(Laws of 1913, p. 584.) The circuit court ordered the writ to issue. From that order this appeal is prosecuted.\nThe sole question urged here is the unconstitutionality of said statute. That question has been considered and passed upon by this court in Cook v. Board of Directors of School District No. 80, 266 Ill. 164, where the statute was held constitutional. That decision controls here.\nThe judgment of the circuit court must therefore be affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
