Quo Warranto.
1065. SCHOOLS — Members of a county board begin their terms from time they take oath, if on third Saturday of January, which may be taken at any time during that day.

DAY, J.
Members of a county board of education duly elected for the term of four years from the third Saturday in January of a given year begin their terms from the time they také the oath of office. If they do so any time during said day it is a sufficient compliance with Section 4231, General Code, and said office does not become vacant even though a majority of the board had met and organized pursuant to Section 4732 and 4733, General Code, and considered certain business before said new m'embers have qualified.
Writ refused.
