School Laws Of Illinois As Amended February 16 1865 With Official And Judicial Decisions In Relation To Common Schools PDF Download

Excerpt from School Laws and Common School Decisions of the State of Illinois The object of this volume is to furnish to those in any way concerned with our system of common schools, in convenient form and small compass, information and instruction necessary to the proper discharge of their duties. That information being embodied in the school laws of the State and in the exposition and application of those laws by the Department of Public Instruction, and by the Courts, the book contains: I. The Common School Laws of the State, with all the latest amendments. II. A careful Analysis and Explanation of each section of the Amendatory Acts of February 16, 1865, and February 28, 1867. III. The official Decisions and Instructions of the State Superintendent, and the Decisions of the Supreme Court, in relation to common schools. The official decisions are confirmed by copious references to and citations of judicial authorities. To this end the Supreme Court Reports of Illinois and of many other States have been carefully and exhaustively searched. It is hoped that this feature of the work will render it of some value to members of the bar and others, in the management of cases arising under the school laws of the State. The decisions embrace a wide range and great variety of subjects. It is believed that questions can hardly arise under our present school laws upon which some light, if not a definite answer, will not be found in this volume. Forms of all School Instruments are added for the convenience of school officers. Both the laws and decisions are very copiously indexed, and a hundred pages have been added to the book. The aim throughout has been to render the work a plain, practical and reliable common-school manual. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
