show the physical condition of every man

AGA!NS? INCIDENTAL CHARGES.
A Ruling That Will Affect Tlany Of
the Schools

Assistant Attorney General Guntzr
has handed the State superintendent of
education an opinion OF far-reachln@
importance. Under this opinion the law
Of the State forbids school districts 20
charge pupils incidental fees gong 10
make up the tuition fees which they
cannot legally charge. 1t Will erect
many a public school in the STATE
whose resources have thus been most
materially added to from time to tine.
This opinion has no bearing upon
the decision OF the supreme court rem
dered some time ago. in the Rock HI!
case. which allowed the charging CT
such fees in schools. In that case the
schools were chartered. and the char
ter gave the right. to charge supple
mental and incidental fees.
Mr.. Gunter's opinion reads as fol~
lows:
Dear Sir: Your request to be all
vised upon the following question:
Can a board Of trustees OF a lree
school charge an incidental fee or I'M
pose any other kind Of cost as a pre-
requisite to entrance of scholars to the
public schoolS?'
am Of the opinion that the boards
can impose no such charges. The Doaru
of trustees being of statutory con
struction can have no authority except
such as granted by statute. Boards OF
trustees are created under general
school law. This law provides for the
complete free school scheme OF the
State, and is entitled 'an act to declare
tbe free school law of the State, ao-
proyed March 8. 1896. The title as we
as the body Of the act denotes the III
tention OF the general assembly TO give
the people free school. Not only lrIe
in name but free in fact.
After a careful persuasal or every
section of the act | have been unao'e
70 find any authority. either direct OF
nv Implication. to impose the Zee re
ferred to- 1t is true that the board
Of trustees are charged with the man
agement of the free schools OF the
respective districts, and are gwen au-
thority to act 80 as best 10 prohlo'e
the educational interests OF their dls-
trict." But this does not apply 10 lhe
financial resources of district. Ihat
feature is left to the tax collecting anu
tax disbursing machinery. The trus-
tees are given authority to distribute
and expend the school funds OF a diS-
trict for the best interest OF the dis-
tr,ct There can, therefore, be no eX-
cuse to attempt to raise funds for any
incidental purpose by an incidental lee
