Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Rural High-school District — Transfer of Territory to Another School District — Statute Construed — Authority of County Superintendent— Authority of County Commissioners. Section 6 of chapter 284 of the Laws of 1917, which authorizes the county superintendent to transfer territory from a rural high-school district “to any school district in which a four-year accredited high school is maintained” means that such territory may be transferred to some common-school district of that sort under the general jurisdiction of the county superintendent, and does not mean that such territory may be transferred to a city school district under the jurisdiction of a board of education, and the power vested in a board of county commissioners to review the action of a county superintendent touching the alteration of school-district boundaries does not extend to a review of a county superintendent’s refusal to act on a petition to transfer such rural high-school territory to a city school district.</p>
