Syllabus

<p>Schools and School Districts — State Funds — Apportionment— Statutes — Construction. Under 2 Eem. & Bal. Code, §§ 4562-4574, as amended by 3 Id., §§ 4562 and 4567, providing for the apportionment of state school funds according to the attendance in the several districts credited with children attending common schools, private schools, high schools, parental schools, night schools, and schools for defectives, no credit can be given for attendance in a model training school conducted as a department of a state normal school; since the statute makes no provision therefor.</p> <p>Same — Apportionment op Funds — “Common Schools.” A model training school conducted as a department of a state normal school is not a “common school,” within the meaning of the law relating to the apportionment of state school funds, where the teaching was done by supervisors and students of the nomal school, not paid or chosen by the school district, some of whom were not qualified by law to teach in the common schools.</p> <p>Same — “Common Schools.” The compulsory school law (Rem. & Bal. Code, § 4714 et seq.) does not require the attendance of children in common schools of the state or private schools; hence does not tend to show that a model training school in a state normal school is either a common or private school, within the meaning of the law relating to the apportionment of state school fund's.</p>
