Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from State of Missouri Revised School Laws: Revised Statutes, 1919, Amended Laws, 1921, and New Laws Enacted by the 51st General Assembly, With Court Decisions, Forms and Comments for the Use of School Officers
Laws are made for our convenience, guidance and proteo tion. It is not only our duty to become familiar with these laws but we should strive to obey them. Law is simply a his tory of human experience reduced to a set of rules and principles which our forefathers have thought wise. Law is universal. All creation is governed by it. Divine law is nothing more than the method by which God works. So law is a rule of action for harmonious cooperation. Obedience to law insures progress and happiness.
The people of Missouri take a just pride in their laws and are anxious to use and honor them with a determined patriotic ardor. Never have so many and important public school laws of our state been collected in one volume. We are striving for a greater and nobler American citizenship. We become a better, happier, and more useful people mainly through the avenues of proper education.
For this reason school laws stand at the very top as our most brilliant guide posts. We feel that all people who have any thing to do with school administration and also those who have any interest in the welfare of our state will take kindly to these laws and familiarize themselves with their true meaning and import.
The most urgent duty that now lies before us is to honestly test and sacredly guard the new laws that have been enacted by the general assembly of 1921 and combine their usefulness with all our former well tried educational laws.
By sincerely and fairly working together for good, under these laws, our people will become imbued with a new spirit for true mental growth, and we earnestly appeal to all progressive citizens to be ever ready to offer reasonable suggestions for im provement that our future lawmakers may have a clear basis upon which to build still better laws.
