Richards pretends to be a lawyer,

should be honest enough to admit
that the Republican legislature Of
1881 passed the law requiring the
county superintendent to visit each
school, which is as follows:
ut shall be the duty of the county
superintendent Of public instruction
to visit each school in his county al
least once each term Of six months
This provision is part Of para

1850 and has been the law since
1881.
