The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It may be said that the reason for the distinction which-the portion of the section just quoted makes between cities of the sixth class and others is that the former do not have school departments as parts of their organizations, and that for this reason likewise the rule of the Sanitary District case mentioned would not apply to such cities. This is true, but it might well be replied that the prohibition of the section on a city of the sixth class being in more than one school district means that nevertheless the same rule shall apply as to it, so that when the territory is annexed to it, it follows as an incident that the territory becomes a part of the same school district as the city.””
