The discipline is not adapted to boys who require severe restrictions and the method of instruction assumes that the pupils have some power of application and a will to work.

All business dealings must be conducted between the parents and the principals and cheques should be made payable to Asheville School. The school provides all needed articles except the following, which each boy should bring with him: Bible, prayer-book, hymnal, toilet articles, face-towels, bath towels, wash-cloths, soap.

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. 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.

No explanation or excuse will be accepted regarding an infraction of this rule. 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 harmful to the school, apart from any overt acts of disobedience or insubordination, he may be summarily dismissed. The deportment, industry and scholarship of each boy are made known to his parents or guardian every four weeks. All text books and stationery used may be purchased at the school at regular rates. Boys should bring with them the books they studied during the past year.
