EXAMINATIONS. If a pupilis general average in any study does not fall below eighty during the term, and her absence from Class during the term does not average more than three times per month, she may be passed Without written examina- tion; but if her grade falls below eighty or her absence from class, from any cause, exceeds an average of three times per month, she must stand a written examination. When a subject is taught by lectures, examinations are re- quired. CARE OF THE SICK. Should a pupil be sick while under our care, we shall take the same interest in her that we would wish others to take in our own children. The Matron and Directress of the College Home will always be found kind and atten- tive to those the least ill. Proper precautions will be taken to prevent serious sickness. The best physician at com- mand will be summoned, if necessary, and his Opinion in the case will be promptly sent to the parents. In cases of protracted illness a nurse will be employed at the expense of parent. ENTERTAINMENTS. Occasionally receptions, musicales, recitals, and open sessions are held in the College building. These have been pleasant and stimulating. CANDIDATES FOR ADMISSION. Girls and young ladies whose attainments are within the scope of Preparatory and Collegiate Departments will be welcomed as pupils. We will not knowingly re- ceive any who have been dismissed from other Colleges. The rules are easy and require only diligence and lady-like, deportment. Young ladies purposing to profit by their associations here shall not be disappointed; they are met more than half way by the cordial sympathy and earn- est aid of teachers and officers. Young ladies who do not so purpose are wasting time in coming to our school. 65

But if you desire for your daughters the solid advantages of thor- ough training under the most faithful and skillful teachers, who, without flattery, will be true to the best interests; if you wish your daughters to become thorough and ac- complished scholars, give them to us, and also give us your conhdence. At great cost we have brought to our aid the best talent that we could reach, both in Europe and in America. Help us inythis great work by teaching your daughters to conhde in us, and we promise you the hap- piest results. Charges must be paid strictly in advance at the begin- ning of each half year. Please do not wait for us to write, reminding you of this contract. Bills overdue will draw 6 per cent interest. If your daughter enters school within the hrst month, the charge will be from the first day of the session; enter- ing later, she will be charged from the week of entrance to close of school year. Parents will please limit their daughters correspon- dence. This is a source of frequent evil. Look well also to the character of even their young lady friends to whom they write. Much depends upon chaste, elevating corre- spondence. Parents will please furnish a list of persons with whom their daughters may correspond. We most earnestly advise that parents forbid their daughters corre- sponding with any young man with whom they are unac- quainted and whose character they do not know. A large correspondence will not be permitted; in addition to the names of the immediate family, not more than four names will be allowed on a list of correspondents. By liimmediate familyii we do not mean uncles, aunts and cousins. We discourage the frequent visits of young lady friends. Visiting in town is not permitted, except in com- pany with a teacher. Visiting in Kansas City or any of the smaller towns is not permitted at all. 66 h r x-
