The trial court held that the evidence substantiated the appellee's claim; that the appellee was not guilty of any perpetration of or participation in any fraud in connection with the claimed election of the de facto school director; that the appellee was not sufficiently acquainted with the status of the claimed de facto officer to charge her with notice of that fact; and that she was entitled to rely upon his action in voting for her election as schoolteacher for the District. Judgment was therefore entered for the full amount of her claim, with interest. The School District has appealed. Certain matters of evidence are conceded.
