PREFACE Within recent years the people of Pennsylvania have manifested a deep interest in the cause of education, and this work is presented with the hope that it may be of value to those who may desire more knowledge upon the subject. As the common school law of Pennsylvania is purely statutory, it has been the plan of the author to give the Acts of Assembly bearing on a given subject, following said acts by the decision of the courts relating to them. It is with much hesitancy that this work is submitted to the public, but if it serves as an aid to those investigating the subject, the author will feel amply justified in his labors. The writer acknowledges his indebtedness to Arthur L. Reeser, LL. B., for his valuable assistance. Carlisle, Pa., September 1, 1906. CHESTER C. BASHORE.
