To County Superintendents:
send you herewith, in sheet form, two
copies Of the laws passed by the Board Of
Education at its recen, session, one copy
of which you will deliver to the Clerk of
the Board Of Supervisors. The present
publication is only designed for general
information, and has no reference to the
taking effect Of the various acts published.
/ will publish and distribute them in pam
phlet form with as little delay as possible.
To prevent misrepresentation, wish to
call attention to Section IL, of IAN Act
defining the duties and regulating the
compensation Of County Superintendent
1t provides that their compensation shall
commehcs on the Grst day of January
1862 whereas it does not commence until
the first day of April 1862. When the
section in question was drafted, it was
supposed that the law could be made 10
take effect at the time first named; but
upon more minute examination, it was
ascertained that it could not be done in
consequence Of the provisions Of Section
Z, Of the first clause of Article lA, of the
Constitution, which require all rules and
regulations made by the Board to be pub
lished aud distributed to the several couu-
ties, townships and school districts, be-
fore they take effect.
The duties aud compensation of all
School Officers will, therefore, be regulat-
ed by the laws now in force, until the first
day Of April 1862, at which time the laws
passed at the late session of the Board
will take effect. The sub district, and
district elections, and meetings in March
next, will be conducted precisely as here
:oiore.' The Board OF Directors will hold
their regular meetings Oh the Second
Monday in April aud September OF each
year. instead of the h.st Saturday after
the first Monday in Apsi! and October, as
heretofore
The various newspapers in the State
will confer special favor on School Oh.
