90.00 per month for the second semester. Since Miss Greer is working from 8 o’clock to 5 o’clock taking care of the attendance and even taking work home in order to finish the day’s job, and is giving complete satisfaction in every respect, we recommend that her request be granted, dating from January 28, 1929. Miss Dorothy Fulton, secretary and teacher at Classen, is requesting an adjustment of salary from $75•00 to $90i00 per month for the second semester. Since she is teaching part time.and doing assistant secretarial work, we recommend that her salary be adjusted from $75.00 to $90.00 per month, dating from January 28, 1929. Miss Sue Irwin had the misfortune of an accident last fall and was out of school about four months. She received her.salary for one of the two extra weeks of the first semester which are allowed all teachers who teach the entire semester. She requests that she be allowed the other week of the tenth month’s salary which is included with the check paid just before the Christmas vacation. Since she was absent from school four months, receiving the regular sick leave allowance, she would not be due the compensation for the extra week. Respectfully submitted,

J. R. Barton, Superintendent of Schools

G. A. Reeves, Chairman A. G. Hoge Cleve Harrell COMMITTEE ON APPEALS AND ADJUSTMENTS

The Committee also reported Mrs. Carrie Miller, teaching regularly on substitutes salary, had requested thatsince she is doing the work of a regular teacher, she be given the salary of a regular teacher. As there are many other teachers in the same situation and the Board’s funds do not permit giving the salary of a regular teacher to all, the committee recommended that Mrs. Miller’s request be denied.

Holiday on Memorial Day

The Superintendent made the following report on the use of padlocks for lockers in the High Schools:

Report of Supt. .

MEETING OF^M^Fr^iggQ^CContinued) Report of Supt. on Padlocks

" (1) As it was first arranged each pupil was required to provide himself 1with a padlock. This “proved very unsatisfactory because the cheap locks which were almost exclusively used could be picked easliy. Numbers of pupils made pass keys with which they could unlock almost any padlock which cost less than fl.50, and even many of the more expensive ones.

" (2) Frequently pupils wouldforget their keys and would have to go to class without their books. ” (3) The principals had no way of checking through lockers in case of rumors that pupils were pupils were bringing contraband goods to school or when pupils were suspected of having in their possession property belonging to others.

•' (h) When a pupil lost his key, the janitor was called from his work to saw the padlock off which meant a financial loss to the pupil. One janitor estimated that he had sawgd off 10,000 padlocks during his term of service in the Oklahoma City Schools.

" (5) When duplicate keys were filed in the principal’s office it required a great deal of time Of the employee in charge of the keys and interrupted his. other work. "To overcome these difficulties the experiment with the padlocks was conducted at first on a small scale. They proved so very satisfactory that the schools stocked them at cost. Their use is still optional with the pupils. A record of all the combinations is kept in the office, so if the pupil forgets his combination it can be supplied him with practically no inconvenience to the clerk. The serial number of the lock is recorded to identify ownership.

’’The pupil makes a deposit on the padlock and at the end of the term if he wishes to return his lock the deposit is refunded to him less 250 for the year’s wear and use. They all report the plan by far the most economical and satisfactory method from the view point'of both pupil and teacher.

"May I suggest that, the service rendered the school by this plan in the opinion of all who have had experience with this method here and in many other cities such as Houston, Kansas City, Washington D. C., New Orleans St. Louis, Des Moines and others has more than justified its use. Rather than, deprive the teachers and pupils of the use of these combination padlocks( I would recommend that the Board purchase the necessary supply as a part of the schools’ equipment the same as baskets, lockers, etc., and that they be given to the pupils,-requiring deposit of cost which will be refunded to the pupils at the end of the year if the pupil does not keep the lock less 250 for wear and use." Or they might be furnished free of rent. Otherwise the present rental plan be continued." : After discussion it was moved by Mr. Reeves and seconded by Mr. McCall that the present system be continued and that pupils be allowed to purchase locks from any one they desire., and if the school locks are used, they pay a rental fee of 250 a year. Motion carried.

