TRUSTEE ASSIGNS PUPILS.

Has Full Power in Designating School, Says Honan. Thomas M. Honan, attorneygeneral, in response to a query submitted by Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, has held that a township trustee has sole authority in deciding where a patron shall send his children to school and when such an assign* ment is the patron has no authority to esnd them elsewhere. The quesiton arose in a number of townships where patrons, desirous of having a school abandoned, sought to send their children to schools not designated by the trustee.
