Following are the sections of the
new school law relating to the organ
ir-ttion of schools under the township
system:
See. 23. School townships may be
organized in any county whether
townships are organized for civil pur
poses or not. ihit when organized
both as school townships and civil
townships the boundaries and name
shall be the same for both purposes.
Where civil townships are now organ
ized the school townships may also be
organized with the same boundaries
and name. Both may be organized at
the same time, or either first and the
other afterwards. This act, except
wherin otherwise specifically declared
shall apply to and govern school town
ships only when organized as distinct
corporations for school purposes, as
declared in section 2 of this act.
Sec 24. The board of county com
missioners of each county shall, be
fore the fust day of June, 1883, pro
ceed to divide the county into school
townships (except when already divid
ed into civil townships.) llx and de
termine the boundaries thereof, and
number the same, and in so doing
shall have regard for natural bounda
ries, but the number of school town
ships shall not exceed the number of
cougres-iioual townships or fractional
parts thereof greater than one-half
in any county. The board of county
commissioners shall in the perform
ance ot their duty, call to their aid
and counsel the county superintend
ent of public schools, and, if a
different person may call before
them also the predecessor of that
officer for his or her testimony and ad
vice, and hear any citizens who are
interested are who are well informed
of the topography and settlement of
the county. And the county superin
tendent- shall prepare and pi t-sent be
fore them a carefully prepared map of
the county which shall show the
boundaries of all school districts and
other school corporations in the coun
ty, the locution of all rivers, lakes and
marshes or other topography that
would affect school travel the location
of all railroads built or under con
struction, and of all cities, towns and
villages: and shall carefully locate
thereon every school house of the val
ue of one hundred dollars or more.
Sec. 25. After carefully weighing
'all these facts, and having regard
thereto the board shall so divide the
county into school townships as wiil
best subserve and promote the perma
nent interests and welfare of the pub
lic schools in the whole county, so
that not less than four primary schools
may be in one school township when
settled, and so that the township shall
have when settled sufficient area and
population and number of schools to
furnish opportunity of choice between
schools and to support a more ad
vanced graded school from the patrons
of all. To secure these ends they may
include as many as four congressional
townships or parts thereof in one
school township. The board of com
missioners may change ihe boundaries
of these school townships the same as
may be provided by law for changing
the boundaries of civil townships: and
a change of boundary for one purpose
changes it also for the other, and the
boundaries and limits as well as the
name shall be and remain the same
for school purposes, and for civil and
political purposes.
Sec. 26. (County board shall num
ber the school townships until such
time as the electors, at the first town
ship meeting, shall choose names,
failing to do which in any instance,
the county board shall give it a name].
Sec. 27 The county clerk shall,
within thirty days after the first
school township election held as here
in provided, transmit to the Territor
ial Auditor a plat of the county show
ing the boundaries and name vf each
school township therein, and shall re
cord a copy of the same, together
with all the proceedings of the county
board had and done under this act, in
a proper book to be kept for that pur
pose.
Sec. 28. [Provides, through the
medium of the Territorial Auditor
and the county board, for the chang
ing-of township-names whea two in
the Territory are alike j.
Sec. 2'.). All civil townships now
organized shall become school town
ships by the election and qualification
of the officers thereof as hereinafter
provided but before they are so or
ganized and before the first day of
June, 18K3, the board of county com
missioners of the county in which
they are organized shall carefully re
consider the boundaries, area and sit
uation thereof, in all respects as pro
vided herein for dividing a county in
to school townships, and shall so far
as necessary change and rearrange the
boundaries thereof so as to render the
townships suitable and convenient for
school purposes as well as for civil