Report Adopted

The Superintendent presented the following: "Dear Mr. Barton:

There has been considera,ble complaint about the lighting in the class rooms used for the Night School. This complaint is justifiable. The lighting is of the type used in 1910 when the building was built. It is now obsolete.

Lighting for Night Classes

Here is my suggestion: 1..That out of the Night School fund money be taken to pay for new light fixtures in all rooms used for Public Night School classes. 2. That the Buildings and Grounds Department install these fixtures. 3That these fixtures be of the latest and best type. This change applies only to the main building at Central. Yours very truly, H. F. Rusch, Director Vocational & Industrial Education

The Royal Typewriter Company sent a factory representative to Oklahoma City who requested that the Royal typewriters be used for a longer period of time. He stated that on account of the special construction their typewriters would give good service with no repair cost for at least ten years, and that it.wauld be a loss to the Board to trade them out before that time. There are approximately 221 L. C. Smith, Remington and Underwood typewriters that are four years old, with an average exchange allowance of $26.65. 00 65

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, MET IN

SPECIAL SESSION IN THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 304 WEST FIRST STREET,

OKLAHOMA CITY, ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1929, AT NINE O’CLOCK A. M, PRESENT:

R. F. J. Williams, President J. G. Stearley, Clerk

G. C. Harrell Earl E. Leech M. S. McEldowney G. 0. Woodworth ABSENT:

J. 0. Crawford Frank McCall G. A. Reeves

The President stated that the meeting was called to consider a change in the rule regarding teachers’ absence on account of illness and for the transaction of other business brought to the attention of the Board. The Superintendent submitted the following report:

"The situation that exists relative to the teachers’ salary budget, in brief, is that at the present time we lack approximately $15,000 of the amount required by the Board of Education to elect the teachers now serving temporarily and needed permanently in the public schools. All new teachers woth degrees who have been elected this year have been elected at a salary of $1200 per year. The Board, of Education and the community in general have done everything possible to secure the maximum funds available for the operation of the schools this year. The increase in assessed valuation of more than $14,000,000 was in excess of the average increase for several years previous by more than $10,000,000. The budget had to be cut solely because of the fact that tax protest suits wiped out a surplus of more than $200,000 which had been included in the original budget estimate. The Board of Education cut everywhere else possible before touching the salary budget. The suggestions outlined below for providing added funds for the teachers salary budget and which were unanimously approved by the officers and executive committee of the Oklahoma City Teachers Mutual Association, the school principals, the supervisors, and the administrative officers of the school offer an opportunity for the instructional employees of the school to cooperate in maintaining the present high standards of instruction this year. The suggestions as outlined were as follows:

”1. That the Present rule No. 17, Article VI, of the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Education pertaining to ’’absence on account of illness” be suspended for the remainder of the present school year, 1929-30.

”2. That a new rule be substituted as follows: For the remainder of the school year, 1929,-30 > in case of absence from duty on the part of any instructional employee because of sickness as attested to by the school physician, or because of death in the immediate family, the sum of $5*00 per day ’for each day of school missed not in excess of 40 days shall be deducted from the salary of that employee. For any absences in excess of 40 school days the total salary shall be deducted. "That this rule be placed in effect and operative from the date of adoption by the Board of Education.

"3. That the $16,500 provided in the teachers’ salary budget for substitute teachers be released for the employment of such teachers as are needed to operate the schools.

"4. That in case a supplementary appropriation can be procured and granted to the Board of Education by the Excise Board before July 1, 1930, sufficient to provide funds for other emergency needs of the school and to reimburse the instructional employees either in full or in part for such losses as are had through the substitution of this rule for the one now in operation, such reimbursement will be made."

Report on Change of Rule 17, Article V

MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 25, 1929 (Continued

New Rule Adopted

It was moved by Mr. Woodworth and seconded by Mr. Harrell that the report be adopted with the exception of paragraph ”2" which shall be made to read as follows: ”2.

