visitors may be received who are not members of the family. Such visits must be authorized by the parents, and sanctioned by the Directress. Pupils whose parents reside in Prescott may visit at their own homes on the first Sunday of each month. Apart from this, resident pupils will politely decline all invitations during the scho- lastic year. In no case should the pupils be expected to go out during class or study hours, or to remain out over night. Social and business callers are kindly requested to make their visits to the Academy before nightfall. There is no Easter vacation. The Christmas holi- days may be spent at home. Those who do not return on the appointed day or who are not in regular attend- ance during the entire scholastic year, forfeit their privi- lege of competing for class honors. A friendly rivalry in contesting for class honors is encouraged. Pupils are responsible for all damage done by them to school property. Boxes containing candy or other eatables sent to a student will be disposed of at the discretion of the Di- rectress. On birthdays, at Christmas, Easter and Thanks- giving, pupils may receive such boxes. Fresh fruit may be received at any time. Express charges should always be prepaid. Monthly reports are sent to parents and guardians. Pupils are not permitted to use the telephone. Messages will be delivered to them. Discipline is gentle and firm. A kindly chaperonage is constantly exercised.

UrgulatimiB References are required for the admission of pupils. Pupils are received at any time during the school year if there is a vacancy. No deduction is made for the Christ- mas vacation, for any temporary absence, except in the case of protracted illness, nor for the first two or the last two weeks of the scholastic year. Pupils who leave school before the end of the second semester forfeit all right to promotion and honors. The Academy affords accommodations for onlv fifty boarding pupils. It is necessary, therefore, that former pupils who intend to return should renew their applica- tion not later than August first, in order that they may be suitably provided for before response is made to new ap- plicants. Pupils of all denominations are received. The con- scientious convictions of non-Catholics are respected, but for the maintenance of good order all are are required to conform to the external discipline of the Academy. Non-Catholic pupils are not permitted to study Christian Doctrine without the written permission of parents or guardians. Entirely separate from the Academy building, a comfortable and home-like dormitory and recreation rooms have been fitted for a limited number of small boys, from six to twelve years of age. The terms and requirements for boys are the same as those for girls, except in regard to wardrobe, which is explained else- where in this prospectus. Each pupil is to be provided with pocket money, which must be deposited in the treasury. She will send home a monthly statement of her expenditures, and no one will be permitted to overdraw her deposit. When clothes, stationery, etc., are to be furnished by the institution, a sufficient sum must be deposited for the purpose. Letters or other mail, sent or received by the pupils, is subject to inspection. Pupils from Prescott may re- ceive visits from parents and relatives on Sunday from one to five P. M. On the fourth Sunday of each month
