The respective boards of trustees are hereby authorized and directed to cause said flags to be paid for out of any county school money in their respective school district funds not required for regular expenses.

Attorney-General Advisor of Deputy Superintendents.

Teachers Exempt from Jury Duty.

SEC. 117. Teachers actually engaged in teaching in the public schools of the state and members of the faculty of the state university shall be exempt from jury duty during the session of the public schools or university, but nothing in this act shall be construed as to excuse said teachers from liability to jury duty during a vacation.

Classification of Funds.

SEC. 118. On and after the fifteenth day of September, nineteen hundred and eleven, the county auditors and the county treasurers of the several counties of the State of Nevada shall keep separate accounts in their books for the library fund, the county school fund, and the state school fund of each district within their respective counties, and in no case shall they keep any school fund account in such manner that its balance shall at any time include the amounts on hand in any two school funds.

If on the said fifteenth day of September, nineteen hundred and eleven, the county auditor and the county treasurer in any county shall not have their respective school fund accounts arranged so that no school fund account shall show by its balance the amount on hand in any two

or more school funds, the said county auditor and the county treasurer shall adjust their school fund accounts in the following manner:

The county auditor shall determine the total amount of money in the county treasury to the credit of each school district on the said fifteenth day of September, nineteen hundred and eleven. He shall then deduct from the said total amount to the credit of each school district at the time mentioned, the amount of money which should be in the library fund of each of the said school districts on the fifteenth day of September, nineteen hundred and eleven, and the amount so deducted shall constitute, for each school district, a separate fund which shall thereafter be designated as the library fund for such school district, and the county auditor shall thereafter make such entries in the said library fund as will show, at all times, the apportionments made to that fund, and all amounts drawn from the said fund in payment of legal claims.

If for any reason the auditor cannot tell the exact amount which should be in the library fund of any school district on the date mentioned above, he shall deduct from the total amount to the credit of the school district an amount equal to the apportionment to the library fund of that district made in July, nineteen hundred and eleven, and the amount so deducted shall constitute, for such school district, a separate fund which shall thereafter be designated as the library fund as provided above.

After the auditor has established the library fund for each school district, as described above, he shall deduct from the remainder of the total amount to the credit of each school district, the amount apportioned to the state school fund of that district in July, nineteen hundred and eleven, and the amount so deducted shall constitute the state school fund of that school district, and the auditor shall open a separate account in his books for the said state school fund, and he shall thereafter make such entries in the state school fund account as will show, at any time, the apportionments made to such state school fund, and all amounts drawn from the said fund in payment of teachers' salaries; provided, that only the salaries of teachers shall be paid from such fund.

After establishing a library fund, and a state school fund, for each school district in the manner described above, the auditor shall establish a county school fund for each school district in the county by opening a separate account in his books and making proper entry therein of the amount left to the credit of each district after deducting from the said total amount the several amounts described above as constituting the library fund and the state school fund for each district, and the remainder left, when the said two amounts shall have been deducted from the total amount to the credit of each school district, shall constitute the county school fund of each school district, and the county auditor shall thereafter make such entries in the county school fund account as will show, at all times, the apportionments made to that fund, and all amounts drawn from the said fund in payment of legal claims.

After the county auditor in each county has established the library fund, the state school fund, and the county school fund for each school district in the manner described above, he shall certify the amounts in each of the said funds to the county treasurer, and the county treasurer shall immediately open a separate account in his books for each of the three funds mentioned above, and he shall, thereafter, make such entries

in each of the said accounts as will show, at all times, the apportionments made to each fund, and all amounts drawn from each fund in payment of legal claims.

Penalty.

SEC. 119. In case of failure or neglect on the part of the county auditor or the county treasurer of any county to comply with the provisions of the foregoing section, he shall forfeit for the benefit of the county school fund the sum of one hundred dollars from his official compensation, and it is hereby made the duty of the county commissioners, on notice from the deputy superintendent of public instruction of such failure or neglect on the part of any county auditor or county treasurer to comply with the provisions of the foregoing section, to deduct the said one hundred dollars from the compensation of the said negligent officer, and the commissioners shall place the said amount to the credit of the county school fund.

Penalty for Nonfulfilment of Contract.

SEC. 120. Should any teacher employed by a board of school trustees for a specified time, leave the school before the expiration of such time, without the consent of the trustees, in writing, said teacher shall be deemed guilty of unprofessional conduct, and the deputy superintendent of public instruction is authorized, upon receiving notice of such fact, to suspend the certificate of such teacher for the period of one year. Appeal, How Made.

SEC. 121. From any decision made by a deputy superintendent affecting adversely the rights, powers, or duties of any teacher or school board as fixed by law, in any case in which no appeal is allowed to the board of education, an appeal may be taken to the superintendent of public instruction, and his decision in the premises shall be final.

manner as provided herein for appointment of census marshals in school districts of the first class, and in case a census marshal is appointed in such school district of the second class because there is no teacher therein, then the said marshal shall be paid for the services in the same manner as marshals in the districts of the first class are paid.

If the board of school trustees shall fail to appoint a school census marshal in any district of the first class as described in this section, or in any district of the second class when necessary, as provided in this section, before the fifteenth day of March of each year, the deputy superintendent of public instruction shall appoint the census marshal for such school districts, such appointee to proceed in like manner as if appointed by the school trustees, and any appointment of census marshal made by the trustees subsequent to that time shall be void.

in the district in which the state orphans' home shall be located; provided, that the parents of resident children of any district must have resided in the district on the first day of April; and provided further, that the resident children must themselves have been actual residents of the district immediately previous to such outside residence.

The term "resident children" is further defined as to exclude:

1. Children temporarily visiting or in passing through said district. 2. Children who have never actually resided within the district, even though their parents or guardians shall reside within the district.

3. Children who are residing within the district for the purpose of attending institutions of learning or benevolent institutions, except the children of a state orphans' home, whose census shall be taken in the district in which the state orphans' home shall be located.