That a new rule be substituted as follows:

For the remainder of the school year I929-3O, in case of absence from duty on the paTt of any instructional employee because of sickness as attested by the school physician, or because of death in the immediate family, the sum of $5*00 per day for each day of school missed shall be deducted from the salary of that employee, provided that no employee shall receive in excess of ten full days’ pay during such absence. After-the full ten days’ pay has been so received the total salary shall be deducted during absence. This rule shall be placed in effect and operative from the beginning of the first pay period following the date of adoption by the Board of Education.”

Request of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Junior League October 24, 1929 to Move Community House on Walnut Grove School Ground

For approximately three years the Oklahoma City Junior League has conducted a community house, with activities of the general character described below, at a site in Walnut Grove near the Walnut Grove School. The Rock Island Railway has acquired this site as part of its new right-of-way, but has presented to us the building which we have used on the condition that we remove it very shortly. There is no available site, obtainable at suitable terms, to which to remove the building. After careful thought, and having in mind the extent to which we have been able heretofore to cooperate with the Principal and teaching staff of your Walnut Grove school, and being unable to discover occasion for either conflict or duplication in the work which your board does through its school and the work which we are attempting to do in our community house activities, we have decided to ask of your Board the privilege of removing our house to the extreme east end of the school grounds facing Pottowatomie Street, and that we be permitted to use such space of your grounds as may be needful for our supervised play and employments. During the term, on school days, our work commences at the adjournment of the school, except perhaps what we may do in kindergarten work. We believe there is adequate area in the grounds to at once supply both your and our needs. If this permission is granted, we undertake to move and keep the building in repair at our own expense and to remove it at any time the School Board desires either to dispose of the property or to expand its school facilities in such a way as would be inconsistent with our continued occupancy.

160 MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1929

Request of Junior League to Move Community House to Walnut Grove Grounds

The nature and scope of our work are briefly as follows: It is among and deals with the children of the Walnut Grove district. You are, of course, familiar with the general surroundings of this neighborhood. We employ a trained worker to supervise the boys' activities and have engaged the services of a student in kindergarten work, who, under the tutelage of the head of the training department of Oklahoma City University, will be supervisor of the girlsâ€™ activities, and, as well, in charge of our kindergarten. You doubtless have in mind that there is no kindergarten in the Walnut Grove school. For the past year we have maintained a kindergarten with whose work Miss Daugherty, Principal of the Walnut Grove school, has been in close contact. With her cooperation and sympathy our plan for the ensuing year is to increase the efficiency and scope of this phase of our work.

We maintain a library of respectable character and proportions, available to school children. From time to time we provide special entertainments for the children* in which, as often as possible, they participate. In addition, two of our members are assigned to duty and are present at the community house each day, in contact with the children and assisting the trained employees in respect of the work and play of the boys and girls. Our Walnut Grove community house was the first and is now the major activity of our league of fifty members and receives our constant care.

We respectfully refer you to Miss Daugherty as to the standard which we attempt to maintain, and as to the spirit and extent of our cooperation with her and her staff, of teachers. The hope of more effective cooperation with the school was a major factor in our decision to present this request to you. Your early action hereon will be appreciated; your favorable action is greatly hoped for, and would merit and receive our sincere gratitude.

OKLAHOMA CITY JUNIOR LEAGUE By Mrs. Philip Pierce . Chairman of the Walnut Grove Committee Request Granted

It was moved by Mr. Woodworth and seconded by Mr. McCall that the request be granted and upon roll call the motion carried unanimously.

Central Gym Granted Y.M.C.A.

A. for the use of one of the gymnasiums of Central High School by the Church and Sunday School Basket Ball League, an interdenominational organization supervised by the Y. M. C. A.

Sale of Foods and Drinks in Cafeterias to Principals and Medical Inspector

A letter was read from Mr. E. W. Carroll, Vice-President of the Dr. Pepper Oklahoma Bottling Company, requesting that the sale of bottled Dr. Pepper in the school cafeterias be permitted by the Board. The Clerk was instructed to advise Mr. Carroll that the regulation of the sale of foods and drinks in cafeterias was directly under the principal of the school and the Medical Inspector.

Bill for Transfers from Dist.36 to Attorney

Following report by the Clerk that District No. 36, Oklahoma County, had failed to pay tuition fees due for pupils transferred to Oklahoma City Schools last year, it was moved by Mr. Woodworth and seconded by Mr. McEldowney that the bill, in the amount of $213*20, be referred to the Attorney for collection Motion carried.

TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF OKLAHOMA'CITY,- OKLAHOMA: Your Committee appointed some months ago to consider and revise the salary schedule for the Oklahoma City School District is now ready to make a report of its findings. We realize that even with our best efforts this schedule is not perfect but we have tried to take into cinsideration everyone interested in the matter. The factors entering into our deliberations were, first, the welfare of the school children of this District for whose benefit this entire system know as Public Schools is operated; secondly, we have had in mind the instructional employe who has chosen as a life work the education of the youth. We have tried to look at it from the teachers’ viewpoint insofar as compensation is concerned and from the public’s standpoint as to the qualifications of the teacher; thirdly, we have also had in mind that source from which we receive funds to carry on this work and that is, from the tax payers viewpoint.

Report of Salary Schedule Committee

MEETING OF APRIL 1, 1930, (Continued) -A-.-;-

Report of SalarySchedule Committee

To do all of this it necessarily follows that some particular part or condition of this schedule may seem to work a hardship on some particular individual but we believe that as a whole it will compare favorably in most respects with the schedules in use in school systems of cities in this section of the country operating under similar conditions to ours and of approximately the same population as we have at this time. In considering the problem before us, we have procured from some ten school systems schedules under which they are now operating, for instance, cities like Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio, Kansas City, Missouri, St. Joseph, Omaha, Denver, Des Moines and Tulsa. We have studies these various ' schedules and have tried to pick out the good features in the best of them and incorporate them in our schedule. In addition to this, we have always had the advise of the Superintendent of our Schools and his associates, the local Mutual Teachers' Association, and we have discussed it with some of our leading citizens and tax payers.

Out greatest desire has been to work out a schedule that would be comparable to school systems of our class. We want a schedule that will appeal to, and hold, the very highest class of educators in the country. We believe that we are entitled to the best and we feel reasonably sure that a.comparison' of the schedule herewith presented with any of the systems of cities of similat size will indicate that we will have no difficulty in reaching this ainu

With these statements, your Committee hereby moves that the Salary Schedule attached hereto be adopted by the Board of Education of the Oklahoma City School District to become effective at once and it is suggested that, said Schedule be voted upon by sections.

Respectfully submitted,

G. A. Reeves Chairman G. 0.

"It is not the intention of anyone in the Better English Contest to compel pupils to secure papers who do not have the 'Adventures in Language Land' lessons at home.

Protest of Oklahoma News and Patrons

OUR ’’SKIPPER” Every one claims him. The students of Central High School say, ”He was ours”; the Central High School faculty says, ”He belonged to us”; the Y. M. C. A, ”We have lost a best friend”; the Lions Club, ”0ur president is gone”; the church, ”We can scarcely carry on without him”; the civic organizations, ”We shall sorely miss the help of a beloved leader”; all who knew him loved him and say, ”We have lost a friend.” We, too, claim him as our very own. His smile brought a ray of sunshine to the most serious school problem. When we were confronted with difficulty our first thought was, ”We shall ask the skipper.” But God, whose love and understanding gave Him the first claim to us all, has called our Skipper with his genial smile and willing hand to work with Him. Still, He has left us the rich memory of a life well-lived to help us carry on.

Report Adopted

The following report was made by Superintendent Barton on the question of a demonstration of Miller Made aluminum ware, referred to Mr. Barton at a previous meeting:

Report of Supt. on Miller Made Ware

MEETING OF JULY 7, 1930 (Continued)

Gentlemen of the Board 'Of Education Mr. J. G. Stearley, Business Manager Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

July 3, 1930 '■U

In response to your request for a report and recommendation on the project of additional equipment for the home economics departments of the high schools I respectfully submit the following. 1.

The Home Economics Teachers are very consistently of one mind in making recommendations as follows: 1.

That the departmental budgets for the purpose of additional material be not disturbed. They are necessary to purchase supplies needed for the class room instruction throughout the year.

