18 Asheville School Boys may consult a doctor only with the permission of the Headmaster. All mail should be addressed to Asheville School, N. C. Express packages and freight should be sent in care of Asheville School, Asheville, N, C, to secure prompt delivery. Large allowances of money are unnecessary and harm- ful, since there is no occasion for any extraordinary expendi- ture. 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 allow- ance should cover. A plan connecting the boy ' s allowance with the monthly grades has proven most satisfactory and is strongly recommended. A circular showing details of the plan will gladly be furnished. Parents who desire the Headmaster to take charge of the allowance money should make a deposit each half year for that purpose. All pay- ments 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 will be repaired at the cost of the occupant of the room 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.

Asheville School 17 Asheville School seeks those boys only whose home life general has laid the foundation for good character, manly conduct ments and good scholarship. The discipline is not adapted to boys who require severe restrictions and the method of instruction assumes that the boys have some power of application and a will to work. Important letters and telegrams should be addressed to the Headmaster. All requests should be made to the Head- master direct and not through the boys. All business dealings must be conducted between the parents and the Headmaster, and cheques should be made payable to Asheville School. All rooms are single rooms and so placed as to have the sun half of each day, and there is not much difference between them. Assignments of rooms to old boys are made during the summer. Assignments to new boys are made in the order of application for admission to the School. The rooms are supplied with bedstead, springs, mattress, pillow, sheets, pillow slip, two double blankets, counterpane, chiffonier, table, book shelves, chair and clothes closet. Each boy should bring with him: Bible, prayer-book, small rug, toilet articles, face towels, bath towels, wash cloths, soap ; and should be provided with the usual clothing worn during the fall and winter months, and in addition should have rubber coat or mackintosh and boots for tramp- ing. 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 school, and in case trouble with the eyes is sus- pected, a careful examination by a competent oculist should be made.

A she vill e School 19 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. 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 $1,350, payable $675 at the open- ing of school in September and $675 on February 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 vacation
