Excerpt from Iowa School Laws Make perfect the law, for wrongs will be done under the best laws, and greater ones under those not clearly understood. Teachers and School Officers have felt the necessity for a better knowledge of the Law, and lawyers have held themselves aloof from any connection with suits involving questions of School Law. Since, to simplify the Law is not possible, it only remains to explain those parts that are shrouded in doubt. This Book contains a great deal of matter that has never before appeared in print, having been locked in the archives of the State Departments. This matter covers the entire range of School Law, being the gist of the interpretations and explanations of judicial officers, who have had to do with the deciding of test cases. In the selection and arrangement of the matter herein contained, care has been taken to present only such as clearly tends to simplify the Law. The Department Notes have not the force of law. yet serve as a safe guide The Supreme Court decisions and the Attorney General's opinions, being the interpretations of law, have nearly the force of the law itself. The Appendix affords a concise statement of the force of law in general, on the most important points, and will be found of great value. The Index will be found a means of ready reference. The Notes are not indexed as they can be referred to by section, in connection with the body of the law. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
