!OIN FOR NORMALS. J,uiv I'll t m on Name llast as the ICeforni School. Boer Treasure is Found. iSalem Of., March 10. An examina tion of the laws creatirg the State ISbrmal echoo's seems to show that these schools are as much state institu tions as ar the Reform School, Mute School t-nd B'ind School and that there is anthority for their continuance even though the appropriation bi 1 Bhould be field up by a referendum petition. Advocates of the referendum move wnevt expect to cut off the Normal School expense a'on with some others, toy filing the petitions, but there seems to be as much authority for continuing the Normal School as there ia for the Blind School or Mute School Under the statutes and the decisions of the c urts, the Secretary ot State ia bound to audit claims wherever there is a law in existence authorizing the ex pense to b9 incurred. An examination of the law on that subject therefore be comes important. The authority for the maintenance of the Blind School is contained in section 3561 of the code, which says: "The State Board of Education are hereby constituted the Board of Trus tees of said institute, and it shall be their duty as uch 'trustees to take charge of the funds of said institute, to provide for the proper care of the pupils, to appoint all officers and teachers, and define the dutiea of the same, to fix and regulate the salaries of all persons employed by them, and to make a full statement of the expenses, tnaoagement and condition of the in stitute at each regular session of the Legislative Assembly." The law creating the Drain and Ash land Normal School is contained in sections 3501 to 3507 of th code. Tie act provides for a Board of Regents, consisting of the State Board of Ed ' ca tion and nine membeis appointed bv tie Gsve'tor on each Board. Sect in 2505 defines the powers aul du ies of the boards, among which are the fol lowing: "To appoint and employ a prenidei-t and yice president of said school and such professors, teachers and employes as may be necessary and to prescribe their dnties, compensation and teture of offiop. or employment." The Western Normal is governed by sections 3490 to 3500 ot the code. Sec tion 3500 gives the Board of Regents tower simitar to that quoted regarding 1he Drain and Ashland schools, ai.d it is a'so provide ! that the board t-hall have power "to purchase any needful and proper apparatus, books or articles, and to provide for all necessary fuel acd other supplies tor use in the school." The same power to employ teachers, fix their compensation and tenure of employment is conferred upon the Board of Regents of the Monmouth .'Noi inal. In tbe ense of the Monmouth, D nin and Asnland schools, authoritv is given to expend any mony belonging to or appropriated for such schools, and in ;fhe case of the Monmouth Normal, it is 'specified that the expenditure shall be 'according to the terms tf such gift or appropriation," but thee provisions do not appear to be a limitation upon the power to employ teachers atd fix sa'aiies. 'The acts govern ng the Reform tvhool and Mnte School are a little more particular in teims than that governing the Blind School. The acts authorized the boards of trustees to make any contracts for the purchase of supplies, etc., necessary for the mainte nance of the schools. The acts governing the Normal schools authorize the employment of .teachers, which means the making of . contracts, and there seems to be no ea eecli l difference between the Normal School acts and thore governing the Reform, Mute and Blind Schools. After a most diligent search the treasure removed from Pretoria before the arrival of the British soldiers ebb been found. Its value is estimated at $1,250,000, of whioh the government will receive half. The search for health is still being diligently seaiched for by thousands of people who have been sick ly for years.
