SCHOOL OFFICERS.
Circular From County Superintendent
w. Il. Benedict in Regard to
School Xenr.

Circular From County Superintendent
school Year.
The following circular letter has been
issued to the clerks of the several school
districts throughout the county:
DEAR SIR: The question has arisen to
whether 1t is necessary to call special
meeting of the voters of the district to de-
termine upon summer school for the year
1884, is cases where at the annual meet
ing in 1888 provisions were not made for
the fifteen months Of that school year.
The school law enacted at the last session
ofthe legislature gives no rule for the de-
termination of the length of term or the
number of months in a school year, that
is applicable to this county, consequently
as stipulated in said act the enactments of
previous sessions govern where not repeal
ed.
Section thirty eight, chapter fourteen
of laws OF lS79 reads as follows
''The qualified voters at each annual meeting, or
at any special meeting duly called, may determine
the length of time school shall be taught in their
district for the ensuing year, So
but il such matters shall not be determined Mt the
annual or special meeting, it shall he the duty Of
the district board to determine the same"
We think under this section if the dis
trct at the annual meeting failed to pro-
vide school for the fifteen months in this
year this district board would be justified
in employing teachers for the summer,
though perhaps the better and safer plan
would be to call special meeting Of the
district to vote upon the matter.
Blanks for reports will be sent out in
time for the annual meeting, which will be
held on the last Tuesday Of June.
Let me urge you to get such matters Of
your district into such condition that re-
ports can be made out and sent in prompt
", which must be done at once. [ only
have two months from the time of the an
nual meeting to the time when my repor.
must be in the hands of tho territorial su-
perintendent, and mine cannot be made
out until the reports from the several dis
tricts are received.
If any officers of your district have been
appointed during the year, elections must
be held at the annual meeting to ill the
unexpired term. Please bear this in mind
and arrange accordingly.
Closing, [ remain your obcdiant SER
want. w. E. BENEDICT,
County Superintendent.
