be by the courts of this State held to be unconstitutional, then
such holding by said courts shall not in any wise affect the remaining

to that section or those sections that may be declared to be
unconstitutional.
SEC. 24. The provisions of this Act shall be cumulative of all

Laws of this State relating to such matters.
SEC. 27. The condition of the schools in said district, and the

effect and be in force from and after its passage, and it is so
enacted.
