Parents who desire the prin- cipals 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 ni ght 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 in- subordination, 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.

The discipline is not adapted to boys who require severe restrictions and the method of in- struction assumes that the pupils have some power of appli- cation and a will to work. Important letters and telegrams should be addressed to the principals. All requests should be made to the prin- cipals direct and not through the boys. All business deal- ings must be conducted between the parents and the prin- cipals and cheques should be made payable to Asheville School. The school provides all needed articles except the fol- lowing, which every boy should bring with him: Bible, prayer-book, hymnal, small rug, toilet articles, face-towels, bath towels, wash-cloths, soap. Each boy should be pro- vided with the usual clothing worn during the fall and win- ter 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 sus- pected 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 de- livery. Large allowances of money are unnecessary and harm- ful, since there is no occasion for any extraordinary ex- penditure. Parents are, therefore, urged to give small al- lowances and are requested to indicate their pleasure con-
