` quired by an act passed in 195h to present to the board a statement signed ;
by the state superintendent of public instruction that he has been issued a *

‘ this act the superintendent retains his former duties in substantially the
same form and is given power to enforce all laws and rules relating to
schools. By it, he is granted authority to appoint necessary clerks to pre-
pare rules, regulations, by-laws, and statements of policy for the approval
and adoption by the board and subject to its control, and to have general [
` supervision of the conduct, course of instruction, management of teachers,
" discipline of pupils, and management of business affairs. (Ibid., secs.

braries that may be established (ibid., sec. 958d—5), During the School

He is required to furnish a statement showing the boundaries of school E
districts for the purpose of tax assessments to companies operating railroads E
_ Or bridges, and receive taxes from such companies (Carroll, secs. hO99, MlOO). ‘
' i At the close of the school year, he must make an annual report to the state
board of education, giving an itemized account of all funds received from the \
state and other sources, and a statement of all expenditures during the year E

i of persons from which they may appoint three to five persons as members of §

· by the board (ibid., sec. hb5h—6), and recommends teachers, where the sub- (
g district trustEe*fails te, for appointment by the board (ibid., sec. h599— *
