QUESTION FOR THE COURT.
Attorney General Will Not Pass on
Constitutionality of School Law.

Attorney General Walser has received
several letters from members Of county
boards of education from different coun-
ties in the State asking him to pass
upon the constitutionality of the recent
act of the Legislature abolishing the
county boards of education, and estab-
fishing county boards of directors.
The Attorney General does not think
that it is in the province of his office to
pass upon the constitutionality of this
law. or other laws passed by the Leg
islature. The constitutionality of law
is a matter for the courts to decide.
The Attorney General will confne his
opinions to constituting the law as he be-
lieves it should be administered, and
not to its validity. His opinion in this
respect is set forth in the following letter:
Raleigh, n. c., March 16, 1899.
Mr.. J. A. Hoyle, Chairman Board of
Education, Catawba county, \. c.:
Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of
the 18th instant, requesting my opinion
upon the constitutionality of section IA
of the school law passed By the
General Assembly at its recent
session, / will say that | do not think
under the Code, Section 1908, prescrib-
ing the duties of the Attorney General,
| could properly pass upon the validity
of this law. l think l am restricted to
the face of the statute. In recent case
the Supreme court said: Until the sub
sequent statute was declared TO be uncon-
stitutional by competent authority, the
Defendants, (who were public officers)
under every idea of justice and under our
theory of government had a right to
presume that the law making power had
acted within the bounds of the Consti-
tuition. and their highest duty was to
obey
State VS.. Goodwin, 123 \. c. GOT.
Whether this important legislation is Or
is not constitutional, is a grave judicial
question to be determined by the courts
and not by the Attorney General.

81 opinion, Attorney General U. 5.
6,557 and 800.
This department will give its opinion
only upon questions of law actually
arising and pending in the administra-
ton of some department of the State
government, and such question of law
must be administrative and not judicial.
This view of the law is held to be
correct by the Law Department of the
United States Government.
