board. These reports shall be filed by the secretary, and pre-
served for the use of the president of the board of school com-
missioners in making up his annual report to the State Superin-
tendent.

82. Whenever the number of children between the ages of
six and eighteen, attending school in any school district, is
greater than one hundred, then the commissioner may, instead
of dividing the district, proceed, with the consent of the board,
to establish schools of different grades and to determine into
which school each pupil shall be admitted.

83. The board of school commissioners shall publish annually,
in one of the papers of the county, or otherwise, a statement of
the moneys received and expended, setting forth all the financial
operations of each district, and if there be no newspapers within
the limits of the county, then they shall publish the same in
such other form as may be ordered, and forward a copy to the
office of the State Superintendent.

THAT WHICH IS TO BE SUPERVISED—SCHOOL DISTRICT MEETINGS.

84. For the purpose of providing schools in sufficient number
and convenient of access, the several counties shall be divided
as herein before provided.

85. The resident voters of each district shall assemble at the
school house on the first Monday in May in each year, at four
o'clock in the afternoon, to discuss questions relating to the con-
dition of the school house, its site and furniture, and to take
such action as may tend to the improvement of education, and
make the school as good as in the exercise of a sound discretion
they may deem expedient. The meeting shall be organized by
the appointment of a moderator, who shall preside, and a clerk,
who shall keep a minute of the proceedings.

86. A copy of all the proceedings of the district meeting
shall be made by the clerk and certified by the chairman and
