IMPORTANT STATE LAWS RELATING TO' EDUCATION

INTRODUCTION

f

,,.4

In a publication of. the Bureau of Education, Bulletin, 1915, No.

47, Digest of Siate Laws Relating to Puplic. Education, an effort was

v.

made to ,bring together and summarize all State school laws of a

general natur? which were, in force on

issuaiice of this earlier digest three

January 1, 1915. Since the

supplementary publications

hav.? been issued at

Laws Mating to

intervals as Educatimi,

follows: Bulletin, 1918, No. 23, State

Enacted in .1915; 1916, and 1b17;

Bulletin, 1920, No. 30, . State Laws Relatifig to Education, Enacted

in 1918 and 1919rand Bulletin, 192, No. 20, State Laws Relating

to Education, EActed in 1920 and 1921. A fourth supplement is 411.

presented there, but in a form considerably more abridged.,

The legislation summarized in this compilation was ?nacted in the

two-year period comprising' the calendar years 1922 and 1923 "ind J.

represents

of all the,

the educational enactments of States arid ,of s-ev?ral special

regular legislative sessions or extraordinary seisions.

Massachusetts, Rhode island, New York, New Jersey, South Carb-

lina, and Georgia hold annual meetings pf their legitatures, and

their enaciments therefore appear for both 1922 and 1923.

Heretofore alL school legislation of general_ application in the

lJ respectiv6 States where' enacted was included in the supplemrtary

digests; only laws of distinctly local application and ordinary ap-

propriation bills were omitte4. Owing to space limitation and con-

..

.

siderations of economy and efficiency, the material here presented

must be confined to liws that seein- important or of Ocome general

interest.: Acts that i-elate to subjects of no especial interest, and

, ininof amendn,ients of existing law4, are not included in this supple-

ment.

,

.

By reference to the body of the material presented, it will be mien

that the plan of classification heretofore used has been. retained,

I ..

although some whole sections are omitted, except for the subject

headifig. It ha.4 been thought well to retain this plan and to arrange -..

according to ip such subject matter as is treated.

*Soli() of the whole

discipline, uniformity of textbooks, high-school.. inspection, and

schools for dependents and delinquents. It is uot intended to con-

vey the idea that these *are' unimportant subjects. On the contrary, a large propoAion of them may be considered important, but within the two-year period here treated State legislation affecting them,was not very consideraille: For example, State subventio-n of ruralschoolhouse construction is an important phase of rbral-school improvement in several States, but legislation on thtt subject in 1922 and 1923 was hardly more than insignificant

Some subjects are intrinsically important but relatively unimportant from a legislative point of view, since preient-day legislat?on affecting them is of very smallk volume. Uniformity' of te.xtbooks is one of these subjects. This has -been legislaUvely static for several years. In fact, during the past 10 years the unit of tmiformity has remained essentially the same in 'all States except

Arkansas. State uniformity was adopted there in. 1917. "

The purpose of the Bureau of Education's previous " digests " of

?chool laws wtis twofold: First, to present for the use of persons

wishing it an index of all general State educational legislation; and,

second, to summarize .the enactments of the period covered. in such manner as to show their main provisions ai)d purposes., -it will be - seeri that Anyindez value which the series bas heretofore had is not

preserved in the digest .liere made. ., , ..-

I. AdAnother feature of the digesNogwhich has riot been preserved here 4i is the system of.crost references from one subject tb another. It is

thought that the index at the back of the bulletin will in large

measure cpmpensate for this otaiiqio?. #
