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-

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

ds, 161' . if or- :rs, an- 150 om re- ms ost ac- rge the ,1 es ate Ldy of Pupils from Kansas City and other nearby points will not be permitted to make weekly Visits to their homes. Once a month is, under ordinary circumstances, often enough. Those who make frequent Visits home do poor work at school. Parents are earnestly asked not to be too indulgent in allowing pocket money to their daughters. Most girls spend more money while at school than is necessary. All express packages must be prepaid. Eatables, except fruit, must not be sent to pupils; and when sent will be returned to sender at his expense. Boxes will be inspected before being delivered to pupil. A11 telegrams to pupils should be addressed to the President. He claims the right to open all telegrams and special delivery letters. Pupils are not called to the telephone. If parents wish to use the telephone, they must call the President and not the pupil. Please do not ask permission for your daughters to at- tend parties or social gatherings of any kind in the town or community, or to visit out of town. Parents or guardians cannot give their daughters or wards permission, either by letter or while Visiting them at the College, to deviate from any of the College rules or regulations. Parents are entreated to confer promptly and frankly With us concerning any complaints that may be made. Whether the complaint is just or unjust, we shall make frank reply. We require for the pupils good, that she not be per- mitted to spend the Christmas holidays in townw nor a few days with friends texcept immediate relativesi in town at the close of school. Requests concerning pupils, to receive attention, must be sent, not through pupils, but directly to the President by mail. Those who place pupils in this school are understood to accept all conditions and regulations of this catalogue as part of their contract. 67
