PUBLIC OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
1858. State ex rel, Abram p. Andrews VS..
Leroy D. Weber. LaPorte G. G. Affirmed.
Howk, c. 1.-THE superintendent of the public
schools of LaPorte, with the sanction of the
trustees of the school city, made rule for the
government of the pupils of the high school IN
the graded schools of such city requiring that
each of the pupils should at stated intervals en-
ploy certain period of time in the study and
practice of music, and should provide himself
with prescribed book for that purpose The
REALTORS son was one of the pupils OF such high
school, and at the instigation and by the direc
ton of his father dlsobeyed such rule and re
fused to employ any time in the study and prac-
tice Of music and to get the required book. For
this he suspended This action is brought
by the father to compel by mandate the read
mission of his son. This rule so far as is shown
by REALTORS averments was not an invalid and
unreasonable exercise of the discretionary power
conferred by law upon the governing authorities
of the school corporation. T. The only cause
assigned by the reator for requiring his son to
disobey the rule was that he did not believe that
it was for the best interests of his son, and did
not wish him to do so. The arbitrary wishes of
the relator must yield to the governing au-
thorities and their reasonable rules.

1858. Laban M. Rice vs.. City of Evansville
Vanderburg G. G. Affirmed Elliott J.-If the
mad - ICY in the size of sewer is owing to the
omission to exercise ordinary skill and care in
planning and performing the work, the munich
pal corporation is liable, but il the inadequacy
of this is attributable to mere error of judg
ment there is no liability e. Where there is
a general verdict against the appellant neither
presumption nor intendment in his favor can be
made for the purpose of awarding him a judg-
ment. 81 The court canEot as matter OF law
declare that the city was guilty of neeh-
gence when the general verdict and some of the
answers of the jury were adverse to the plant
if. d. Ravines through which water occa-
sionally flows not natural water-courses
within the meaning of the law.

Affirmed Nlblack 1.-THE act of March 8, 1883,
concerning the failure of public officers to ac-
count for money TO their successors and provd-
ing penalties, was repealed by Section 1913
Revised Statutes. (2I Where a county treas
urer failed to pay over money to his successor
the statute of limitations begins to run from the
the tire when he failed to pay it over and subse
quent demands and refusals would lot take an
Indictment out of it's operation.

Kamp ct al Vanderburg G. c. Affirmed.
Mitchell. 1.-THE record does not show which
paragraph of the answer the demurrer relates
to. and the averment that the court erred in
overruling the demurrer presents question.
(2) 1t afirmatively appears that all the evil
dence is not in the record, and the question as to
it's sufficiency can not be decided.
