Report on Closing of Swimming Pools
N. L. George, Director of Business Board of Education:
All indoor swimming pools and the four outdoor wading pools under school supervision were closed on Wednesday, July 7. Swimmers were denied admittance on this date. This order was issued several hours before the city manager ordered the closing of all swimming and wading pools under city supervisioh. The lifeguards and matrons at the indoor pools were assigned temporarily as follows: Roy Martin - Playground at Harmony Joel Keeter and Ed Stevens - Work at Supply Room, Emerson Mabel. Montgomery - Playground at Lee Ruby Tabor - Playground at Horace. Mann Emma Yarborough - Playground at Taft Harold K. Deming and Dola Mae Evans - Unassigned.
Mr. Leming and Miss Evans preferred not to work until the pools were reopened.. Few lifeguards are available, consequently it was thought best to keep them on the payroll even though there is a possibility that pools will not reopen for a week or more.
We hope that this will meet with the approval of the administration. Very sincerely, Signed:

IN MEMORIAM John George Stearley It was with great regret and a deep sense of loss to the community that members and officials of the Board of Education learned of the death of George Stearley, as he was familiarly called, on August 12, 1943.
Mr. Stearley was a most faithful and efficient employee of the Board of Education for thirty years, having come into the school system in 1910 as janitor in the Jefferson School, winning speedy promotions until in 1916 he became Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. In 191S he was elected Clerk . of the Board, which position included the duties of Business Manager, and which he held continuously, with the exception of the years 1922 and 1923, until 1941, when he was compelled to resign on account of ill-health.
(Continued)
En Memoriam I. G. Stearley

According to statements of Mr. Cox, a large majority of the school cafeterias * were overdrawn on points, ranging from eleven thousand to two hundred thousand when the school term ended last spring,and it would be necessary to change menus to reduce the average points per pupil from last year’s range of from eleven to one hundred and fifteen points to an average of 13.2 points per^ Jh^ month. The only way this could be done, Mr. Cox said, would be' for the ' Board to establish a method of centralized buying and planned menus.

Surplus Commodities ' Offered

Davenport, Cafe and Luncheonette Supervisor of the Mongomery Ward Company, who suggested that the Board consult Mr. Frank Washam, Superintendent of the Chicago Public School Lunch Rooms, who had been directly responsible for successful revision of the personnel training program, Installation of central purchasing, and was thoroughly experienced in all point rationing procedures.

Approved

I shall be happy to talk with you again if you so desire. At any rate, I shall appreciate it if you will let us know definitely regarding your decision; since in case you do not take the position, I hope we can make as wise a choice as possible in the selection of a principal for this school.

My. .H. B. Bruner Supt. of Schools 4-00 North Walnut Avenue Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Sincerely yours,
H. B. Bruner Paoli, Oklahoma September 1, 1943
Dear Mr. Bruner: In reply to your letter of August 23, I beg to advise you that I don't understand the intent of your letter. It seems that I am to draw and submit to you my contract.
I cannot help but feel that since having served in the public schools of Oklahoma City for the past fifteen years and that my services were
tween Supt. and F. W. Hatcher
O
Correspondence Between Supt. and F. W. Hatcher
satisfactory, and that since I was drafted in the Army and having given six months to my country’s service and that on my return, I am demoted in position and salary, that this action is not within fairness, justice and good policy. I can not but feel a bit humiliated with the demotion.
Therefore, if it is still your desire and decision that I have to take this demotion, I will resign. It is my ambition to be fair in all things to the best of my ability and I sincerely trust thatyou will take my action in the light of the above and foregoing statements. Most sincerely yours,
F. W. Hatcher Hatcher Refuses Appointment as Principal of Riverside

Upon returning to the meeting Dr. Bruner told the Board that Mr. Hatcher repeated his statement that he considered the assignment a demotion and refused to accept the appointment, although he was assured that it carried no reduction in salary, but the same increase as that given to other principals.

