Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from School Laws of the State of Washington: With Appendix The first legislature of the State of Washington enacted what was designed to be a complete code of laws for the purpose of establishing and conducting a system of common schools. The principal act (Chap. XII of the Session Laws of 1889-90) went into effect March 27, 1890. The act relating to cities of 10,000 or more inhabitants went into effect June 26, 1890. Two acts were passed at that session authorizing school districts to issue bonds, the later one, approved March 28, 1890, being simply amendatory of the first section of the former act, which was approved and went into effect March 19, 1890. At its second session( 1891), the legislature passed an act amending twenty-eight different sections of the school law passed at the session of 1889-90, but these amendments affect only chapter twelve of the Laws of 1889-90 (commonly called the "Common School Law"), as will be seen by the last section of the amendatory act, which reads as follows: "Sec. 29. Nothing in this act, or of the act of which this is amendatory, shall operate or be construed to repeal any of the provisions of an act entitled 'An act to establish a system of common schools in cities of ten thousand or more inhabitants, and to provide for properly maintaining, governing and grading the same, approved March 26, 1890." At the third session of the legislature (1893), an act was passed amending six different sections of chapter xii of the Laws of 1889-90, and interpolating in said chapter sections 311/2 and 701/2. An act was passed also in relation to the formation of new school districts, one establishing a state normal school in Whatcom county, and one providing for the management and control of state normal schools. The original act (Chap. XII, Laws of 1889-90), as amended by the act of March 7, 1891 (Chap. CXXVII, Laws of 1891), and by the act of March 10, 1893 (Chap. CIX, Laws of 1893), together with the new acts before mentioned, will be found in this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
