We recognize the school as being a large family-a small commonwealth where pupils are fitted for living --for citizenship. We believe in the honor sys- tem, hence the pupil is appealed to as a rational, reasonable creature who is one of the prime factors in promoting the harmony and good feeling that must exist in a model stu- dent body. The spirit of ought and not must must pre- vail among our pupils. The code of the Man of Galilee, Whatsoever ye would that men do unto you, do ye even so unto them, is the sum and substance of our code of dis- cipline. The good, the studious, the earnest worker is wanted g the idle, the vicious, will be dismissed. While the idea of rules are not encouraged, for sense of right is in every boy and girl's heart, yet we add a few to cover general rule of conduct. li .L

Pupils will be expected to furnish pillows, sheets, blankets, quilts, broom, toilet articles and other things they may wish in their rooms. We suggest that two boys from the same community apply for aroom together, sharing the expense of furnishing the room, thus making expense less and room association more congenial. We suggest that applications be made as soon as possible, as rooms at the dormitory will be disposed of on the plan of first come, first served. All students boarding in the dormitory 'willbe required to comply xwith such regulations as the management may see iit to impose in their efforts to secure the highest wel- fare of the students. We expect to make life in the dormitory as free,las con- genial, as home-like as possible,pand at the same' time make it a place where a student can do his best work. ' M! if im: his I
