Asheville School 17 No firearms are allowed at the school. 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. There are few extra or incidental expenses. Therefore expense parents may know in advance what the cost for the school year will be. The annual charge covers the tuition fee and all living expenses except for clothing. The charge for books and stationery is extra. The school provides all articles used by the various school teams — crews, baseball, football, basketball, tennis, golf and track athletics — which are not personal or individual property. The school pays the expenses of the teams and purchases the trophies awarded. No admission fee is charged for any athletic con- tests or entertainments held at the school. No extra charge is made for infirmary service or for the services of a trained nurse, unless a special nurse is required. The annual charge is $1,150, payable $575 at the open- ing of school in September and $575 on January first. Boys are accepted in September only with the understanding that they are to remain for the full year; however, no objection will be made to a withdrawal during the Christmas vaca- tion provided notice is given before January first. Unless such notice is given, the parent or guardian will be expected to pay for the remainder of the year. No part of the semi-annual fee will be remitted in case of dismissal, withdrawal or absence.

16 Asheville School Boys may consult a doctor only with the permission of the Headmaster. 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- cerning the manner of payment and to specify what expenses the allowances should cover. Parents who desire the Head- master to take charge of the allowance money should make a deposit each half year for that purpose. All paym ents stop when the deposit is exhausted. Boxes and packages of food are forbidden without special permission of the Headmaster. 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 at night or to visit hotels except with their parents. Any boy who absents himself from the school at night without permission thereby severs his connection with the school. No explanation or excuse will be accepted regard- ing an infraction of this rule. Boys shall not sell or trade off personal property of any kind without the written permission of the parent and the consent of the Headmaster. 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.
