find that it has been the practice in
this Office to refer all inquiries relat-
ing to the school law to the County
superintendent. except in case of APP
peal from their decision taken il reg
ular form. This rule is in my opinion
proper and right for two reasons: l.
Any other course would show a lack
OF official courtesy to the County
Superintendent: 2. 1t would hardly
be proper to give an opinion before
hand concerning case which may
afterWard be referred to this oflice-pn
appeal. In all appeals from County
superintendent decisions the follow
ing rule should be observed: /. Notify
the County Superintendent that such
appeal is to be taken. 2. Forward
certified statements to this office con-
corning all the facts in the case, and
when certified statements as above are
received at this Office from the appel
liant and from the County Superinten-
dent such ease will always be given
prompt attention. Yours respectfully,
