298 Financial Matters

such allowances within the budget fixed by the Fiscal Conference,.
seeing to’ it that the funds are used for “instruction in physical

education.” Allowances for equipment in this department are. =

authorized with other equipment under “repair and replacement

_ orders.” This is working out very well.

17. As to physical examinations at our schools (Proceedings,

’ 1941, p. 346), the Board, after due investigation and much corre-

spondence with the various colleges, adopted a detailed program -
cand a health questionnaire, which are being tried out at the schools.

Various Seminaries and Colleges
19, Much of the time at our meetings was spent in considering

‘the routine requirements of the individual schools, as presented by

“our Committee on Colleges, which was at all times in communica-

‘the cordial relations between the Board and these local boards, who
are to be highly commended for the great amount of time and

23. Concordia College, Fort Wayne. Minor matters, such as
‘tuck pointing of the walls of the gymnasium, replacement of side-

taken care of under summer repairs. (Proceedings, 1941, p. 61f.)