That additional equipment is very much needed if funds are available from sources other than the regular budget for supplies. They have made out requisitions, the originals of which are on file with Mr. Stearley.

If these requisitions are honored, and this greatly needed equipment is furnished and funds are available, the teachers would like to experiment with the Miller Maid Ware, or its equivalent, for the dry cooking process.

I concur in these recommendations in which the teachers are in hearty accord, and recommend that if the funds are available, the additional equipment requisitioned be first purchased and then an amount of one hundred dollars for each school be subject to requisition next fall when the heads of departments return, for the aluminum ware as needed. Respectfully submitted,

J. R. Barton Superintendent City Schools

Upon motion of Mr. Williams, reconded by Mr. Crawford the recommendation of the Superintendent was concurred in.

List of Bills The following report was read: Recommended for Payment by Clerk Board of Education Gentlemen:

July 7, 1930

The following list of bills amounting to $ 27,975.51, carrying verification as to prices, calculation and receipt by the heads of the various departments, has been audited and approved by the auditor, and are . recommended for payment. Respectfully submitted,

Opinion of Attorney on Use of Text Books

Board of Education

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma August 1, 1930

Gentlemen:

In reply to your inquiry as to whether the Board may adopt and use supplementary books other than those adopted by the Text Book Commission of the State of Oklahoma, it is my opinion that you cannot legally do so. The law provides that on all subjects on which text books are to be adopted by the Text Book Commission, the Commission shall adopt basal books and such supplementary books as shall be necessary to complete the

r=?^

Attorney’s Opinion

course of study; and further provides that the books and apparatus adopted by the commission shall be introduced and used to the exclusion of all o thers in the common schools of this state. Therefore, it is my opinion that the Board of Education must adopt and use the basal books, and whatever of the suplemental books that may be necessary to complete the course of study, in each of the grades-and the junior and senior high schools. Respectfully submitted,

Report of 0. N. G. Corporation

Board of Education

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma August IS, .1930

Gentlemen:

In our report of June 13th, covering some thirty-six of the schools in the Oklahoma City school district, we agreed to furnish and install the piping on school property at no cost to the Board, but at a cost to us of $4-539.00. We also agreed to furnish and install boiler room piping and burner equipment as specified, for the sum of $21,037.00, which amount represents the estimated cost of labor and material. We also agreed to spend $30,103.00 on main extensions necessary to place -each and every school on our medium pressure system in order to render the maximum service to these institutions. In this report we indicated a fuel saving of $5611.00 in favor of gas, which amount represents a return of 26.6$ on the investment, without any consideration whatsoever having been given to the saving on labor. Our report is based upon data collected from many -similar installations in which gas has supplanted coal and, therefore, we know whereof we speak and are willing to stand back of the findings of this report to the extent that we now agree, in addition to all that was included in the report, to furnish and install this equipment for a one year trial period, at the close of w which period the Board can render its decision relative to whether the investment is warranted or not, based upon the actual and not the estimated coal and gas costs. In addition, we are willing to furnish and install for a trial period of one year any make of burner and governor equipment other than that included in the report, that the Board may wish to specify and if accepted at the end of the trial period, this equipment shall be purchased by the Board on the basis of the actual cost of labor and material without overhead or profit.

The cost of the burner and governor equipment as specified in our report amounts to $12,960.50, and the remainder of the $21,037.00 is for piping, fittings, valves, fire brick and labor. This burner and governor equipment cost can be reduced somwhat by selecting other equipment. Very truly yours,

Oklahoma Natural Gas Corporati ?n

The Board

Education

OF THE CITY OF

Oklah oma City , Oklaho

•400 NORTH WALNUT AVENUE

TO THE PATRONS OF THE OKLAHOMA CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS:

In order that you may understand the attitude and policy of the Oklahoma City Public Schools relative to fraternities, sororities, and secret societies we are sending you the following:

An extract from the state school laws governing school fraternities.

(2)

An extract from the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Education.

(3)

The pupil’s pledge of non-membership in a fraternity or sorority.

(4)

The rule governing eligibility for participation in school activities and for holding school offices.

EXTRACT FROM THE OKLAHOMA STATE SCHOOL LAWS.

