On motion of Mrs. Stockman, the reorganization of the Home Economics Division as recommended in the following letter from Dean Sweeny, was approved: June 3, 1921* State Board of Agriculture, Michigan Agricultural College, East Lansing; Michigan. Gentlemen:- After conference with President Kedzie and Secretary Brown, as Dean of the Home Economics Division, I wish to present to the State Board of Agri culture the following recommendations for some desirable reorganization in the Division: 1. That the departments within the Home Economics Division of Household; Art and Household Science, be abolished* Firstly, because these departments no il :¾¾ - &!9 •m 504 Reorganiza tion of Home Econ Division* longer represent either a logical, scientific or natural division of the dif ferent lines of work offered. Secondly, because they seriously hamper the efficiency of the administration of the affairs of the division, and lead to needless expenditure in labor and equipment. Thirdly, they limit the normal growth and development of the resident teaching and place unnatural distinction between lines of work very closely correlated. .2. That the positions of heads of Household Art and Household Science be discontinued. 3. That all professors, associate and assistant professors and in structors be directly responsible to the Dean of the Division for all duties connected with their resident teaching work. ^-. All professors, associate professors, assistant professors and instructors shall be designated as Professor of Home Economics, Associate Professor of Home Economics, Assistant' Professor of Home Economics and In structor in Home Economics. 5. That there be authorized the appointment of an assistant to dean, with such rank and qualification as may be deemed advisable. A part of said person1s time to be devoted to resident teaching and a large portion to assisting in the administering the affiars of the division. " ' 6. That Club' C be placed under the management of the Home Economics Division September1, 1921, that it be put in charge of a member of the teaching staff of the division, and that it be run as a club and used as a laboratory for instruction in Institutional Management; that the professor in charge be directly responsible for buying supplies, hiring of labor, and the conduct of all business connected with the Club and shall be responsible to the Dean of the Division and to the Secretary of the College for all receipts and ex penditures. 7» That the Dean be directed to make such adjustments in personnel of the faculty as will most efficiently fit into the reorganization of the work as recommended. Yours respectfully, (Signed) Mary E. Sweeny, Dean of Home Economics. On motion of Mrs. Stockman, the organization of the Teacher Training Department as recommended in the following letter from Prof. French, was approved: President F. S. Kedzie, College. My dear President: June 6, I92I. Organiza tion of Teacher Training Division * I have been considering the organization of the Teacher Training Department and I have reached this conclusion - that we should give Dean Mary E. Sweeny the title of Dean of Home Economics and Supervisor of Home Economics Teacher Training. I suggest that my own title shall be changed to Professor of Education and Director of Teacher Training. As I understand it, Miss Frazer is Associate Professor of Home Economics Education and Miss Josephine Hart, Assistant Prof essor of Home Economics Education. On the agricultural side, Mr. Grover is Associate Professor of Agricultural Education and Mr. Walpole will be Assistant Professor of Agricultural Education. Such an arrangement as I have suggested above, seems to me will straighten matters out, and give to Dean Sweeny the position and authority she should have in connection with the natter of teacher training. My relation to the Home Economics Practice Teaching is general over sight as Director, but it should be specifically handled by the Department of Home Economics. State Board of Agriculture take action accordingly. If this meets with your approval, I should be glad to have the Very respectfully, (Signed) W. H. French, Director.
