The object in tlie passage of the School law of 1872 was to establish one general system under which all the schools in the State might be conducted, except where schools were conducted under special acts in cities having less than one hundred thousand inhabitants, or incorporated towns, townships or districts. Such special acts were not repealed or changed by the general law.</p> <p>2. Sahe—certificate of qualification—whether necessary—in order to teacher’s pay. Section 52 of the School act, which prohibits the paying of any teacher not having a certificate to teach before his employment, out of any school moneys, has application only to those school districts which are acting under the general law. It does not apply to boards of education elected under section 80 of the act. Such boards are expressly authorized to examine teachers, and to fix the amount of their salaries.</p>
