RAID ON STATES
SCHOOLS MAY GO
TO. HIGH COURT
Probable That Supreme Tribunal
/, Will Be Asked to Define
Powers of Board
QUESTION OF AUTHORITY
Old Educational Statute DEGREES
That State Superintendent
Fixes Studies
QUESTION OF AUTHORITY

The supreme court of North Dakota
probably will be asked to determine
whether under the provisions of the
educational act of the sixteenth as
sembly the state board of administra-
ton has power to take from Miss Min
ME j. Nelson, state superintendent OF
public instruction, the fixing of cours-
es of study for the several types OF
common schools in this state.
This duty is conferred on the state
superintendent of public instruction by
an act which has been on the statute
books for years. The state superin-
tendent of public. instruction, has al
ways fixed the courses of study and
had general supervision of the pub
lie schools. The new board Of admin
istration last week in addition to re-
moving the certification of teachers
and the preparation of examinations
for high school and eighth grade pu-
pills from the office of the state su-
perintendent of public instruction de-
creed that the educational commits
sion named by this board should take
over the fixing of courses of study.
Miss Nelson to Fight. ri
Miss Minnie j. Nelson, who won
her election to the office she now
holds at the polls last fall in one OF
the -bitterest fights which ever has
been waged in North Dakota, is not
now prepared to give up all of her
powers and prerogatives without max
ing fight. Section 8 of the board of
administration act clearly states that
this board is to have supervision over
the work of the state superintendent
of public instruction only insofar as
such authrity was exercised by any or
all of the boards which this commits
sion succeeds. These bodies are the
board Of education, all of which passed
ut Of existence when the board of ad'
ministration came into being. None of
these commissions had any connection
with the fixing of courses of study for
the public schools. ...
1t is reported today that the supreme
court will be asked to construe the
obard of administration act as to its
effect on the office of state superin-
tendent OF public instruction.
Moving Day.
Today was moving day in the state
superintendent of public instruction
e. P. Grain, newly appointed certifi'
cate clerk, and furnished an office in

vaults.

tired from the office of state superin'
tendent last fall by majority of g..

Grain and is conducting teachers ex
