Excerpt from Journal of the Rhode Island Institute of Instruction for 1845-6, Vol. 1 The law respecting public schools was found scattered through upwards of fortk acts of a general or special nature; and in all that relates to t e powers and duties 0 school districts, was so imperfect as to preclude any decisive action on the part of the inhabitants of any district, towards the improvement of their schools or school-houses, without some special legislation in their favor. The new act is so framed as to render any reference to a particular part a matter of great facility; and occu ies less space than the special acts re sting to the building 0 school houses alone, passed since 1839.
