THE LEGAL UGHOOL VIAI.
As a question has arisen as to what
constitutes a school week. at 'l as ihir
rIIaIcrlally affects the school year. At
toincI General King was called upon
rec'ently to give his opinion upon the
subject. in his reply to Comptroller
Secley. the attorney general said:
"i advise you that in my opinion the
term “thirty- six weeks“ used in the
statute means thirty six woeks of five
days cashless such deductions as
should be made. 'l‘hltty six school
weeks do not necessarily include out
. hundred antl eighty days on which the
school must be kept open. 'i‘hus tliI

"in reply to your second question as
to Iilrtlllie days should be deducted
which are allowed in custom for the.
\ir-lifliitlll oi oilici itehools: if suIli
Iustoui exists. and is sanctioned by the
authorities having control and super-
vision of the school. their such days
should be deducted from the thirty-six