Report of Insurance Committee
Report of the Insurance Committee, accompanied by a list of the insured properties and valuations, was submitted as follows: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma October 6, 194-3Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Gentlemen:
Your Insurance Committee has had several meetings, report the following action taken subject to your approval:
and wishes to
1. After giving effect to changes in the schedule we find that it becomes necessary to renew $1,67^,7^2.00 in order to maintain the amount of Insurance in balance with the, amount required by the new schedule. 2. In accordance with the policy established by your Insurance Committee th three years ago to reduce, the number of outstanding policies and to simplify the Insurance Program as much as possible we have arranged to have this coverage written a.s follows: $200,000.00 . 200,000.00 200,000.00 200,000.00 200,000.00 200,000.00 200,000.00 200,000.00 7^,762.00
Euraka-Security Fire & Marine Ins. Company National Union Fire Insurance Company Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Company, Dubuque Fire and Marine Insurance Company Albany Insurance Conpany Newark Fire Insurance Company Great American Insurance Company Employers’ Fire Insurance Company Jersey Insurance Company of New York
3. The forms have been revised and are now in the hands of the printer and the policies will be ready for delivery in a very short time. Effective binders have been issued by authorized agents of each company concerned.
4-. In connection with the above action the Committee has continued the practice previously established of not permitting a Committee member to issue any of these policies. 5. The Committee has also continued to follow the practice of placing the Insurance in companies which have not participated in previous years. 6. As you already know the entire commission on all of this business is pool ed by the Oklahoma City Insurance Exchange and each member receives one share At present there are 91 members. The committee has also voted to distribute one share to certain agents who are not members of the exchange as follows: W. C. Theimer 0. H. McKee N. L. Dillow Albert Upsher L. T. Tryon C. T. Lockwood H. 0. Crum Wildman & Whistler
Oklahoma Oklahoma Oklahoma Oklahoma Oklahoma Oklahoma Britton Britton
City City City City City City
In making the foregoing selections the Committee gave consideration to all factors in connection with each name proposed, such as length of time engaged in business; whether or not the agent maintains an office and is legitimately engaged in the insurance business; ethical practices; character of companies represented and such other facts and Information as came before the committee.
The committee wishes to recommend that the Board of Education employ a competent architect or valuation engineer to make an appraisal of the present insurable value of all buildings , structures and their contents. There is no means at the disposal of this or any other committee of agents which might be appointed whereby you could be assured that the amounts of insurance carried on the various buildings and their contents are in proper relation to the values. If such an appraisal were once made and kept up to date from year to year, the expense after the first year would not be heavy and the over all value of such a report would more than justify Itself over a period of years.
Each member of the committee desires to express his thanks to you for the confidence in us which is implied in our appointment and we hope you will find that we have discharged the responsibility with integrity and in a satisfactory manner. Respectfully submitted, Members: E. V. Mashburn Signed: M. B. Breeding, Chairman M. L. Sumner Leslie A. Ash 0. H. McKee

These taxes were assessed almost thirty years ago, and about twenty years ago the Board of Education condemned this property, money to pay these taxes having been paid into Court and improperly paid out. The taxes had never been cancelled and several years ago proceedings to refund these taxes were instituted, the principal being $1447.02 and the penalty almost as much.

