Editors Jlerald: "Common Secso," in reply tc ''School Tritfe" in your iiwie of today, to-day, states that-thrro are no such officers ns territorial and county superintendents of district schools in this territory and cannot be until after the general election in August next; and his deduction from this statement is that the action of the text book convention is without authority and void. He states further that when the acts of the territorial and eouuty superintendents of district schools shall be legally performed, they will be binding on "School Trustee," etc. If the hypothesis of the above statement be untrue, ail deductions from it must litewma be untrue. In Sec. 1 of an act defining the meaning of the term common schools, etc., approved February 21st, 1808, we hud "that all schools organized by the direction of the board of trustees in the respective school districts of this territory, shall be known, in law, by iho name and title of common schools." IuSec. 10 ot our present school law, we find that "all schools organizi'd under the direction of ttie tnutees in ihe respective school districts dis-tricts ol this territory, thall he known, iu law, by the name and title of district schools." From this comparison it is apparent that the . same schools that were known, under the old law, by the name of common schools, arw under the new law denominated district dis-trict schools. All the acts pertaining to common Bchools, and iu relation to the duties of territorial and county superintendents of common schools, were repealsd by our last legislature. As there are now no schools in the territory known by the name of common com-mon schools, there can be no officers of com men Bchools. The functions of tbe territorial and county superintendents superin-tendents of district schools are plainly laid down in the school law, and the presoi school officers are required to perform these functions. There is an appropriation to the district achcolB lor the year 1876, to be drawn on the orders of the territorial superintendent of district schools. If there is no such officer the district schools cannot secure this"- appropriation. The pupils of the normal department that were selected by the territorial superintendent, and who have been attending llmt institution for the past six months, according to "Common Sense," must not be selected until after the election in August, 1S77. In the appropriation bill, the salary for the territorial superintendent of district school is providfd for, to be drawn half in 1S7G and half iu 1877. This salary is paid for performing the duties of territorial superintendent of district schools. It is thus shown that both the hypothesis and deductions deduc-tions of "Commuu Sense" are incorrect. incor-rect. It is beyond doubt that the convention acted under the law, and that the people are both morally and legally hound to introduce the books adopted. Very reipectfully, Justice. |
