McGill of the Dupuyer district has re-
ceiyed the following letter from Attor-
ney General Nolan:
Your favor OF the Goth ult. came duly
to hand. l have carefully looked
through the provisions of the code re-
speeding school matters. and from the
inspection made / arm clearly of the
opinion that you were clearly correct in
placing those names on the school list,
and that the order made by the truss
tees for the expunging of those names is
unwarranted and unauthorized. If this
listing is authorized by law, thea, of
course, you are at liberty to disregard
the directions of the trustees IN the mat
ter of the removal of those names. Such
direction given by them, if against the
law. is a nullity.
The above is in answer to letter from
the clerk of the school district, in which
1t was explained that he tthe clerk had
entered on the school list of this district

whose parents reside on the Biaekfeet