Minutes Approved
As requested in the previous meeting of the Board, Mrt Prigmore submitted a detailed statement and analysis of the 194-3-4-4- Lanham Act Budget, showing expenditures and estimated needs. This Budget showed an estimated ijacome of $60,000.00more than that shown in the budget submitted in the application for Lanham Act funds and showed the estimated needs exceeding the amount shown in the budget submitted with the application for Lanham Act funds in the sum of $67,376.59. ? ;
Analysis of Lanham Act Budget Presented by Auditor
Mr. Warren H. Hitt, Field Supervisor for the Regional Office in Fort Worth, was present at the meeting. Mr. Hitt had gone over the statement prepared by Mr. Prigmore and had analysed it carefully.
F W A Representative
Mr. Hitt stated to the Board that the Lanham Act passed by Congress was to assist school districts, which, because of the war impact, had an increased membership necessitating the expenditure of more money to maintain their standards under prudent operation.
I
Mr. Hitt said that he had authority to pass upon the matters now before the Board, and that, in his opinion, the increase of estimated expenses shown in Mr. Prigmore’s statement just presented were justifiable under the Lanham Act and that in spite of the fact that estimated revenues of the district exceeded those shown in the budget originally submitted with the district’s application for Lanham Act funds; nevertheless, the carrying out of the budget now submitted would not change the application made on the Lanham Act grant heretofore made to this districtzand the increased revenue would not change the grant heretofore made of Lanham Act funds; but that it would be necessary to submit this last budget to the Department for approval. Mr. Hitt said that this would be ^approved and that the Board could carry out this last budget submitted and that the grant heretofore made of Lanham Act funds would be carried out and be forthcoming and that the Board would still be allowed to retain $137,000 surplus.
Statement by Mr. Hit
Mr. Turner moved that the budget be submitted as suggested by Mr. Hitt. In speaking to the motion, Mr. Turner stated that the last budget prepared is necessary necessary to' maintain the present standards in the district and i-sneeeasary-3'to avoid the reduction in teachers’ s alaries, and that the funds to carry out this budget could only be obtained from taxation, and sources provided by law, and that additional funds from such sources can not be obtained, and, therefore, it is necessary to apply for these funds under the Lanham Act. Mr. Turner further stated that as he understood it any increase of teachers’ salaries in a succeeding year*whlch are reasonable under all circumstances would not militate against the district in any future Lanham Act negotiations. Mr. Hitt, in response to this, stated that at present My. Turner's statement would be correct, but that he could not guarantee that there would be no change in the Lanham Actr in the future. After full discussion, the motion was seconded by Mr. McKown. Upon roll call all members present voted "Aye," except Mr. Edwards, who voted "No," and the motion was declared to have carried.
Lanham Act Budget Approved
* (above the normal increase under Board rules)
Upon motion of Mr. McKown, seconded by Mr. Turner, a vote of cordial thanks was extended to Mr. Hitt for his assistance to the Board of Education on his visits to Oklahoma City.

The following report was submitted: Warrant Writing Machine. Payroll Deductions: The Board of Education Payrolls Warrant have become so complicated, due to .tie required salary deductions, that a plan Writing for giving this Information to employees by means of a stub attached to the Machine wqrrant has been under consideration in the Business Office. At present there are four possible deductions, and in order to carry these four items the form of the warrant must be changed and the warrant machine reconditioned. This change in the machine can be made for approximately $300.00. If, however, a greater number of deductions are to be made next year, such as for hospitalization, or for War Stamps and Bonds, it will be necessary to purchase a new machine which will cost approximately $1600.00. Consideration and an immediate decision by the Board is imperative as warrants for 19W—^5 must be printed in order to be ready when needed in July. Mr. McKown moved that the warrant writing machine be reconditioned at an approximate cost of $300.00. The motion was seconded by Mr. Turner and upon" roll call carried unanimously.

