NVhile the principle of prize-giving is unas- 4. Prizes. sailablc, its abuse, often made to gratify par- ents, is absurd. To multiply prizes or to cheapen them is to destroy their signihcance. IV. DISCIPLINE The College gives each professor disciplinary 1' Its Mean' authority everywhere in the precincts. Dis- in ' --.- Sci :Qld obedience and disrespect to hun are considered l ' as serious as though shown to the President personallv. Requests for exemptions and excuses of all kinds-which should be rare--are not even noticed unless made by the par- ents and in writing, The L'o'lege requi1'es that all such com- munications, both excuses for absence, tardiness or neglect ot' home-work, and requests for exemption from reeitations or any College exercise, should be made to the Presi- dent and not to the several professors, and should contain, if possible, some aeceptab'e reason. The College does not al- low a boy to leave the premises during school hours without permission from the Vice-President. All other permissions must be obtained directly from the member of the lfaeulty actually in charge. Ordinary faults, such as unruly beltaviour, 2. Punish- breach of silence, neglect ot' lessons or exer- ments. elses, tardy arrival, etc., are punished by de- tention after school hours,'or some like pen- alty: while immorality of any kind, serious insubordination to any professor, or incorrigihle laziness is visited by expul- sion should the Faculty so decide. V. EXPENSES The College year is divided into two unequal 1. Tuition. terms, the hrst ending with Christmas, the other. longer, closing about the first week of june. The tuition fee is 2,240.00 for the lirst term and 350.00 for the second: to be paid the second month of each term. No pupil will be allowed back unless he has paid in full the tuition of the preceding term No deduction is ever made in case of exemption, temporary or permanent, from military or gymnastic training. There are no extras and therefore no deductions. The charge of 35.00 in the classes of physics, for the use of physical and chemical apparatus is not looked upon as an extra. Though! formerly only the high-school pupils . were ouigec to have the College uniform: 2' gggfoffgns-' now, beginning with September. 1910, all pupils ' are required to have two uniformsg a dress uniform and a service uniform. The dress uniform costs about SFl7.00, the service uniform, about 38.00. Students must be in uniform whenever in attendance. All iniury to College property will be repaired 3' Damages' at the expense of the damager. VI. THE STUDIES Marist College comprises three departments, each with its special aim, means and methods.

a worth-while daily average of three hours home workg and theumonthly report of 00's or of 80's is, generally, the correct register of the home application. ihhe disparity between the marks in the monthly report, which are for daily recitations and the marks for competi- tions or examinations is explicable. The daily lessons are an- swered orally and are fresh in the memory, besides being briefg 'while the questions in competitions on matters seen some time previous and already blurred by fresher knowledge are to be answered in writing and are consequently more Closely noted, .'X. further point to be observed is that sometimes a boy receives very good marks for application and rather poor marks for reeitations or homework. Willingness and success are broadly different things. Monthly reports are not sent out for December and May, lhetr place being taken in those months bv llotitication of the examination results. ' HW 1'l1fn'ts are made for and to the parents. They shou'd be carefully scrutinized and. if necessary, discussed with the President. They should be returned toithe President within the week of issue. III. EXAMINATIONS The titness of an applicant for the wolrk of l. Entraitce any class is not determined by his grading m Examma- the school he previously attendedg it is ascer- tl0h. tained by written examinations. The years work in any class calls for specific knowl- '-'flge Ou which to build and is impossible without this knowl- edge. If, however, a boy proves deticient in one subject only. ll'-',mfl5' he allowed a brief time in which to overcome his de- ficiency. ' 2 The rule is inflexible that before promotion - Term. must come examination. Neither absence nor Examma- sickness excuses. A boy must obtain a pass hong- flV1'I'1lt2Je in each of the main subjects. Should he fail within ten points to reach any of these ff'-t':i' averages, be is allowed as a favor to stand an oral ex- .tnnnatton in the branches of that subject, to see if he can msc, his 1lYC1'1ltre to the required tigure. .Ile is said to he CflllfllllOIlL'll in that subject. Should he succeed the second UID? he is counted as having passed, ' lltere are two of these general written examinations, one -It the close of each term. in December and in june. The re- Snlts of the former are averaged with those ot' the latter, in order to decide promotion. i A useful educational means is the eonlllcfl' 3.
