HOW CHANGE
WILL AFFECT
THE SCHOOLS
ICniiiliitled fiom I'.iae I
pie.uimed to opointe, was unionstlHt
HoiiiiI, liiasniiU'h as It piovMrd for n
school dlstilct In cities of tho second
dnss, and such legislation, under the
decision In the Kennedy cne, was un
constitutional, It being an attempt to
clnsslry school dlstllcts nnd legislate
specially for different classes.
Rut to the suipilse of the mnjoilty
nf In wye if, tliu Supremo cotut sits
tallied tho Act of 1871 and continued
the boaid of twenty-one In olllco. Mr.
Ruins was one of the nttoini'.v.s who
was engaged In the assault on the 1VTI
nrt and, It Is lensnnnble to piesuine. Is
thoiotiglity neciualntod with the matter
In all Us inmlllcatlous, Mr. Hums says
ho Is satisfied that If the constitution
ality of the Act of ISO"., the Kennedy
act. Is again hi ought up, the Supiomo
couit will into that It Is good law, nnd
that an en or was committed when It
was declared Invalid.
One Way Out.
This suggests ono way the Scianton
school dlstilct may solve tho dltllctiltv
Hint confronts It. Another way Is that
championed by Mr. Reedy, the boaid's
rolleltor. lie holds that In the absence
ol any code of laws for school dlstilds
In second-class cities, the Scianton
school dlstilct will be entitled to totttln
her piesent laws, even though thev tlo
apply lo school dlstllcts In cities of the
llilitl class. Ills aifiiiinent Is that tho
teiiu "school dlstllcts In cities of '.he
llilitl class" Is a googiaphlcul i.ithei
than a legislative distinction, mid that
al (hole It? no piovlslon mode im
"school dlstllcts in cities of the second
class," and none can be nude, the
Scianton school dlstflct must needs
keep what laws It bus, at least until
such time as other laws aie passed to
supplant them, ns would eventuate in
the case of the Kennedy act being de
clined valid by the Supienie mint le
vel sing Itself.
If nolthei of these Iews sue ac
quiesced in by the Supienie couit
Sd anion's school district would natur
ally have lo tail back on lho genci.it
Act of 1S11, as Allegheny did, and when
this thing comes to pass, If It should,
Scianton can look out for bother.
The Act of 1S"4 ptovliles for a separ
ate school boaid in each wind and a
cpnti.il hnaitl composed of all the mem
be; s of ull the ward boaids. This would
give Scianton a school boaid of ISO
nienilieis. Allegheny has &K winds less
lliau Scianton, but at that It Is ioiii
pldlnlng gtleiously of Hie blilkiness of
lis cenlial boaid. The vvoik Is done
mainly by committees of fifteen, but all
their transactions aie under tho dliec
t Urn and subject to the uppioval ol the
whole boaid.
