other or further expense on account

build the same if destroyed. The
county shall be at no expense on ac-

The fewer in numbers in such dis
trict."
The inhibition placed upon the
board of county commissioners in the
foregoing provision of section g. is
entirely subject to the fact, which
must be settled by the board of coun-
ty commissioners, as TO whether or
not the school district has school
house or such a building as win fulfill
the requirement of the law enjoining
upon the board of county commission
ers to build or provide a school house
in particular district. Il seems to
me that that is question OF fact that
must be left and in fact the law leav-
es it. entirely in the hands OF the
board OF county commissioners. The
power and duty to settle that ques-
.tion has been plainly delegated to
them. It might be not out of place
for me to add that ! do not believe
that it was the intention of the legis-
lature to give the board Of county
commissioner, tho absolute right to
designate ar led OF building or
shack or p etcnse 9. building for
school house i evidently was the
intention OF tie law maker that the
provide suitable buildings for school
board of county commissioners should
purposes and until that has been done
] do not believe that the county has
been relieved OF the obligation OF
building a school house.
The next proposition submitted by
Prof Calvert IS as follows
"A district erects a building for sep
arate school, do not weatherboard or
cell inside or paint, iuat a plain, cold
open structure. not fitted for school,
Is not the county liable for the finish
ing OF this house in a manner as
complete as any separate school
house that they might build entirely
new?"
That question Is similar to the first
and very largely answered under the
first proposition. My opinion is u
suchan unfinished and incomplete
buildying as the one referred to. does
not fulGi the requirements of the law
and thar tie boar dof county commits
sioners would be required to complete
a building and make it suitable FOR
school purposes. which evidently has
not been done in the case mentioned.
The third proposition is:
The city OF Guthrie has a school
for colored children. Il is necessary,
in order 10 furnish suitable accom-
modations Tor these children, to erect
another building Of At least 4 TO 6
roms, in order to give these children
accommodations equal to the white
children. Win the county be liable
for the erection Of this building even
II a building is already furnished
which is not large enoughg"
Il would hardly be necessary to call
Prof calverts attention to the fact
that these separate school provisions
apply equally with fun force and TO
the same effect, 70 both white and col
orsd children, and that the school des-
ignated as the separate school, may
be white school or a colored school
and that in either event, without ref
