868 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 489
to the Circuit Court of the County wherein the applicant pur-
poses to operate, or to the Superior Court of Baltimore City,
if the applicant purposes to operate therein. On any such
appeal from the action of the State Board of Education is
either revoking such certificate or in affirming the action of
the State Superintendent of Schools in denying a certificate,
there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the action of the
State Board of Education is proper and in the public interest.
The burden of proof shall be upon the appellant to show that
the decision complained of is either against the public interest,
or that the State Board of Education's discretion in render-

The appeal shall be heard by the Court without a jury or with

Court of Appeals from any decision of the Court on the ques-

such appeal shall have the effect of further staying the revoca-

Schools shall prior to such issuance give thirty days written
notice of such proposed rules and regulations to the schools or
educational institutions affected thereby and shall afford such
schools or educational institutions a reasonable opportunity
to be heard regarding any objections they might have to such
rules and regulations. Any school or educational institution
affected thereby shall be given reasonable written notice of the
