jackson, April 14.-At it's sitting
last evening the supreme court de-
cided that the legislature has no right
to create a -perpetuating school
borad, or to designate certain persons
to SERVE as school trustees for life
period. The point was brought up in
quo warranto proceeding against
the school board Of the town of Hazel
hurst In 1888 the legislature
granted a special charter to the Hazel
hurst high school, and named thirty
two citizens of that town as trustees,
with the power to fill vacancies. The
original number has since dwindled
down to fifteen, and this body has
placed the governing of the schools in
the hands of an executive committee
of seven. In rendering the decision
Of the court Chief Justice Whitfield
said that 1t is violative of article g.,
section l, constitution of 1859, and
violative of home rule rights and
local self-government.