Reports of Secondary School Principals on Survey of Voc. Ed. Needs
A report of classifications of Fund, Bank and Investment accounts of the Junior and Senior High Schools, made by Mr. Prigmore under date of December 31, 1943, was discussed. Mr. Prigmore said that a new report would.be prepared at the end of the fiscal year and would be presented August 1st. Several questions of policy were discussed: (1) Regulations; (2) Bonds; (3) Deposits, and (4) Investment in Government Bonds.
Report: of Activity Accounts
Mr' Lybrand submitted the following letter;regarding bonds, deposits and methods of procedure: Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma l#. Attention - Dr. Bruner
Gentlemen: As I understand it, the Treasurer of activities funds of a school gives one bond to cover all funds.. His deposits in any one bank are protected under the guaranty law up to $5,000.00.
better from the Attorney
It is my opinion that where the total funds of a Treasurer exceed $5,000.00,.he would not get the protection on the entire fund by carrying more than one account in any one bank because under the law all deposits bewhich belong to one person are added together and the total is protected only up to $5,000.00.
Inasmuch as the Treasurer gives one bond, the total fund becomes the individual protected.
It would be very simple for any Treasurer to keep his active account in one bank less than $5,000.00 andto place the excess in a certificate of deposit or chasier’s check of not more that $5,000.00 in another bank. A certificate of deposit, or a chasier’s check, is a deposit protected under the guaranty law. Yours very truly,
(Signed)
Lybrand
Mr. Lybrand also called attention to the following statute passed by the 1943 Legislature:
"Control of Student Activity Funds - Rules and Regulations - Bonds. That the Board of Education of each independent school district of the State of Oklahoma be and it hereby is directed, authorized and empowered to provide, by suitable rules and regulations to be adopted by such Board of Education, for the selection or election of a Board or Boards or governing body or governing bodies, when selected pursuant to the. rules and regulations so adopted by the Board of Education of its District, which Board or Boards or governing body or. bodies, shall exercise complete control oyer all funds on hand or hereafter received or collected from all student activities conducted in such school district, including all funds received or collected from students, pupils and others, as admission charges to athletic contests, school plays and any and all other school activities and from the sale of so-called student activity tickets.”
Action on these questions of policy was postponed until a Board is appointed to control funds in individual schools, in compliance with the low quoted.

Bodine inviting City, County and School officials, the Research Institute and other civic groups, to attend a meeting to be held in his office Thursday A. M. at ten o’clock. It was agreed that members of the Board would attend the meeting.
Meeting with County Assessor Regarding Re-evaluation of Property
Dr. Bruner, also reported to the Board that while in New York City he had had a conference with Dr. N. L.. Engelhardt who had agreed to come to Oklahoma City for one week to make: an initial survey of Oklahoma City. School needs, for the sum of $1,000.00. He would be assisted by Dr. Frank Hart, professor of education of, the University of California for whose.present services there would be no charge as he was in Oklahoma City attending a meeting of the Civil Aeronautics Association and his expenses had already been paid; that later, if the Board wished them to continue the survey, a contract could be entered into, at a fee of one-half of one per cent of the architects’ fees for work completed under their plans and recommendations. The $1,000.00 paid Dr. Engelhardt would be considered as an advance on the contract. Dr. Bruner cited instances of results obtained-by Dr. Engelhardt in increased living space in planning interiors of schopl buildings, and pointed out the advantage of having this survey-made in connection with the City and County program under Bartholemew and Associates, and recommended that the employment of Dr. Engelhardt be approved by the Board. After a lengthy discussion, Mr. McKown said that he was perfectly willing to issume his share of the responsibility for this advanced movement, for which experience had shown ample evidence of need, and therefore moved that the Board approve the employment of Dr. Engelhardt for one week to make a survey of the needs of the Oklahoma City Schools as to present and future buildings and locations, and that he be paid the sum of $1,000.00 for. this service. On the basis that the Board of Education already had an investment in the planning program, and for this small additional amount might get more out of it. Mr. Turner seconded the motion; Upon roll call the vote was as follows: "Ayes," Mr. McKown, Mr. Turner and Mr. Richardson. "Noes," Mr. Edwards and Mr. Hisel. The motion.was declared to have carried.
Employment of Dr. N. Engelhardt for One ■ Week Approved

