<p>SYULABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Officer — Resignation of Member of Board of Education — No Formal Acceptance— Recognition of Successor Tantamount to Acceptance of Resignation. Where a member of a board of education signs a resignation and delivers it to the president thereof, and without any action having been taken thereon a successor is chosen at the following city election who is thereafter recognized as such by the other members of the board, such recognition is tantamount to an acceptance of the resignation, and by virtue thereof the title to the office of the member who so tendered it is extinguished, regardless of whether or not the election was invalid for want of a prior acceptance.</p>