(ARTICLE XXI)

(Section 296). Fraternities Prohibited. That from and after the passage of this act, it shall be unlawful for any pupil registered in any elementary or high school of the state, supported wholly, or in part, by public funds, to join, to become a member of, or to solicit any other person to become a member of any fraternity, sorority, or other secret society formed wholly, or in part, from the membership of pupils attending such schools; Provided, however, that this provision does not apply to the Order of De Molay and Rainbow Girls. (S.B. 372, S.L. 1923, Sec. 1).

(Section 298). Suspension and Expulsion of Pupils. The boards of education and school directors shall have full power to suspend and expel any and all pupils who shall refuse to comply with the regulations of such board, or the provisions of Section 296 of this article. (Section 299). Soliciting for Fraternity Membership Prohibited—Punishment: It is hereby declared unlawful for any person to cause, solicit, induce, or encourage any pupil or pupils of the public elementary or high schools of the state to join, or become members of any fraternity, sorority, or other secret societies or to solicit any person or persons to attend any societies or to solicit any person or persons to attend any meeting of such societies or other meeting wherein membership to such societies is encouraged. Such persons shall be liable to a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars and not more than five hundred dollars for such offense.

EXTRACT FROM RULES AND REGULATIONS OF BOARD OF EDUCATION. RULE 8, PAGE 37.

ARTICLE VII,

Fraternities. No secret fraternity or society shall be formed wholly or in part from the membership of any public school of the City of Oklahoma City, nor exist in any pub He school of said city; and no pupil shall solicit any other pupil to become a member of any secret fraternity or society formed wholly or in part from the membership of such schools. Any pupil violating any of the provisions of this rule may be suspended or expelled from school. 3.

PUPIL’S PLEDGE.

Each senior high school student in Oklahoma City is given the opportunity of signing the following pledge at the time of school enrollment, thus assuring the school of his cooperation. Students who do not sign this pledge will be barred from extra-curricular activities as outlined in section four of this letter. “I hereby agree that at no time in any school semester during which I am enrolled as a pupil in the public schools of Oklahoma City will I hold membership in, or attend any meetings of any secret fraternity, sorority, or other secret society.”

RULE GOVERNING ELIGIBILITY FOR MEMBERSHIP IN SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES.

No members of a fraternity, sorority, or other secret society shall be eligible to participate in any junior or senior high school extra-curricular activity or to represent the school in any contest; nor shall he or she be eligible to hold

office in any school organization. Be it further provided that no senior high school pupil shall be eligible for such participation or office holding who shall fail to sign the pledge of non-membership in a fraternity or sorority.

If, at any time during the school year, it becomes evident that a member of any athletic team or member of any other contesting organization was at the time of the contest a member of a fraternity or sorority, all contests in which such member participated shall be declared forfeit to the opposing school. If, at any time during the school year, it becomes evident that any student is a member of a fraternity, sorority, or secret society, he shall be subject to the enforcement of the state laws and the rules and regulations of the Board of Education governing school fraternities.

DESIGNATION OF NON-FRATERNITY, NON-SORORITY, AND NON-SECRET SOCIETIES.

An interschool council consisting of two faculty members and one student from each senior high school and one faculty member from each junior high school appointed by the respective principals shall be authorized to receive written application from any organization desiring to be designated as non-fratemity, non-sorority, and non-secret, and shall have authority to approve or disapprove such applications; Provided, that groups sponsored by school or church authorities shall be considered as on the approved list. It shall be the responsibility of the individual pupil to ascertain the status of all organizations to which he belongs. Said council shall also decide which school activities are extra-curricular.

We have taken this stand because we believe that pupils should observe the law,—that training in law observance is an important part of the education of future citizens; because it is our duty to enforce the state laws; and because we believe that fraternities and sororities have no rightful place in the public schools. We shall appreciate your active cooperation. Thereby you will help serve the best interests of your own children and the schools of Oklahoma City. We especially urge that you impress upon your child or children that after signing this pledge you and we expect them to live up to their word of honor. (Signed) The Board of Education of Oklahoma City