The following report of the Printing Committee was presented: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma June 30k 1944
City Board of Education 3rd and Walnut City Gentlemen:
Attached hereto Isa compilation of our findings covering printing items for the school system, with a break-down of cost for each item, and our recommendations for the distribution of the work. We have gone into this carefully, and believe the plants set out in this list will give you a satisfactoy product, All these firms were represented in the allotment last year. We have endeavored to place work in plants best suited for the particular items set out opposite their names, and also keeping in mind the relative size of the organization with reference to machines and personnel. Estimates are based on the Franklin Price List, which is the standard for this locality, less an approximate 10$. In some instances the reduction is beyond this mark, in others slightly less, owing to mechanical difficulties which the craft is facing at this time. No estimate is furnished covering EJS-62, Cumulative Record Envelopes, as this item is not obtainable at this time, owing to government limitations on Jute stocks. Mr. Wallace stated this envelope would not be urgently needed until next year, and it is our hope that the situation may ease before then. We wish to thank the board for their method of handling this matter, and especially thank Mr. George and Mr. Wallace for their cooperation in getting their requirements so clearly defined, which greatly aided us in our work. Very truly yours, PRINTING^CNDUSTRY OF OKLAHOMA CITY

Since the $1.35 fee per week last year, did not meet fifty percent of the cost of operation, it was recommended that a fee of $2.00 a week for school age children when no leals are served be charged, this rate having been checked with the representatives of the Federal Works Agency.

A group of Stand Watie patrons also was present and protested sending their children to Columbus School as required under recent boundary changes approved by the Board, on account of the greater distance and muddy roads in bad weather. After discussion with both groups Dr, Bruner was directed to check with principals of the schools affected and work out the best way possible.

Beginning October 1, 19^, in due course this district will issue warrants in approximately the following amount: -Approximately $J00,000.00 of warrants will be issued on or about October 1... Cash in the general and separate funds of the district to pay these warrants will be approximately $^4,621.22.

Letter from Mr. McKown Announcing Removal from Ward Three
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma September 5, 1944
Mr. J. Wiley Richardson, President Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Dear Mr. Richardson: At this time it is appropriate that I call attention to a situation affecting my membership on the Board of Education.
Before another meeting of this board is likely to be called, I will have completed moving my residence from 2645 NW 14 in Ward Three to 1527 NW 35 in Ward One. As I see it, removing from the ward from which I was elected probably disqualifies me for further service on this board.
Yours very truly

MEETING- OF OCTOBER 18, ICU (CONTINUED)
Mr. Hisel moved that the employment recommended be approved by the Board. The motion was reconded by Mr. Edward and upon roll call carried unanimously. The following letter addressed to Mr. J. Wiley Richardson, President of the Board of Education, from Mr. L. f). Callahan, President of the Taft Stadium Board, was presented.
"Dear Sir: "The members of the Taft Stadium Board of Control appreciate very much the opportunity which was afforded them recently to discuss matters pertaining to the Taft Stadium with the members of the School Board. In line with suggestions from your Board, we are making a careful study of the factors which would be Involved in determining if it would be feasible to develop Taft Stadium to its maximum capacity. We will report to your Board just as soon as the information has been assembled. "In the meantime we will be doing everything possible to solve t^e various problems involved in satisfactorily handling the large crowds w^ich are attending the games this year. Probably the two most troublesome difaculties have been the emptying of the stands rapidly and without unnecessary confusion, and the inconvenience caused to the public by the lack‘t5f sufficient parking space adjacent to the stadium. "We feel that the problem of emotying the stands would be greatly simplified If one or two bottlenecks which have developed Inside the ca-tes of the stadium could be removed, and if the area directly in front o^9 the main entrance to the stadium could be kept free of automobiles and used entirely for pedestrians. We are making arrangements to control the bottlenecks Inside the stadium, but because of the lack of narking space at the/present time, it would not be feasible to discontinue the use of this area for that purpose. We would like therefore to request the following: 7
"1. That the southwest ten acres of the forty acres ownecl by /the Oklahoma City School District, bordering the corner of May avenue and//P7^h Street, be dedicated to the Taft Stadium to be used as a. parking gr£a. "2. That the strip of land on school property, approximately fifteen feet wide, which runs along the west side of the Taft School grounds end the stadium grounds, be graveled from 23rd Street to 27th Street. Tn this connection, it should be pointed out that while an.all-weather walkway to the west entrance to Taft Stadium would expedite the handling of crowds at the football games, it would, also be a considerable convenience to the school children living west and north of Taft Junior Highschool. It would avoid the use of May Avenue with its heavy traffic by those children living to the north of the school, and it would provide ready access to the school grounds from the west side for all children coming from that direction. "Because the use of the ten acres which we are requesting for parking purposes would preclude the use of this area for a practice field for Central Highschool, we would suggest that a canvass of the various properties now owned by the School district be made for the purpose of locating, if possible, a suitable practice field for Central Highschool which would be closer and more convenient.
"$e believe that if these requests could be granted by the School Board, we will be able to accomplish much In our efforts to improve the ■’’acuities for the comfort and convenience of those attending the games at the stadium. n Very truly yours, TAFT STADIUM BOARD

