The opinion of the court was delivered by
By section 50 of the School law, passed at the special session of the legislature October 19th, 1903, the board of education of the city of Burlington has the supervision, control and management of the public schools in that city. In January, 1904, the relator’s two daughters were transferred by the supervising principal from the schools which they had previously attended to another public school, and on February 24th, 1904, the relator applied to the board to restore his children to the former schools. A lengthy correspondence ensued, the upshot of which was a refusal by the board to interfere. Thereupon the'relator obtained a rule requiring the board to show cause why a mandamus should not issue compelling such restoration.
By the tenth section of the School law the controversy thus existing between the relator and the board is made the subject
The rule to show cause is discharged.
