Tho OH Round To,rer.

Those who visit Newport, Rhode Island
are shown the old round tower, which Is one
Of the chief attractions of this place. This
was probably built by the Norsemen early
in the thirteenth century, and WAS used by
them as a tower in which to flee for safety
when attacked By the natives. 1t was their
tower of safety, and il 1t could talk,
what volumes Of history could It relate.
Just as il was tower of safety TO the early
DISCOVERIES of America, SO is Pcruna to the
citizens of our country to-day. As its pre-

and contains no poisonous minerals 1t IS

In the opinion of Attorney General Watts
and also Of State Superintendent of Schools,
Hon. b. L. Butcher, Boards of Education
ton have no power vested in them to cur
tail accounts approved by the Trustees of
the Schools Gen. Watts says;
If the Board upon examination or re-
visal, find the account correct, they cannot
alter, amend, or repudiate it, but, in the
language of the law, they shall pay it out
Of the building fund Of the District"
Hon. b. L. Butcher says:
IL do not think q Board Of Ellcatio n
has authority 70 curlail any account prop
erly certified by the trustees OF sub
district. if the items of the account come
within the list named in the Statute and
free from clerical errors, prC'ided always
that there is no fraud or collision in the
transaction"
IL is the province Of the Board of Eluca-
ton to see that accounts are clerically cor
rect, and their duty to pay them. The
Trustees are the custodiaDs of the School
property aud it is their duty to supply the
needed furnishings for the schools and to
make such repairs. as may be necessary, and
certify the accounts to the Boards of Eeuca-
ton whose duty it is to pay them.
