in the Acts of the Legislature OF
1893, page 81, chapter 26, sec. 45
except Waggener, Mason City In

the law, for the Boards of education
of these districts have all been in
formed on that point. 1t is only a
bull-headed determination to set
the law at defiance. If these dis
tricts do not publish their state,

grand jury is in duty bound to indict
every Board of Education for a
violation of the law, and the Prose-
cutting Attorney will see to it that
proper witnesses are be sent before
the grand jury 10 make the indiet,
ments. If men will not obey the
law teach them to do it by punish
ing them.
