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. Any boy who goes to town at night or absents himself from the school at night, without permission, thereby severs his connection with the school. 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.

A s h e V i 1 1 e School. 17 Asheville School seeks those boys only whose home GENERAL life has laid the foundation for good character, manly ments conduct and good scholarship. 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. Important letters and telegrams should be addressed to the principals. All requests should be made to the principals direct and not through the boys. 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. Each boy should be pro- vided with the usual clothing worn during the fall and winter months and in addition should have rubber coat or mackintosh and water-proof boots. All articles of clothing must be marked plainly with the boy ' s full name. Each boy ' s teeth should receive careful attention before he comes to us, and in case trouble with the eyes is suspected a careful examination by a competent oculist should be made. All mail matter, express packages, and freight should be sent in care of Asheville School to secure prompt delivery. Large allowances of money are unnecessary and harmful since there is no occasion for any extraordinary expenditure. Parents are, therefore, urged to give small

NEWTON M.ANDERSON CHARLES A. MITCHELL PRJNCIPALS ASHEviLLE School As H EVl LLE. N C. September 3, 1913. Dear Sir:- By this r.ail, I am sending you a catalog of our school, which will give you information concerning our location, equipir ent , and the character of the work v iii ch we try to do. Our teachers are all graduates of the best colleges and have prepared themselves especially for work in secondary schools. Our ' ' joys go, very largely, to the best colleges and technical schools. Forthis reason, our standard of s cholarsi ' dp is high .and we expect and require good v ork of our pupils. We selected the location that we might have the best place for our boys to develop physically, mentally and morally. Mr. Anderson and I had charge of the University Scliool of Cleveland, Ohio, during the period 1390 to 1900, when we came to As?ie- viile. Previous to that time, I was a master, for a number of years, in St. Paul ' s School, Concord, H. H. I.!r. V . B. Trott who lives on East Capitol Street and The Rev. George H. McC-rew, Rector of the Episco- pal Church in Silver Springs, Md., knov us and our v ' ork intimately. Others in 7 asliington v;ho may tell you about our school and ourselves are; Hon. Theodore Burton, Senator from Oiiio and Hon. Robert Bulkley, Congressmaii from the Cleveland, Ohdo Distri. ct. Mr. Bulkley was a student of ours several years and knows our v;ork intimately, I give you these narries since the school year is so near at hand. We have but few vacancies in som.e of our forms so that an early consideration of the question, if you wish to enter a boy in the school, would be advisable. I shall be very glad to answer any questions which you may care to ask after you have read the pamphlet. Very sincerely y®urs, Mr. S. B. Weeks, 409 B Street, II. E. , Wasliington, D. C. CAIvI-M
