Pupils age required to attend the church designated by parents or guardian, when practicable. Teachers Will accompany pupils to the churches named by parents or guardians. FURNISHIN'G.

We discourage expensive dressing, and the use of expensive jewelry. UNIFORM. On Sundays, as well as all public occasions, the board- ing pupils are required to wear uniform. This is economy and prevents distinction in dress. It consists of black dress, Oxford gown and cap. The gown and cap are to be purchased after entering school. The cost of the gown will not exceed $10, and the cap will cost $2.50. The dress may be of any serviceable material, but must be black. Only black trimmings are allowed. Only white and black are allowed for neckwear. No heavy wrap or winter hat need be provided, as the gown and cap are sufficient. Dur- ing fall and spring the uniform is plain white waist and black skirt, and plain white straw hat, with black ribbon band as trimming. No party or evening dresses are allowed on any occaS1on. SPECIAL COURSES. Pupils sufliciently matured, who wish to take special or irregular courses, may do soeprovided the President shall decide that the selected course is preferable to attain the end in View. Special courses are arranged for those who have been teachers or desire to become teachers, and certificates of their grades and the work done will be presented when they leave. We take special interest in instructing and training in Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Art and Elocution, pu- pils who wish to become teachers of these branches. Con- servatories of Music, Art Schools and Schools of Elocu- tion present no better opportunity for such pupils than this College presents. 58 ax .-. l Rh
