TRANSFERS OF PUPILS.
Petition From School District No.
14-Opinion BY Attorney
5 General.

A meeting of the county board OF
education was held on Friday in the
Office of County Superintendent Of
Education Eugene S. Werts to hear
the petition from the local trustees
of school district No. Il which IN
cfudes the Prosperity graded school,.
The petition asks that all transfers
from surrounding districts be annull-
ed.
:>The county board is composed OF
Eug. S. Werts, S. J. Derrick and +.
O. Counts.
c'The petitioners were represented
before the board by c. I. Wyche
and B. B. Schumpert.
The board heard the statement OF
the petitioners through their repre-
se1tatives but announced no decision
until they can get an opinion from
the attorney general on question OF
law and this point was referred to
him. and the decision of the board
on the matter will depend on the IN
terpretation of the law made by the
attorney general.
It seems that the law says that 10
cal boards may grant transfers to
adjoining districts and those districts
shall receive them. And that a good
nlanv of the districts adjacent to No.
ID have been granting transfers and it
is crowding the school at Prosperity.
Prosperity has fine school and is
verv much in need of that new build
ing and it is not wondered that those
districts adjacent should desire to
have their children attend this school
and it would be well to permit them
to do so if in so doing No. "A could
gether proper share ofthep public fund.
The bigger this school the better tor
the town. The county and the state
need more schools like the Prosperi-
tv Graded school and then have it ar
ranged SO that all the children in
reach could attend. The decision in
this case will affect other schools and

Without Jurisdiction.

Without Jurisdiction.
The county superintendent of ed
ucation has received the following
reply from Attorney General Gun
ter:
Columbia, S. 6.
November 70, 1904.
Eugene S. Werts, Esq,
Superintendent OF Education,
Newberry. S. c.
Dear Sir: Replying to the COM
munication from your county board
of education under date of Novem-
Dc7 18th, beg to advise that this Of
fee has recently expressed the opln-
ion that the action Of the boards OF
trustees in transferring students
from one district to another is re-
viewable BY the county board OF cd
ucation: but I am disposed to think
that under the facts as stated in your
communication your board is with
out jurisdiction now, for it seems
that the transfers have already been
made and accepted by the board OF
trustees. In order that the matter
shall fall within the province OF the
county board of education for re-
view if would be necessary that some
notice of protest be made at the
time, and it is too late after the
boards have acquiesced in the trans
fers.
Yours very truly,
Z. X. Gunter. Jr.,
Attorney General.
From this opinion the trustees
must make protest as soon as the
transfer is made.
The following is the law on the
subject Of transfers:
'Sec. 1914. When it shall so hap
pen that persons are so situated as
to be better accommodated at tHe
school of an adjoining school dis
trict, whether special or otherwise, the
board of trustees of the school dis
trict in which such persons reside
may transfer such persons for edu-
cation to the school district in which
such school is located; and the trus-
tees of the school district where the
school is located shall receive such
persons into the school as though
the; resided in the district"
There does not seem to be much
discretionary power in this section
on the part of the trustees of the dis
trict to which the pupils are trans
ferred.
