I have the honor to submit herewith the result of my labors.\\nThe work in hand being a compilation and not a revision of the school\\nlaws, the exact language of the statutes has been preserved.\\nThe school laws were revised and codified by the Legislatiu-e of 1888;\\nconsequently the act of that year has been taken as a basis for this compila-\\ntion, and the several amendatory acts passed by subsequent Legislatures\\nhave been applied thereto. Sections in addition to existing laws have been\\ndistributed throughout the appropriate chapters of the work.\\nProper references have been made below each section, so tliat the\\naccuracy of the compilation can be readily tested by reference to the orig-\\ninal enactments. Suggestions thrown into the body of the comj)ilation have\\nbeen enclosed in brackets to distinguish them from the language of the\\nstatutes.\\nPart I. contains the general provisions of the school law. AVith the ex-\\nception of Chapter V. and a few sections of Chapter IX., it contains the law\\nboth for schools under the town system and for those exempted from the\\nprovisions of the town system act. Part II. contains the parts of the old\\nschool law continued in force for school districts not abolished by No. 20,\\nActs of 1892. In Part III. wiU be found several topics of interest and value\\nto school officers and the public generally.\\nThe sections in the several chapters are numbered consecutively for\\nconvenience of reference.\\nIt has been my endeavor to sunplify the work and thereby to render\\nthe problem of construing the school laws lessi difficult for school officers.\\nWILLIAM H.
