Chapter 23: Public Schools, School Houses, Teachers, Etc

The constitution and general school law of this state, under the provisions of which the public schools have been created and conducted, was for some 3^ears difficult for the masses to understand and comprehend, but they have gradually become informed and accustomed to the requirements thereof, and but little trouble or difficulty is now encountered in the practical operation and requirements of the laws governing schools. The general school law is quite effective and satisfactory, and under its provisions good schools and school houses have been provided and maintained throughout Saline county and the state generally.