The two requests set forth in the letter, (1) for the dedication of ten acres of the Northwest High School site to the stadium to be used as a parking area; and (2) that a strip of ground about 15 feet wide on the west side of the school grounds from 23rd to 27th street be graveled, were considered and after discussion, upon motion of Mr. Hfsei, seconded by Mr, Turner, were referred, to Mr. George for recommendation.

Report of Theft
Mr. H. F. Rusch, Director of Vocational and Industrial Education reported that on Monday, December 4, when the men at Capitol Hill Junior returned for work several tools were missing.

Tools missing are as follows: 1 set tap and dies Card #301 2 Crescent wrenches, 6" and 10" 2 pipe wrenches, S" and 14" 2 transformers 5 screwdrivers, 2 (6"), 2 (4") 18 assorted metal files 4 magnets, horseshoe IB assorted sizes of drill bits. These were taken from room 112. In one woodworking room, one pair of combination pliers is missing. One tool cabinet and one store room were broken into.
This report was. received and ordered filed Old School Bell to be Advertised for Sale
It was reported that Rev. 0. D. Jacobs, Pastor of the Mission connected with the Kelham Avenue Baptist Church, had requested that the old bell which belongs to Britton Elementary School now stored in the basement of Central High School and of no apparent value to the school system be given to the Mission. After discussion and expression of the opinion by members of the Board that the old bell might be of substantial value, Mr. George was instructed to advertise it for sale together with other obsolete equipment now in storage.

In the matter of the request to permit the Roosevelt Junior High School to spend $1,600 for the installation of Kentile, pre-waxed, greaseproof, asphalt tile, on the cafeteria, kitchen and storeroom floors, by the Oklahoma Acoustical and Specialties Company, it was reported that this was the only available bid at the time the request was presented. Mr. Conner had cont acted Denman Floors Company, who could not furnish the material, and Harbour-Longmire, who refused to bid. The job figured approximately 2$/ a sauare foot for first grade material which the Business Manager considered a reasonable price.

