Which Act number corresponds to the Private School Law of 1917?

• A. Commonwealth Act No. 578
• B. Act No. 74
• C. Act No. 2706
• D. Commonwealth Act No. 1

Answer: (C)

The important idea here is matching the historical law to its specific identifier. The Private School Law enacted in 1917 is known as the act numbered 2706. This designation comes from how laws were catalogued at the time, with private education standards and regulation framed under that specific act. Among the options, the number 2706 is the one that corresponds to the Private School Law, reflecting its role in setting the framework for private schools to operate under state supervision and meet required standards. The other numbers refer to different statutes from that era and do not designate the Private School Law.
