Monks, J.—
This action was brought by the relators to compel, by writ of mandamus, the trustee of Eagle creek school township to establish a new school and erect, or otherwise provide, a sehoolhouse for the same. A trial of said cause resulted in a special finding of facts and a conclusion of law thereon in favor of appellee, and judgment was rendered in favor of appellee.
1. It appears from the special findings that on March 3, 1904, a petition signed by four resident voters of said school township requesting the establishment of a new school and the erection of a new sehoolhouse therefor was presented to the trustee of said Eagle creek school township. Thereafter the advisory board of said township authorized the trustee of said township to borrow not to exceed $600 to build said sehoolhouse. After said action of the advisory board, the trustee of said township refused to establish said new school or build said schoolhouse. Without appealing from this decision of the township trustee, the relators brought this action.
Under §6028 Burns 1901, §4537 R. S. 1881 and Horner 1901, the trustees of school townships have the power to establish new schools and locate and build new schoolhouses therefor when in their judgment the public interest requires it, subject to the right of appeal to the county superin*140tendent. Such discretion, if exercised in good faith, can not be reviewed by the courts. Crist v. Brownsville Tp.

2. Although the legislature has by the act of February 7, 1893 (Acts 1893, p. 17, §§5920c-5920e Burns 1901), and-the acts of March 7 and 11,1901 (Acts 1901, p. 159, Acts 1901, p. 437, §§5920f, 5920g Burns 1901), limited this power of trustees in regard to the removal of schoolhouses, and the abandonment of “district schools” (Carnahan v. State, ex rel. [1900], 155 Ind. 156" court="Ind." date_filed="1900-06-22" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/carnahan-v-state-ex-rel-eads-7053937?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="7053937">155 Ind. 156; Ireland v.

S. 1881.
'3. It is evident that the remedy of the relators was by appeal from the decision of the trustee to the county superintendent under §6028, supra. Judgment affirmed.
Gillett, C. J., took no part in the decision of this cause.