Information was submitted, that the street area in front of the Lafayette School is within the city limits which extend three blocks west of Walker Avenue and four blockssouth of U4th Street. Concerning the legality of the purchase'by the Board of'gravel for the improvement of the street, referred to the Attorney in the previous meeting, Mr. Lybrand stated that according to the facts as he understood them it was absolutely necessary that the street be made passable in order that the school., be accessible at all times to pupils and teachers, and under these circumstances the Board had a right to proceed as indicated. Mr. Hisel moved that the Board authorize the purchase of gravel at an estimated cost of $130.00 for the improvement of SW UL Street 2^0' in front of the Lafayette School. Mr. Richardson seconded .the motion which carried unanimously.unon roll call.
Purchase of Gravel for street improvemeni at Lafayet" Authorized
The following report by Mr. John E. Oney, Principal, concerning the graveling of the street along the east side of Sequoyah School between Eubanks and 3&th Street was submitted:
Report on Street at Sequoyah
'• For several years there has been the question of who is responsible for the street east of Sequoyah School building. The passage way, for it is not a street, is owned entirely by the Board of Education and is really a driveway for the school since the adjoining property owner would never give any part to be dedicated for a street as was done on the south half or from .Eubanks to 35th Street.
" The immediate question is the maintenance of the north half of this passage way, since it is almost impassable in wet weather. The City no longer uses the grader on it because the property owners of the (s,outh half at their own expense completely surfaced that part with gravel. They have joped that the Board of Education would do something similar with the north half since they asked no help on that part which has been really opened as a street.
■I
" The approach from 3^th Street is now so washed out that some of the companies have threatened to cease deliveries until something is done. There is no way during inclement weather for the school children to approach the building from any direction without wading through the mud.
” Various people have discussed this situation: - a Committee of property owners called on the former principal, Mr. C. E. Costley; and, the P.T.A. authorized a call on the Board of Education, which was delayed on account of the transfer of Principals. ” This is just an opinion, but it does seem that something should be done with the north half of the street since the Board of Education owns all the ground and the people of the south half have done what they have without assistance.
” A survey of the situation is invited and any favorable action will be more than appreciated. We do need help on this now if it can possibly be given.'

The Superintendent presented, for the Board's acceptance a gift from Dr.Linus Long, of the Smithsonian Institute, a book containing the Life and Favorite Portraits: of the Presidents of the United States, down through Theodore Roosevelt. The book, which is a large volume 20 by 23 by 2i inches with the President's seal in solid gold on the front cover, Dr. Bruner said was very valuable and would be kept under lock and key in the Curriculum Workshop. The gift was accepted by the Board and as a token of appreciation Dr. Bruner was granted permission to give Dr. Long, who was interested in Oklahoma history and culture in the Southwest, the following books from the Curriculum Workshop Library. History of Oklahoma by Grant Foreman The Formation of the State of Oklahoma by Roy Gittlnger Oklahoma, A Guide to the Sooner State, a ffipA product.
Gift of Life and Portraits of Presidents Accepted
Dr. Bruner reported that F. D. Moon, principal of Douglass High School, has asked Mr. Taylor, principal of Classen High School, if some of his teachers might visit Classen High School, and Mr. Taylor in turn had asked him, the Superintendent, if there was any reason why this should not be permitted as had been done in the past. The Superintendent said that he had no objection and there was none on the part of the Board.
Douglass Teachers to Visit Classen
Detailed suggestions for a neighborhood primary school as outlined by Dr. Frank Hart in his survey of the Oklahoma City Schools were presented and discussed at length. Dr. Bruner asked that architects be requested to submit rough sketches of such a building, incorporating the requirements and features suggested by Dr. Hart. Mr. Hisel moved that since there is at the pressent time only $19,825.00 in the Building Fund, the Board build a four room building and keep within the limit of the funds available, and that rough sketches be received from any architects wishing to submit them, The motion was seconded by .Mr. Richardson and carried.
Four Room Neighborhood Primary School Sketches Authorized
The Suoerintendent again called attention to school finances and the failure of the legislature, up to this time, to provide the needed revenue. Dr. Bruner said that unless some provision was made to supplement revenues in sight the schools were faced with the alternative of shortened term or double daily sessions.
School Finances Discussed
Dr. Bruner also presented the need for a statistician for consideration by the Board and not for action at the present time.
Need for Statistician Presented
Mr. Richardson moved the adoption of the following resolution:
Resolution Adopted Directing Supt.Bruner to Attend M eetings
RESOLUTION The Board of Education feels that it would be of great benefit to the school district to have the Superintendent of Schools participate with Superintendents of other cities of over 200,000 population in comparison of procedures on school policies and practices in Chicago April 19, 20.and 21, 19^5, ÂŽnd stop by St. Louis on return trip on April 23, and if needed on the 24th to consult with Superintendent Hickey and examine surplus property practices and procedures with veterans;
Therefore, Be It Sesolved that Dr. Bruner be directed to attend the above mentioned meetings and places if his work can so be arranged, and this being a special service for the Board, it is ordered that the actual expenses of Dr. Bruner be paid by the Board if these meetings are attended. The motion for the adoption of the resolution was seconded by Mr. Williams a nd upon roll call carried unanimously. Dishwasher Loaned to Boy Scouts
In the matter of the offer of the Boy Scout Committee for the old dishwasher from Roosevelt Junior High School, referred to the Business Manager at the previous meeting, Mr. George reported that the ceiling price had been fixed by the OPA at $55-00 if the sale is made from dealer to dealer, but for a sale to a privzte Individual there was no ceiling. The advisability of advertising the dishwasher for sale now, or holding it until next fall in case a need might develope in the school system was discussed, although Mr. George said that Mrs. Roesch, Cafeteria Coordinator, would not recommend • ltts use in any other school.
Mr. Hisel moved that the Board lend the dishwasher to the Boy Scouts for the vacation period for use in their Camp with the understanding that some one person be responsible for its return to a place to be designated *by the Board. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sinex and carried. Board to Vi sit School Site s
It was agreed that upon adjournment the Board members make an inspection of the Sequoyah School site and the proposed site for the family neighborhood school at 30th Street and Venice Boulevard, the Northeast corner of the Northwest High School site.

Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma May 7, 1945
Gentlemen:
In respeonse to the invitation sent to the Architects of Oklahoma City by your Board in connection with the preparation of sketches for a. neighborhood school building, we respectfully submit the following as the action of the Oklahoma City Architects at a meeting held May 7> 1945-
The adopted rules of the architectural profession do not permit us to pre- . pare and submit free sketches on any project. ’It goes without saying we are satisfied that you had no intention of asking us to‘do anything affecting our ethical practice. More than that we are deeply interested in what you are trying to accomplish for the advancing needs of education in this community. We suggest that you select one of the firms with whom you have had previous dealings and in whom you would have the utmost confidence and commission this firm to work out these plans under the direction of Professor Hart and such information as he may be able to furnish. The American Institute of Architects has a regular competition program which Architects are permitted to engage in but that program only applies to a project involving a much larger investment.
Assuring you of our deep appreciation of the interest you have shown insubmitting this matter to us and expressing our united desire to help you in any way within our power, we are,
AH/g
"Yours very truly, The Oklahoma Association of Architects (Signed^ Alfred D., Hill, Pres."

May 12, 1945.
"Dear Dr. Bruner:
"In line with the understanding agreed upon in your office in a conference with Mrs. Stillman, Miss Kohler, and Miss Gillette, I am making the following recommendations for the Children's Services, to become effective May 22,1945: "1. That care for children of school age be continued in the following centers: Emerson, Hawthorne, Horace Mann, Irving, Westwood, Willard, Wheeler - - Monday through Saturday from 5:0C a.m. to 7:00 p.m. "2.
That the school age center at Bath be closed, effective May 26. This recommednation is made for the following reasons: "a. The enrollment, at the Bath School Age Center has decreased to the point where we cannot justify employing two teachers. "b. The Park Recreation program will include activities on the Bath School playground during the summer, and our school age program cannot compete with one which is tuition free. "c. The physical set-up for the nursery school makes it impossible to include food service for the school-age children.
"3.
That a hot noon-day meal be served to all children in the schoolage centers and arrangements be made for breakfast for those who come before 7:45.
"4.
In order to compensate for meals and other services and the increase in the length of time children are cared for in the schoolage centers, that the fee be changed from $2.00-for before and after school care to $4.00 per week for full day care six days a week.

"6.
That the food service at the Emerson, Irving, and Wheeler nursery schools be expanded to provide meals for children in the school-age centers in these schools, and that an assistant cook be employed to assist the regular nursery school cook at a salary of $$0 per month.
