v.
Facts:
The decision of a School Board as to the amount of school accommodation in a parish having caused dissatisfaction, on application by the Board the Education Department sent one of their members to inspect the locality and inquire. The result was that the Education Board approved the decision of the School Board, and subsequently refused to alter it or recall their sanction when petitioned to do so by some of the ratepayers.— Held that the Board of Education having complied with the statutory regulations, and applied their minds to the question, were the sole and exclusive judges, and that their resolution could not competently be reviewed.
