will apply, and the author of this book seeks to supply the demand.
In the compilation of this edition no attempt has been made to recall any of the history of the founding or growth of our educational system. It is believed that the best service to be rendered by its publication, will be the furnishing of a brief and practical treatise on the legal side of our educational system. The decisions of the supreme court of the state, attorneys general, and Superintendents of Public Instruction, have been carefully examined, and such material gleaned therefrom as will aid the student better to understand the law in its statutory form. We give all that part of the constitution of the state relating to education and, in as condensed and attractive a form as possible, the acts of the legislature which, at the close of the session of 1895, are the laws of the state governing educational affairs.
Lansing, Mich., July 4, 1895.
