cadet: and it distinctly disclaims any responsibility for accounts thus irregularly opened. Castle Heights cadets do not need credit accounts. The Academy has already, in the first pages of this catalogue, requested the utmost co-operation of parents in all matters affecting the upbuilding of the boy. It desires here again to emphasize the great importance of curbing every tendency on the part of a cadet towards the useless expenditure of money.

I t cannot be too strongly urged that cadets be not allowed to carry accounts with the local banks, and that under no circumstances shall they be empowered to sign checks in the name of parents or guardians.
