Syllabus

<p>School law — High schools — Tuition—Suit by parent — Act of May 28, 1907, P. L. 202 — Presumption.</p> <p>1. A suit by the father of a pupil against the school district in which he resides to recover money paid for the tuition of the pupil in a high school in an adjoining district, can only be maintained for money which had been paid after the passage of the Act of May 23, 1907, P. L. 202.</p> <p>2. In such a suit where it appears that the principal of the high school of the adjoining district duly examined the son of the plaintiff for admission to his school, it will be presumed that he does so under the direction of the county superintendent, not only because the acts of a public officer are presumed to have been done in accordance with law, but also because a teacher with a certificate of the county superintendent, is supposed to act under his direction in all things so far as his duties are made subject to the direction of the county superintendent.</p>
