'LINDEN HALL Home Economic:- Cooking and Sewing as an extra - - - - - 50 00 Incidentals and School Bank A deposit of S35 .00 is required for each pupil at the beginning of each term to cover books, stationery, school entertainments, class dues, etc. This does not cover pocket money or other expenditures except in case of girls under high school age. Each girl is provided with a check book through which she may draw on her deposit for the above purposes. At the close of each month the cancelled checks are mailed to parents for their inspection. No check will be honored and no supplies furnished unless the student's bank card shows a credit in her favor. A strict enforcement of this rule tends to establish good financial habits on the part of the students. The bank was instituted to ob- viate the bad effects which any charge system necessarily has upon a girl who is fixing habits, and to give the students experience in handling a bank account. Spending Money It is not desirable that a school girl shall have a large allowance of spending money. There is little occasion for spending. In the case of the younger girls, who are still in the grades, arrangement will be made to pay them a small fixed sum out of the deposit made for in' cidentals. Q In the case of students of high school age a separate deposit for spending money may be made in the School Bank. This account is known as the Personal Account and may be drawn upon by check fa different colored check is usedj. The weekly amount to be drawn may be fixed by the parents or left to the option of the girl herself. In the latter case the school assumes no responsibility. It is urged, however, that all allowances be very moderate. Excess in this matter does not promote the welfare of the girls. Time of Payment Tuition charges, etc., for the entire year are due and payable upon entry. As a matter of convenience to patrons, however, two fPage Forty-fivej

These extremely low rates as compared with the quality of the service and the character of the equipment are made possible only by Endowment. If the school were privately owned and had to pay a fair return on the investment in addition to paying its own way at least 3200.00 would have to be added to the present fees.

LINDEN HALL payments may be made: S450 at the beginning of the fall term, or at the time of entrance, and the balance on the first of February. All drafts or checks should be made payable to Linden Hall. Except by special agreement, made in writing, pupils are not entered for a shorter period than a full scholastic year, or for what remains of it at the time of entrance, and the fee will not he remitted in case of withdrawal or expulsion, except in cases of serious illness, when the loss will be equally divided. This is a distinct condition of the contract. No deductions are made for occasional absence or for expulsion. New upils are received at any time, if there is a vacancy, and are charged from date of admission to the end of the school year. Applications must be accompanied by an entrance fee of 525, which will be deducted from the tuition fee. It is forfeited, how' ever, if the pupil fails to enter. Business and social references are required. Suggestions and Regulations Dress Uniformity in dress is not considered desirable. The school aims at cultivating individuality, and believes that the taste of the individual should find expression in the matter of dress. It is re' quired, however, that all dresses be simple and modest, and in keep' ing with good taste. An elaborate wardrobe and expensive jewelry are alike out of place in a boarding school. Linden Hall discourages extravagance of every form. The wardrobes of the younger pupils are cared for by the teach' ers. The older girls are required to look after their own wardrobes, under the supervision of the teachers. All articles of dress should be marked in full, and legibly, to prevent mistakes or loss. The marking should be done with printed or woven name tapes. Confidential Communicants Parents are invited to make the Principal or his wife such conf idential communications as may aid them in understanding the special needs and characteristics of their daughters.
