Excerpt from School Laws of Iowa: From the Code of 1897 as Amended by the Twenty-Seventh, Twenty-Eighth, and Twenty-Ninth General Assemblies, With Notes, Forms and Decisions, for the Use and Government of School Officers and Directors; Edition of 1902 The explanatory notes printed in connection with the law governing school corporations have been carefully revised and in some instances extended to include a larger number of rulings. These notes are based upon decisions of the supreme court, opinions of the attorney-general, and the decisions or opinions of the superintendent of public instruction. Since the value of the notes may be considered to depend mainly upon the source from which the same originated, references have, so far as seemed necessary, been given. It is urged that the general authorities cited be consulted where more extended information is sought. Reports of the supreme court are found in every county, and may be consulted at the court house upon application to the clerk of the district court. By school law decisions is meant the decisions rendered by the superintendent of public instruction in appeal cases. Cases involving the chief principles are contained in the pres ent volume. A careful reading of the same is earnestly urged. In arrangement we have placed first those sections of the law which relate more particularly to the administration of the common schools, and second that part of the constitution which relates to education in general and the law governing the three educational institutions, and the establishing of county high schools.
