DECISION FAvORS
SCHOOL BOARD

Judge N. III. Mcclure rendered de-
cision Tuesday in the case of David
Dutt vs.. The Board Of Education Of
Wadsworth township school district.
The suit was prosecuted by Dutt for
himself and other taxpayers Of Wads-
worth township school district against
the Board of Education, praying for
an injunction to restrain defendant
from the alleged illegal expenditure
Of public money; an illegal change Of
the school system of W&dsworth town
ship and the illegal establishment Of
d centralized school, without the sub
mission Of the question Of centraliza-
tion to q vote Of the qualified electors
Of said township school district.
The court decided adversely to the
plaintiff, explaining in a very cogent
and able way the law governing the
rights Of the Board Of Education in
matters such as were at issue, and
! dismissed the suit.
This decision will doubtless have
considerable influence on school af-
fairs in Medina county and, in fact, in
all parts Of Ohio, as it afirms The
right Of boards Of education to close
any or all schools Of their district
even in the face of an adverse vote
on Capitalization.
tits the evident intention of the law
to put the control Of the public schools
up to the board Of education, just as
law making is the duty of the legisla-
ture. In fact. it seems to be the be-
lief Of Ohio solons that education is
something which requires that some
one shall have authority to make de-
cisions IN times Of necessity.
