161 P. 706 | Or. | 1917
delivered the opinion of the court.
That part of Section 4 which prescribes the method to be pursued by the county school superintendent in determining the cost of educating each nonresident high school pupil is complete in itself, and its meaning is, in our opinion, perfectly clear. The whole process is a simple problem in long division. The dividend is the total amount expended by the high school department of the district for the preceding year, the divisor the average daily attendance, and the resulting quotient the cost of educating the nonresident pupil. The word “expended” means “paid out; disbursed”: People v. Kane, 43 App. Div. 472, 61 N. Y.
Wbit Allowed in Pabt and Dismissed in Past.
