[1] The Public Schools Statute (Act 214, p. 406, of 1902) provides for the creation of a board of school directors for each parish of the state, and confers upon said board authority to divide the parish under its jurisdiction into school districts of such area and shape as it may deem best; and also to establish high schools, provided the cost of the high school sites and buildings shall not come out of the general school fund. The same statute authorizes elections to be held for the voting of special taxes for school purposes, including the construction and maintenance of school buildings.
