had bolted the door after he had
entered the room. A few min.

LAW OF SCHOOL BOARDS
Clark Differs with Ruling of Former
Attorney General Pyle

Pierre, S. D., April 16.-The
citation of the old opinion o. At
torney General Pyle by Attorney
General Clark in regard to the
right of present school boards
to contract for teachers for the
next school year has brough.
him bundle of requests for an
opinion as to his holding on the
matter under the present condi
tions in South Dakota, where
most of the school boards are cut
off entirely in their makeup by
the workings of the new educa-
tional law. Attorney General
Clark has been looking into the
matter since his citation of the
Pyle opinion, and now holds that
he will be compelled to differ
with his predecessor in that re-
gard. Mr.. Clark holds in effect
that a school board is a continu.
ing body, even if from any cause
the membership Of the board is
charged IN it's entirety at one
time; that, as such continuing
body, it can contract for a teach
ing force for a year in which
none of the old mem bership may
remain as a part of the board.
In other words, that the individ-
uality of the membership does
not make the board; it is fixed
legal organization and as such it's
individual makeup does not af-
feet it's official existence; that
most of the authorities have held
that even in case where board
has employed q teacher to pre-
vent a new membership follow
ing from taking such action, if
the teacher was an innocent par
ty in the transaction, the con-
tract can be enforced
