A sheville School . 17 Large allowances of money are unnecessary and harmful since there is no occasion for any extraordinary expenditure. Parents are, therefore, urged to give small allowances, and are requested to indicate their pleasure concerning the manner of payment and to specify what expenses the allowances should cover. Parents who desire the principals to take charge of the allowance money should make a deposit each half year for that purpose. All payments stop when the deposit is exhausted. Boxes and packages of food are forbidden without special permission of the principals. Boys are forbidden to contract any debts whatso- ever or to run any account without permission of the principals and they shall not sell or trade personal prop- erty of value without the written permission of their parents and the consent of the principals. Damages to school property in rooms or alcoves will be repaired at the cost of the occupant of the room or alcove affected. Boys will not be permitted to remain away from the school over night. The use of liquor is absolutely forbidden. Boys found guilty of indulging in this habit will not be retained. If the influence of any boy is believed to be harm- ful to the school, apart from any overt acts of dis- obedience or insubordination, he may be summarily dismissed.
